They have been allowed to get away with this BS so far, so why not push the envelope a little bit farther?

Until some people are thrown in prison, this will not stop.

But I agree with what you said! 100%

I'm hoping that the whistle blower steps into Rep. Schiff's office personally, and without fanfare. So what if DNI told him not to, all norms have been blown out of the water already.

(WASHINGTON) — The chairman of the House intelligence committee has issued a subpoena to the acting Director of National Intelligence, saying Joseph Maguire is withholding a whistleblower complaint from Congress.

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff said in a statement Friday evening that the committee will require that Maguire testify Thursday unless he complies with the subpoena. The chairman did not detail the subject of the whistleblower complaint, but said he was aware the intelligence community’s inspector general had determined it to be credible and a matter of “urgent concern.”

Schiff said Maguire is required to share the complaint with Congress but won’t do so, and “this raises serious concerns about whether White House, Department of Justice or other executive branch officials are trying to prevent a legitimate whistleblower complaint from reaching its intended recipient, the Congress, in order to cover up serious misconduct.”

Go get 'em Adam!

He's another person I would love to see as Attorney General in 2021. He would take down a lot of these bad guys.

But let's start right now with Maguire. Like, tomorrow. Well, Thursday will work.

As I said in another post somewhere here today, we need a lot more than 24 hours per day to bring all of these skeezy cases to the fore. Remember how quaint Scott Pruit was? And Tom Price? Such plebian crimes!
