DOJ was Directing the DNI in How they should Break the Federal Whistleblower Law

[kpete]

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Department of Justice played a key role in a Trump administration decision to withhold a whistleblower complaint from Congress, U.S. House Intelligence panel chairman Adam Schiff said on Thursday, adding that lawmakers did not know yet if the White House was involved.

Schiff, speaking to reporters after a closed-door meeting with the intelligence community’s inspector general, said that the Justice Department had misinterpreted the law in blocking the complaint.

[Wellstone ruled]

1. As per Maddow's show.

Whom ever is the Whistleblower,they have been threatened with Criminal Prosecution if they go to the Congressional committees.

Now that is some serious shit my friends.

[YOHABLO]

2. This has the smell of Barr all over it. Trumps protector.

6. I know Barr protected the Bushes and let's just say

he thinks the president has extreme powers.

But..what is a long time career guy doing at this point in his life? Why would he suddenly go deep criminal? Or was he always crooked as hell? Why didn't Dems know?

Gave an Oscar performance at confirmation! And they fell for it.

[Wellstone ruled]

9. Did not Barr write the Pardons for

Libby as well as Olie North?

The smell is getting over whelming. Hunch says the Lawyer repping the Whistle Blower is a specialist dealing with CIA folks.

Folks,buy Pop Corn and Potato Chip Futures. It is going to be one hell of a shit show to come. Leningrad Lindsey and Moscow Mitch will be outed as well.

Christmas on the Volga.

10. Something like Fitzmas?

[joshdawg]

12. Yes!

3. Jury nullification almost a given for leaker if exposed criminal abuse of executive power

If DOJ dared to prosecute, no way a jury would convict such a Patriot for saving the country.

7. +1,000,000

[ffr]

11. Yep, they said much the same on 11th Hour tonight.

You cannot threaten, fire, reprimand, etc, etc, etc... a whistleblower. That law is written to protect them from persecution for obvious reasons...

THE PEOPLE THEY ARE BLOWING THE WHISTLE ON WILL GO AFTER THEM, i.e. tRump, Pence, Barr,...

[Pachamama]

4. Impeachment?

When does it finally become enough?

[Laura PourMeADrink]

8. I guess never. Sad.

[democratisphere]

5. Blatant traitorous in your face criminals accusing a true American

of being a criminal. The end of drumpf's Presidency grows near and I for one can't wait for that day!

13. Trump's Roy Cohn at DOJ is at it again. nt
