Do you believe Trump has seen the whistleblower's complaint?

Did the DNI keep the "complaint" to himself and told the DOJ about it verbally on the phone or in a meeting?

Either way, he probably told someone? William Barr? Donald Trump?

Why did he not follow the law? Was it out of respect for Donald Trump? Or fear of Donald Trump? Why would he place President Tweet above the law?

Since he is an "Acting" Director, how long does he plan on staying around?

We can assume that at least three people know what is in the complaint. The ICIG, the DNI, and the whistleblower himself/herself.

Are there now more people that know the whistleblower's identity?

And the White House knows who the whistleblower is. That's why they're already smearing the whistleblower as "partisan."

Mick Mulvaney has filled him in.

Notice how Trump has now attacked the Persons Lawyer. New spin,associated with Schumer and Hillary.

That is the work of Mulvaney and most likely Steve Miller. Understand there is a out side Lawyer who volunteered Pro Bono with this case suspecting this type of reprisals from the White House.

either a goddamn fool or a Rethug shill or more than likely both.

He is an utterly amoral treasonous fuck, a 12,000 plus lie-telling POS, with a cadre of pure criminal white nationalists and multimillionaire grifters surrounding him and fighting each other to have the 'honour' of tongue-flicking the shart fragments off his hairy sphincter and teeny-tiny shrivelled jacobs.

My huge fear is this goes the way of the 'Barred' Muller report summary.

Rump's murderous millions of brainwashed, pseudo-Nazi, slack-jawed cultists will believe ANYTHING that fat fuck orange bloat says.

Rump has a psychopathic messiah/Jeebus complex and if we do not meet the coming Rethug viciousness with MORE and WORSE

well, all I can say then is if you wanted to NAIL him hard and fast, BUT go at him with anything less than the full stop nail gun of justice....... this just might be the result

Did the WH routinely create transcripts of calls in live time? A transcript recreated after the fact is fiction.
