re: Trump just tweeted he will release full transcript

Why are we supposed to waste time on every baseless accusation someone throws out there?

If I've learned nothing on here, it is that people can "honestly" get it wrong. I have watched an interview on TV and then seen a thread on here about it and my interpretation is nearly 180 degrees out of phase of the OP.

The OP is not "lying" and neither am I. We just MIGHT have our own verification bias. I honestly try to fight it. But, I know it exists. It is why I appreciate the more "left" posters on here. It helps me to see the same evidence from a different point of view.


Now, if I overheard HRC saying something to a leader (also, am I only hearing one side?). My loathing for her MAY make me "hear" a very negative connotation. I'm not LYING. But, I can be wrong.

the only thing sufficient is the whistle blower complaint going to congress.

So forget about the actual transcript of the phone call? We should listen to the second or third-hand account of what some guy thought he heard someone say the president was talking about. And then we should have Congress to Scott try to impeach a president based on that third hand knowledge instead of just reading the actual phone call?

No, just get out of the way.

As I understand the complaint involves more than just the phone call.

Can you link me to "your understanding"

Again, where is the statute directing this?

Whistleblowers' Protection Act
The Intelligence Community Whistleblowers’ Protection Act (ICWPA) dictates that after the ICIG receives such a complaint, he or she must, within 14 days, determine whether the complaint is credible and of “urgent concern.”


From there, the ICIG must submit the complaint to the Director of National Intelligence, who in turn is required to share the complaint with the Congressional intelligence committees within seven days.

But that isn’t what happened.

When acting DNI Joseph Maguire received the complaint from ICIG Michael Atkinson, he took the complaint to the Justice Department instead of to Congress. By doing so, he has impeded the process as stipulated by the law, preventing both the whistleblower and the ICIG from informing Congress about the details of the complaint.

No new wars. Economy doing well. No protected class has lost any rights. Can you explain why you are so desperate? Thanks.

His understanding is just another twat on twitter more than likely.

It's a place where prog twats like to fret and cry.

That's not a statute.

Then on Wednesday evening, The Washington Post reported that the whistle-blower’s allegations centered on at least one conversation involving Mr. Trump, setting off another frenzy in Trump-era Washington. The inspector general, Michael Atkinson, appeared on Capitol Hill in a closed-door session on Thursday but divulged no specifics beyond saying that the complaint involved multiple actions, according to two officials familiar with his briefing.

Just like the rest of us, the media. In this case the NYT.
