Update from the President at the end
HUGE WaPo STORY!
This is NOT satire.
The Washington Post published the scandal du jour today. It seems an anonymous person reported that Trump promised something to some foreign leader and found it ‘troubling’. Two anonymous persons, who are no longer in the administration, reported this blockbuster story to WaPo.
A ‘whistleblower’ within the Trump administration has filed a complaint with Intelligence Community Inspector General Michael Atkinson about a “troubling” promise that the president had allegedly made to an unidentified foreign leader.
The Post doesn’t know what the troubling promise is or who it was made to or who made it. They are clueless as to where or why or when. However, it is causing massive negative press among the Twitter terminators.
Adam Schiff is in on it and wants a copy of the whistleblower complaint immediately. Let’s face it, he likely knows what’s in it.
The Post also writes the Post’s sources are “two former U.S. officials.” In other words, these people are not in the administration and could be John Brennan and Jim Comey as two examples. They could be almost anyone.
SOURCES ARE TWO FORMER OFFICIALS – FORMER
The Washington Post, citing two former U.S. officials familiar with the matter, first reported that the complaint was by an intelligence official troubled by a promise Trump made during communication and interaction with a foreign leader.

The fact that the complaint had been filed by an intelligence official was known, but the subject had been a closely guarded secret, WaPo says.
WaPo wants you to know that it raises questions “about the President’s handling of sensitive information and may further strain his relationship with U.S. spy agencies.” They say this without knowing what it is.
It raises no questions as they claim because they said nothing and those are the facts.
They probably want us to forget about the NY Times’ outrageously dishonest tale by two deceitful authors.
Maybe they were confused with this guy and his troubling promise:
ALONG COMES THE TWITTER SEWER TERMINATORS
These Twitter rats are here to pump up every story to destroy the President.
Of all the nightmare scenarios that could constitute an “urgent, credible” whistleblower complaint from within the intelligence community, a Trump “promise” to a foreign leader has to be among the most alarming. https://t.co/HqCWrijYVr

You may see this Washington Post whistleblower story as just another Trump whatever… but it is unprecedented behavior from a President of the United States. Period. We are seriously compromised as a nation. He must be stopped.

Here’s a reasoned argument from an OCD nutcase:
It remains to be seen precisely how serious this IC whistleblower complaint is. Nevertheless, it’s important to bear in mind that the President of the United States is an ignorant, imbecilic, incompetent, and narcissistic sociopath, and so virtually anything is possible.

Conspiracy here:
No way the foreign leader Trump made promises to was recording the other end of that call right? Na…

What kinds of communications or promises between Trump and a foreign leader would worry someone in the IC?
1) Personal enrichment.
2) A willingness to cede direction and control to a foreign leader
3) Revealing national security info or sources and methods to a foreign leader.— Mieke Eoyang (@MiekeEoyang) September 19, 2019
Another lightweight heard from:
Trump is a threat to America:: his “interaction with a foreign leader included a “promise” that was regarded as so troubling that it prompted the U.S. intelligence community to file a formal whistleblower complaint with the inspector general” https://t.co/zDsYMrS7Rg

PRESIDENT TRUMP RESPONDS
President Trump responded promptly in a tweet:
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!
