So far the Madman has completely ignored the Whistleblower story

[Tommy_Carcetti]

That will undoubtedly change.

Prepare for lots of “deep state” nonsense to be thrown about, and a lot of attacks against the still anonymous whistleblower for his or her “disloyalty.”

[Corgigal]

1. Which tells you

how dangerous it is to him.

I hope all of our spies are ok.

[DemoTex]

13. Exactly.

This must be really, really bad. So bad, that he knows that he can't tweet it away.

[Hortensis]

19. My first guess, yes. He goes to ground when frightened,

then his sycophants reassure him -- as required -- that all's well, he's the mightiest of all, and it begins again.

I also hope all our spies are ok.

[Scarsdale]

2. He is busy

at the moment, boosting his latest ass-kisser O'Brien. All any gop member has to do is write in praise of "dear leader" and they get a position in the tRump cabal.

[JI7]

3. maybe there will be another "greenland" type thing to distract. but THIS story must stay on the top

along with things like his profiting off of the govt by having officials stay at his shitty businesses .

[3Hotdogs]

4. If he does comment, "Fake news from the lamestreet media."

[Tommy_Carcetti]

5. Actually I predict something different to slip...

...maybe in a helicopter presser.

He’ll say something to the effect of how he’s “very concerned” about “disloyalty” and how he’s going to “take care of it.”

In other words, a vague confirmation of the story. Because he can’t help himself.

[Pacifist Patriot]

7. I'll try to contain my shock when that happens.

I think that is a highly plausible prediction!

[Pacifist Patriot]

6. Exactly what my husband said when the WaPo push came through last night.

I don't disagree.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

9. The whistleblower should expect the McCabe treatment.

He or she will be branded a traitor to the king.

[Pacifist Patriot]

10. Absolutely. Meanwhile the rest of us will be eternally grateful he or she put country over self.

Whoever this was had to have been astoundingly alarmed. For an official in the U.S. intelligence community to file a formal whistleblower complaint with the inspector general is shocking enough. But involving the president? I wonder how many people truly grasp how monumental this is. It just doesn't happen. This individual had to know they were putting their reputation and career on the line and did it anyway. I hate to sound melodramatic, but I'm also concerned for the person's safety as well. Any threat, especially one of this magnitude, to Trump could trigger his most unstable supporters. This person has courage and conviction in spades.

[Mike Niendorff]

11. THIS

Extremely well said.

8. DOJ stooge Barr

Is having every available resource dig into the whistle blower's past to find something to discredit her/him.

"Aha...this whistle blower broke the law in 1999"...(fact got a parking ticket) . Prepare for the mudslinging on this patriotic American, it will come. Fast and Furious...

[Blue_playwright]

12. I hope the whistleblower is hidden

Hidden away in Canada or Montana or Timbuktu.

[world wide wally]

14. It would be great timing to begin formal impeachment hearings as this story breaks.

[StClone]

15. War and homeless in SF distractions

He says he will avoid war, but the drums are beating.

The "homeless in SF" meme is, as pointed out by several observers, a tact to say "Socialism is a failure! Just looky you FOX viewers vote Dem and this is your fate." Hey, FOX viewers take a look at rural Kentucky, Tennessee, and much of West Virginia and much more! SF homeless? because it's so well-to-do you couldn't afford a house there you fools.

[gordianot]

16. Could it be Trump's July 31 call to Putin?

Supposedly about Trump’s offer of U.S. help on Russian wildfires. The Russians thought there was an offer to drop sanctions..

What exactly went on between Bolton and Trump to dump someone seemingly hell bent in causing Trump damage?

Pure speculation and coincidence.

[Catherine Vincent]

17. I'm waiting on Lindsey Graham to start crying. nt

[saidsimplesimon]

18. I dare say, woman, this remark is soo southern.

Thank you, Catherine
