[W:90]Whistleblower filed a complaint to the intelligence IG.Why is it being withheld from Congress?

Re: A whistleblower filed a complaint to the intelligence IG. Why is it being withheld from Congress

You know, it is the "LAW" that this report be given to the House intelligence Committee. The committee is not supposed to have to even request the information, it is by "law" required to be given to them before the end of 7 days. Of course you Trump cultists do not think that the Trump administration has to follow the law. You seem to think they can pick and choose what laws they follow depending on how those laws help or hurt their politics. You Trump cultists are worse for this country than Trump ever could be.

Amen. I don't blame trump for being the con-man he is, I blame the republicans for supporting him and in turn helping to hurt america.
 
Re: A whistleblower filed a complaint to the intelligence IG. Why is it being withheld from Congress

I agree. Especially since it’s essentially being done in your face.

The save the Trump White House effort seems to revolve around three pillars. Obstruction, which is ongoing and out in the open. They’re trying to run the clock out on impeachment using the courts. Right wing press denial, which isn’t working out so well. It’s not helped by Trump’s obvious incompetence and corruption. Finally, they are trying to get McCabe indicted so they can set up a video counter narrative by staging a show trial.

They’re trying to run the clock out on impeachment using the courts.

no one is stopping Ms Pelosi from starting impeachment hearings...other than herself, and her own common sense
 
Re: A whistleblower filed a complaint to the intelligence IG. Why is it being withheld from Congress

This smells like yet another stunning abuse of power by Trump and his band of merry criminals.....laughably referred to as his Administration.

A disingenuous argument if there ever was one.

Trump knows that when the rogue’s gallery gets put on television to say what they told Mueller on live national television, he’s in trouble deep.

Until then, Trumpsters will continue to falsely claim that the Mueller Report doesn’t say what it actually says, and keep whistling past the graveyard of Trumpian disloyalty.

They cant’ do anything about the incompetence or graft. Trump emphasizes that every day.
 
Re: A whistleblower filed a complaint to the intelligence IG. Why is it being withheld from Congress

What exactly was the whistleblower blowing his/her whistle about?

Don't know. Simple truth is WE at this point don't have to know. Its the Right that screams bloody murder to have un-redacted FESA warrants made public.

The House Intel Committee has NEVER repeat never been denied the kind of information they are requesting here before. This is nothing more than another major abuse of Executive Power. Its not more than that and its not less than that.

Have said it for over a year now, Trump's abuses of power in office far exceed anything HE might have done and probably did to achieve that office.
 
Re: A whistleblower filed a complaint to the intelligence IG. Why is it being withheld from Congress

It does not matter, the law "requires" that they turn over the report to the House within 7 days. It does not say that the President can pick and choose whether he follows the law, it says the department "has" to turn over the report. I know you think that trump is God so he does not have to follow the law, but he does.

I think maybe you have a too-expansive view of what the law requires and the conditions that require it.
Or how legit the story even is.
Has this story been anywhere else but an opinion piece in the WAPO?
Seems like it would be.
Hell, even the latest lie about Kavanaugh made it into headlines everywhere before it blew up in the NYT face.

bull****

Pelosi can call for impeachment hearings today

congress can put on all the evidence it HAS....

and IF the american people deem that evidence worthy, they will call for Trump's head

but, if it is the same crap we have heard up to now....not only will the Democrats lose the hearing, they will lose the house and the Presidential elections coming up

she knows it, everyone knows it, maybe except you....

and NO congress isnt going to get any more testimony from white house staff, or the people who have already given statements

if what you have isnt enough after two years of investigations, then maybe there wasnt anything there to get....

I expected, based on that dishonest response, that you are probably one of the many who has no idea what the Mueller Report says.

Trump and his minions know that putting those witnesses and facts on live television for the average American (who doesn’t read) will have a powerful impact, dispite your weak but belligerent denials.

That’s how it worked on 1973 and 1974,

And Donald Trump has no legal argument for ordering witnesses not to testify, or financial institutions from providing documents.

We’re just waiting till he loses those fights. He’s trying to run the clock out by doing so.

i know exactly what it says

but what the democrats want to do is akin to a live political sideshow....and the President isnt allowing it

so either you have enough evidence...or you dont....and based on what i read....you dont

but opinions may vary....

because you dont have to sway democrats....they are already sold

you have to sway independents and republicans...and the BAR is much higher there

I seriously doubt that your knowledge of the Mueller Report extends much beyond what your AM radio and Fox told you.

And putting the rogue’s gallery on live TV will set up that scenario.

Trump knows it.’

But it’s interesting how you continue to assert that Trump can prevent things that he has no legal authority to prevent.

That pretty much tells me that you know that what I am saying is true, and that you’re afraid of it.

It's FISA.
FUSA or FOSA I'd understand but FESA?

What is Schiff asking for and why is he asking for it? Their oversight power isn't absolute, you know. There has to be a reason. "We're looking for dirt." doesn't qualify.

Is it possible that Pelosi recognizes the Senate will never vote to find Trump guilty during an impeachment process?

Is it also possible that Pelosi may be timing the impeachment hearings so that they are publicly televised immediately prior to the 2020 election?

The oversight committee is seeking information provided by a whistleblower pertaining to perceived wrongdoing within the intelligence community

Yeah. That's what it said. So what does Schiff want to see that State isn't already aware of?

Re: A whistleblower filed a complaint to the intelligence IG. Why is it being withheld from Congress

the wrongdoing alleged by the whistleblower

Does he have any indication that the alleged wrongdoing isn't being or hasn't been investigated?

as chair of the oversight committee, i am certain he recognizes his committee has not investigated this whistleblower allegation
 
Re: A whistleblower filed a complaint to the intelligence IG. Why is it being withheld from Congress

THey didn't cover these fake news stories up. Why should they start now.

That's what I'm asking. Why cover it up?

No it isn't. In fact, your side is doing everything in its power to cover up evidence of wrongdoing by the Trump administration. Why would you be doing that if there is no wrongdoing?
