Feinstein calls on Justice to push for release of Trump whistleblower report
The Hill ^ | September 21, 2019 | MARTY JOHNSON

Posted on 09/21/2019 12:30:30 PM PDT by maggief

Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) is demanding the Trump administration release a whistleblower report that is said to involve President Trump's discussions with a world leader, saying the complaint should be made available to lawmakers immediately.

"If media reports are correct that President Trump delayed military aid appropriated by Congress in order to get Ukraine to investigate a political opponent, it’s difficult not to see that as an abuse of presidential authority, plain and simple," Feinstein said in a statement that was released Saturday.

Feinstein, the top Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee, sent a letter to Attorney General William Barr on Friday requesting that the whistleblower complaint be made available to the "relevant Committees of Congress" as soon as possible.

In the letter, Feinstein noted that the Intelligence Committee Whistleblower Protection Act requires the Director of National Intelligence to send "any whistleblower report from the Inspector General involving 'a serious or flagrant problem, abuse, violation of law or Executive order, or deficiency relating to the funding, administration, or operation of an intelligence activity.'"

Hunter and Joe Biden should be testifying under oath before congressional oversight committees. And where are the calls for a special counsel to look into their Ukraine-related and other activities?https://t.co/i3Bzd93BJv— Mark R. Levin (@marklevinshow) September 21, 2019

There is nothing wrong in the transcript but releasing it would set a bad precedent. So the President is doing the right thing to absorb some personal hits while standing on principle.

Yeah but if a democrat commits a terrible crime in the woods and no one hear’s it, is it still a crime?

Or if they commit it brazenly in a city and almost no one covers it, is it still a crime?

After all of the investigating, digging, blackmailing, fishing, prevaricating and cajoling Mueller and Congress have engaged in to find or invent a case against Trump, when Trump even inquires about an opponent’s misbehavior the left and media will fly into a rage. This Ukraine flap is just a precursor as to how the 2020 campaign will be waged. Hate, outrage and hypocrisy will reach new levels of intensity and insanity.

Feinstein needs to crawl back under the rock she has been hiding under. It’s too soon, She hasn’t waited long enough after the Kavanaugh fiasco and she still has dirt stuck all over her face. Trump has the dirt on her and that’s why she dropped out for awhile and shut up, she might want to reconsider kicking up too much dust too soon.

Do you have a source for that? I want to show the libtards in my family that Princess DiFi is not the saint they think she is.

Plus she finagled all mineral rights under the desert land grab in California for a national park to her husband’s corporation. (Don’t remember all the particulars now, but she stinks like seven day old carp left in the sun.

DiFi knows the ONLY way they can win in 2020 is to hide everything they can about Biden.
They are going to fight tooth and nail to make this all about Trump.

The best defense is an offense, if that doesn’t work, there is always, “l@@K a squirrel”. That’s all I see when it comes to the Democrats weaseling to get out of something. As far as the Republicans are concerned, it seems more like “duhhh, sounds right to me, Trump isn’t a true Republican. duhhh”
