Not Buying THIS Again -Trump Admin Prepares REDACTED VERSION Of Whistleblower Complaint For Congress

[kpete]

The Trump administration is preparing to release a redacted version of the DNI whistleblower complaint to Congress to quash the growing calls for President Donald Trump’s impeachment, and to assuage lawmakers angry at the blatant disregard for oversight law.

According to the New York Times, Trump called House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) Tuesday to convince her that he personally wasn’t responsible for blocking the DNI whistleblower’s complaint from Congress in the first place.

He reportedly thinks that the optics of the administration blocking the information from Congress are ultimately worse for him than the content of those documents. In the same vein, they plan to release an “unclassified and unredacted” transcript of the late July call he had with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Wednesday.

However, according to Reuters, the transcript of the call is unlikely to be verbatim and will not be accompanied by a recording. Instead, the ultimate document will more likely be notes on the phone call taken by officers on assignment at the National Security Council. Those note-takers are reportedly unlikely to include details that would be embarrassing for their nation’s leader, should the document leak.

1. Fool me once, shame on me. Fool me twice.....won't get fooled again.

Where have I heard that before...

6. I don't think I will ever forget that Sunday, that awful

sinking feeling, the confusion, even the anchors seemed to be feeling the same thing. After a year of anticipation it felt like such a letdown. They blew any credibility they had in that moment. AG Barr would be smart to keep his big head out of it this time.

tamper with evidence?

7. Isn't the whistleblower going to testify regardless?

If so, let him release whatever the fuck he wants, and when it isn't accurate to the facts, throw in an obstruction charge...
