I need to not say people’s names when they’ve been out of the news, because here we are with her again. This one, wow, it could legitimately be considered a barn burner, although we can’t see the whole barn yet. It’s not something we could have expected, so now what are they going to *DO* with it? Many thanks to Raw Story:
An explosive whistleblower complaint about National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard is currently “locked in a safe” and remains inaccessible to lawmakers trying to review it, The Wall Street Journal reported Monday. “A cloak-and-dagger mystery reminiscent of a John le Carré novel is swirling around the complaint, which is said to be locked in a safe,” the Journal report reads. “It also implicates another federal agency beyond Gabbard’s, and raises potential claims of executive privilege that may involve the White House, officials said.”
We should put together theories and then post them, to see who is closest *IF* it ever comes out. That’s doubtful. An interactive list of “wild guesses” would be fun. None from me yet. Since it’s about one, possibly two, federal agencies, we can’t speculate about something juicy involving Trump and Epstein. Pity. That would have been a bonus. But seriously, what on earth could be *that* volatile?
Lodged last May with the intelligence community’s inspector general, the complaint’s contents remain unknown — though the Journal reported “a U.S. intelligence official has alleged wrongdoing by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard.” If disclosed, it could cause “grave damage to national security,” one official told the Journal on the condition of anonymity.
Its existence was first made known to lawmakers on the House and Senate intelligence committees last November after the whistleblower’s attorney sent a letter to Gabbard accusing her office of blocking lawmakers’ access to it, a letter reviewed by the Journal and first reported on Monday.
That’s not clear as to whether it was Gabbard specifically, or something the agency did, or something she had someone do – see the hairs I’m splitting there? We don’t know what it’s about. We know it’s “explosive” and could pose a potential issue for “national security”. So, heh, we know a whole lot of nothing. What should we expect from an intelligence agency, right?
“From my experience, it is confounding for [Gabbard’s office] to take weeks – let alone eight months – to transmit a disclosure to Congress,” said Andrew Bakaj, the attorney for the whistleblower, in a statement. Bakaj, who also had also represented the Central Intelligence Agency officer who filed the 2019 whistleblower complaint that led to Trump’s first impeachment, said even he had been unable to access the whistleblower complaint.
A representative of the inspector general who spoke with the Journal on the condition of anonymity said that the complaint had been locked in a safe due to its “exceptionally” explosive contents. “Some complaints involve exceptionally sensitive materials necessitating special handling and storage requirements,” they told the Journal. “This case is one of them.”
That’s a lot of special handling, to take more than 8 months and still not be released to his (her?) attorney, let alone members of Congress. Have they put pressure on the inspector general, too? It bugs me that her office is dragging its feet for so long. Why? We know it’s been filed. We know that one person, other than the whistleblower, has seen it. Otherwise, nada, zip, zilch, nothing. I would also like theories on why she went along with the FBI during their raid in Georgia. How strange!
Friends, I know everyone begs you for money. I promise that among all those asking for spare change, we are the smallest and the hardest-working. We’re a group of old, disabled people, except for one writer in his mid-50s. The rest of us are in our sixties and seventies, and this is a labor of love. All we’re asking for is the chance to keep telling the truth about Trump and help ensure democracy survives. If you can help, please do. Thank you. Ursula
I suspect it’s something that she did. Being that she is like other people in the current regime, is totally unqualified and unfit for her position and with her ties to Russia, I really think it’s something she did. If anyone lower did something they would be drawn and quartered-not covered up.
Huh. Okay. I hadn’t gotten that fair. Thank you for the clarification!
cia is forbidden from operating on us soil except in very specific and limited circumstances involving known foreign agents. that swid they have the ability to spy on pretty much anyone. nsa has the ability to screen all phone calls searching for key words and to record the calls of anyone they want.
Yowza! Well, that’s disturbing. I just read a *dense* book about FDR’s time in the White House and how the CIA got started, but it was 2 inches thick and I don’t remember specifics. Currently reading about a mole in the Soviet Union who was getting information to MI6.After seeing all the shizzle that went on and what he did, well, holy cow was he brave. I could not have done it, but then I didn’t grow up over there and see all the crap and ways the KJB kept people under control, and their treatment. It’s beyond creepy. And it happened in the 1980’s!!
Hasn’t Cruella always been suspected of being a mole/mouthpiece for Russia? I don’t put anything past any of these dastardly traitors.
Oh yes, 110%. She’s been blatantly favoring Russia. I’m not worried *yet*, but I’m definitely concerned, especially after the FBI raided a place down the highway from us which had to do with voting, I think. I’ll have to go poke around for that again. It seems to be getting more relevant as time goes by. And it also seems this is something Trump would have done since he got so pissed about being charged with a crime here. The case was dropped so Trump will never pay for his gangster actions. Plus we now have to be concerned about people being able to vote for midterms. I did a piece on potential actions recently. It’s here https://politizoom.com/clear-present-and-future-danger/ A very astute gentleman pointed out a lot of things that need to be spread far and wide. I’m worried about that for sure. Wow, I babbled lol 🙂
i’m pretty sure the georgia case has not been dropped. see edward snowden’s discussions of all the things nsa is capable of. like turning on yor cell phones camera and watching you without your knowledge. and he and his coworkers were just doing stuff for fun. for hsckibg info try the cuckoo’s egg by post graduate astrophysics student clifford stoll who found himself fighting off an ibcursion by east german hackers all because of a one cent discrepancy in computer time billing.
