CNN: The inspector general to brief lawmakers tomorrow on whistleblower complaint.

This is breaking right now. I tuned in mid-report so I don't know if it will be an open or closed hearing, but I'm assuming closed.

1. It will be closed (sorry)

and nothing will come out of it.

White House and fat Billy Barr know what it is - more and more Congress is being shit on day by day.

Maybe the whistleblower should come forward and just fucking let it fly. We need to know what this is. I am so sick of this shit.

2. Since the IG is the one who informed Schiff, I'm not as pessimistic, but I fully understand

why anyone would be.

3. See my edited post

sorry

[Fiendish Thingy]

10. This IG doesn't report to Barr nt

[gldstwmn]

13. I wish he'd find a journo he or she trusts

and leak it.

4. I've asked before, but guess no-one knows for sure BUT

i'll ask again. Does Schiff know who this whistleblower is?

[pnwmom]

5. I don't think that's been reported. nt

[bluestarone]

6. guess not TY!

8. Guesses? Coats or his deputy (who "resigned" just before this complaint was filed)

This story becomes more interesting when we think about this whistleblower complaint. (Also remember that some insiders thought that Coats was the "Anonymous Staffer" who wrote that "adults in the room" editorial basically calling Trump a moron.)

The country's No. 2 intelligence official, Sue Gordon, knew it was likely she would have to eventually step down from her post, but the timing of that decision became more urgent on Thursday after her boss -- outgoing spy chief Dan Coats -- interrupted a meeting she was holding on election security and asked his deputy to submit her letter of resignation, sources familiar with the events told CNN.

14. I don't think so.

Just that it's urgent.

[blm]

7. Good news

[Fiendish Thingy]

9. This is potentially a BFD

If the IG shares what the DNI was supposed to share.

I wonder if the IG will defy an order from Trump to not show up? At some point, someone will testify despite orders from the WH.

[bluestarone]

11. Agree!

THIS could be the end game for a BUNCH of them!

[gldstwmn]

12. Closed and Trump has instructed him

not to reveal what's in the complaint. I don't need to know top secret info but I sure do want someone I trust to know what the hell is going on.
