Whistleblower complaint about President Trump involves Ukraine, according to two people familiar with the matter

A whistleblower complaint about President Trump made by an intelligence official centers on Ukraine, according to two people familiar with the matter, which has set off a struggle between Congress and the executive branch.

The complaint involved communications with a foreign leader and a “promise” that Trump made, which was so alarming that a U.S. intelligence official who had worked at the White House went to the inspector general of the intelligence community, two former U.S. officials said.

Two and a half weeks before the complaint was filed, Trump spoke with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, a comedian and political newcomer who was elected in a landslide in May.

That call is already under investigation by House Democrats who are examining whether Trump and his attorney Rudolph W. Giuliani sought to manipulate the Ukrainian government into helping Trump’s reelection campaign. Lawmakers have demanded a full transcript and a list of participants on the call.

1. BOOM!

[Me.]

2. Heard Conjectuure

That it was the traitor agreeing to turn Ambassador McFaul over to Putin

[lanlady]

6. That's what I thought at first as well

Given that he practically offered up McFaul and other Americans to Putin at the disastrous Helsinki Summit.

But reports are now saying it had to do with Ukraine. Did he promise Putin to lift sanctions against Russia for its actions in Crimea? I guess we'll know soon enough.

[BigmanPigman]

3. Just heard it on CNN from the Wa Post.

The moron did have Ghouliani go there to get dirt on Biden and he did speak to the Ukrainian leader at the end of July.

[StarfishSaver]

4. Schiff may not need to subpoena anything. The whole story may be out in a couple of days

[JI7]

5. what if he lied to ukraine about doing something that would go against Putin

you know how he is always just lying about shit ? he might have promised he would do something he had no intention of doing but in the hopes of getting something from ukraine.

like"say Biden did............, and i will make Putin..........

10. It's gotta be unusually bad. Not policy. Like I bet

The MF said he didn't care if someone was murdered. What's worse than shitty bad immoral policy?

[saidsimplesimon]

7. Has the mad man put a price tag

on the Ukraine?

Fasten your seat belts. It's going to be a rocky ride if we are to defeat this traitor.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

12. Hope it's something SO hottible even many GOP

Will be disgusted.

Maybe Weld stock will go up!

[LonePirate]

8. How many people, besides the whistleblower, know what was said and have not stepped forward?

Every single one of them is an accomplice in this.

I wonder if this is why Coats recently departed as DNI.

[Johnny2X2X]

9. The Dems in the House have the transcript

They’ve been investigating this for a month.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

13. Transcript of what exactly Johnny?

[Johnny2X2X]

14. The call with the Ukraine President.

Where he and Giuliani likely asked for dirt on Biden in exchange for $250 million in military aid.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

21. Thought timing wrong? Rudy on CNN now and he

Seems very unhinged.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

22. Oh jeez that's it. Negotiation on Biden dirt. Rudy

Half admitting now. Shit just hoped it was on the murder level.

[saidsimplesimon]

17. Excellent question

It is possible that wise warriors know when to regroup for a major battle on another day.

The momentum is building.

11. This also takes us right back to the 2016 RNC convention.

15. I just thought of this a few moments ago, MB!!

Been here
Done this

Let’s end this MADNESS

[Laura PourMeADrink]

16. Let's just assume he rigged with Russia on election

Plus all the other shitty things he's done.

It is just pure logic he is capable and has done lots of other things. It will all come out eventually. People hate him and are driven to find more.

Let's just hope he doesn't get reelected.

[saidsimplesimon]

19. Hope is not going to GOTV, imo

[Laura PourMeADrink]

20. Me neither!!! It was actually what I expected a year ago

That we'd never run against him. Will they roll out Mitch Romney? Lol.

[saidsimplesimon]

25. Ah, Mittens and Mitch thrown in a ditch....

The only way I can handle the slowwww movement on the arc of justice is jabbing those criminals in the other party for crimes they are yet to be punished for. Oh yes, I do mean punished to the full extent of the law.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

31. Brilliant

Slow movement on the arc of justice

Just perfectly stated. Fyi Rudy melting down on cnn

[saidsimplesimon]

18. "Pauly Walnuts", precious DU comment

it's why some of us keep coming back. thank you

[Laura PourMeADrink]

24. Note to self...add wit :)

[spanone]

23. saw this in another thread....

[Kid Berwyn]

27. Game over, man.

Wonder what Benedict Donald agreed to do in exchange?

[spanone]

28. If true, no wonder they want to bury it.

[Kid Berwyn]

30. Trump will spend the rest of his miserable life in prison.

...Where he should have been long ago.

And if it is true, may all those who were in on this conspiracy also find accommodations in the penitentiary.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

29. Thanks!

[PhoenixDem]

26. All of Trump's chickens

are going to come home to roost one day. Slowly but surely

[Laura PourMeADrink]

32. Ok behind everyone else..dirt on Biden in

exchange for huge dollars, right?

[HiloHatti]

33. Rachel saying that Barr and the White House were consulted about the Whistleblower

Which is against the law. And that Barr is threatening to prosecute the Whistleblower saying the Law isn’t protecting him/her. This lawlessness is OUTRAGEOUS and we need to take to the streets. Trump, with Barr’s backing, is claiming to be above the law and can’t even be investigated, as claimed to the SDNY as an appeal to turning over his tax returns to the State of New York.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

35. Im 🍑

[GusBob]

34. Im sorry but this is not good news. Hear me out

I certify that I am not a bot lol

1. 95% of Americans dont know what the Ukraine is

2. He got away with it before

3. If it involves defeating Biden the GOP and his
base will regard it as patriotic

4. The media owners are loving this scandal. Trump
means ratings. The journalists might be into the truth but their bosses will cover it up for money

[Laura PourMeADrink]

36. All true. Will take what you say as the floor of my

Expectations

[Rainbow Droid]

40. 5. The GOP has been actively collaborating with Russia for years and they still have power.

[CentralMass]

37. What do think the odds are that "they" get away with this.

The evidence to date is that they can do whatever they want.

[Mr.Bill]

38. This is important, of course,

but the sad thing is if you stood on a street corner tomorrow and stopped 100 people 99 of them couldn't find Ukraine on a map. Even more sad is Trump would be one of the 99.

[yellowcanine]

39. Did Trump try to bribe the Ukrainians to investigate Biden's son?

Sure seems like it. What do you think, Lindsey Graham?

[cstanleytech]

41. Wonder if it involves the Russian sanctions against Russia for its invasion of the Ukraine?

You know like maybe a promise to try and lessen the sanctions to Russia if Russia did Trump a favor or promised to not invade anyone else until after x date?

[RANDYWILDMAN]

42. If it's bulgy Treason, then I love it!!!

Boom, we got him, again!!!
