I Won’t Trust It’s Complete Unless The Whistleblower Testifies It Is
by tristero
The acting director of national intelligence, under pressure from Congress to release the full complaint of a whistle-blower who touched off the Ukraine impeachment furor, was to have handed over the document to the House Intelligence Committee at 4 p.m., according to a congressional aide.
But Trump, Barr, and Maguire can’t be trusted. Let’s not forget that as damning as it is in this bowdlerized form, the rough summary of the Trump/Ukraine phone call was, in fact, redacted, and in fact is not a verbatim transcript despite the Trump administration lying with a straight face and pretending it was complete and accurate.
The only way we can be certain that the full whistleblower complaint is delivered to Congress is if the whistleblower swears under oath it’s complete.
In other news, Maguire threatened to resign. Resign now, buddy. You deliberately broke the law, probably on orders from on high (or with the conscious thought of currying favor from them).
But now that you were caught, you’re engaged in a truly pathetic attempt to salvage what’s left of your reputation, and you’re desperately trying to take the high, principled road.
Too late, pal. You should have thought of what association with Trump would do for your rep long before you joined the his corrupt administration.
Oh, and don’t slam the door.
