Donald Trump has repeatedly called for the Whistleblower’s identity on Twitter, and we can understand why the former reality show star is nervous. But he, along with his Republican colleagues, is putting the Whistleblower’s life in jeopardy. In fact, it was reported today that the legal team representing the whistleblower who first drew attention to Trump’s July 25 call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has received multiple death threats.
The whistleblower’s complaint was filed on August 12, and the details were published by the Washington Post, giving us another example of Donald Trump’s glaring betrayal of the U.S. An official was so unnerved by a “promise” Trump made on the phone to a foreign leader that he or she filed a formal whistleblower complaint. The Intelligence Community Inspector General concluded that the complaint was credible and a matter of “urgent concern.”
The president took to his Twitter account soon afterward, and his defense of the jaw-dropping complaint is, of course, “Presidential Harassment!”
President Twattwaffle also called the complaint “fake news.”
Another Fake News story out there – It never ends! Virtually anytime I speak on the phone to a foreign leader, I understand that there may be many people listening from various U.S. agencies, not to mention those from the other country itself. No problem!

….Knowing all of this, is anybody dumb enough to believe that I would say something inappropriate with a foreign leader while on such a potentially “heavily populated” call. I would only do what is right anyway, and only do good for the USA!

Presidential Harassment!

President Dumbfuck had spoken to or interacted with five foreign leaders at the time: Russian President Vladimir Putin, North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un, the Prime Minister of Pakistan, the Prime Minister of the Netherlands, and the Emir of Qatar.
Trump’s gibberish aside, the sequence of events at the time the complaint was filed is interesting.
8/8: Coats advises Sue Gordon, who would replace him as DNI, to follow him out the door.
8/12: The #Whistleblower complaint is filed.
8/15: Coats steps down as DNI. Sue Gordon also resigns.

According to the Los Angeles Times, additional details the committee’s investigative staff has learned about the whistleblower complaint — without the actual document — have left them shaken.
The question is, who did Donnie sell our country out to? If he’s truly not a national security threat, then he can prove it by allowing the whistleblower to speak publicly about his or her concerns — in front of Congress.
