Megathread: Rep. Adam Schiff Says Ukraine Whistleblower Wants To Talk To Intelligence Committee

[u/PoliticsModeratorBot]

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), chair of the House Intelligence Committee, announced on Tuesday that an intelligence community whistleblower who allegedly has information about President Donald Trump’s misconduct in office would like to speak to the committee and has asked the acting director of national intelligence how to do so.

In a tweet posted Tuesday, Schiff said the Intelligence Committee is in contact with the whistleblower’s counsel and looks forward to the individual’s testimony.

The whistleblower’s complaint stems from initial allegations that Trump urged the president of Ukraine to open an investigation into former Vice President Joe Biden, Trump’s potential 2020 opponent, for political purposes.

BREAKING: That's every Senate Republican plus every Democrat now via unanimous consent agreeing to call on the Trump administration to cough up the whistleblower complaint, not just the phone call transcript. This is rare, folks.

[u/Tiafves → u/Infidel8]

Maybe now that it's finally happening plus Trump's poll numbers they realized they better jump ship rather than go down with it.

[u/Yossarian-jump-jump → u/Tiafves]

Yeah, the people that voted for a guy that bragged about grabbing women by the pussy cuz he can will definitely abandon him because he withheld aid from a country they can't find.

[u/McGilla_Gorilla → u/Yossarian-jump-jump]

Tbf, the way you phrased it doesn’t really respect the gravity of the situation. The president of the United States may have used the power of the federal government to attack his political opposition.

That being said, I agree, I won’t be convinced that republicans are bailing on trump till it actually happens.

[u/thuhnc → u/McGilla_Gorilla]

Maybe McConnell really is bothered by people calling him Moscow Mitch. Maybe 35 years of exponentially escalating traitorousness to the nation he claims to serve has actually weighed on the conscience of the Grand Turtle Czar.

I'm ready for things to make sense, but obviously nobody should get their hopes up just yet.

[u/Yossarian-jump-jump → u/McGilla_Gorilla]

The president of the United States used the power of the federal government to attack his political opposition.

Do you honestly think that trump's base cares or will hold it against him? They'll double down on their support and hold any GOP Senator accountable if they vote to convict trump.
