FORMER CIA OFFICIAL: whistleblower's intelligence complaint (resembles Schiff's tweet)

NYPOST.COM ^ | Sept 26, 2019 | Fred Fleitz, president of the Center for Security Policy

[Liz]

Fred Fleitz served in 2018 as Deputy Asst to the president and to the COS of the NSC, holding ntl-security jobs with the CIA, the DIA, Dept of State, and the House Intelligence Committee staff.

"I wonder how an intelligence officer could file it over something a president said to a foreign leader. How could this be an intelligence matter? It appears likely this so-called whistleblower was pursuing a political agenda."

" I am very familiar with transcripts of presidential phone calls since I edited and processed dozens of them when I worked for the NSC. The declassified complaint appears to be written by a law professor and includes legal references and detailed footnotes. It also has an unusual legalistic reference on how this complaint should be classified."

".....such an extremely polished whistleblowing complaint is unheard of. It looks as if this leaker had outside help, possibly from congressional members or staff.....and was directed to the House Intelligence Committee just after Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), an outspoken opponent of Pres Trump,.......and Schiff's tweet of August 28 thar closely resembles the complaint."

"Also very concerning is that intelligence officers and possibly other federal employees are violating the rules governing presidential phone calls with foreign leaders. The content and transcripts of these calls are highly restricted."

"The whistleblower makes clear he did not listen to a call in question, nor did he read the transcript — he was told about the call by others. If true, intelligence officers have grossly violated the rules as well as the trust placed on them to protect this sensitive information."

"I refuse to believe that the leaking, timing and presentation of this complaint is coincidence. I don’t think the American people will buy this either.

HAT TIP ALBERTA'S CHILD---FROM ANOTHER THREAD: There’s a whole cabal of intelligence officials who now
need “whistleblower protection” because their role as co-conspirators with Adam Schiff and his staff has been exposed.

[Thank You Rush]

Very good - I wondered when someone “in the know” would come forward and comment on that complaint. Looks like it fell into the right person’s lap and maybe, just maybe - some heads will also fall! Others HAVE commented on the appearance of it no doubt coming from a law firm and that was easily seen but to me the important ethical and no doubt illegal issue is WHO passed on what they heard!

[Ancesthntr]

Not to mention (well, OK, I will) the “coincidence” that the ICIG changed the whistle blower form just before this highly scripted report was filed, thereby allowing hearsay to be used as evidence for literally the first time in history.

This is nothing less than outright sedition, and a certain Congressman is in really deep Schiff,

[Openurmind]

18 U.S. Code § 2384. Seditious conspiracy: If two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to levy war against them, or to oppose by force the authority thereof, or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States, or by force to seize, take, or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof, they shall each be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both. (June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 808; July 24, 1956, ch. 678, § 1, 70 Stat. 623; Pub. L. 103–322, title XXXIII, § 330016(1)(N), Sept. 13, 1994, 108 Stat. 2148.)

This is the paragraph that caught my attention:

“ I Wonder how an intelligence officer could file it over something a president said to a foreign leader. How could this be an intelligence matter? It appears likely this so-called whistleblower was pursuing a political agenda.”

Yes, how could this be an intelligence matter? My view: only if you already picked out your favorite Inspector General, the one overseeing the Intelligence Community. The State Department IG apparently wasn’t believed to be trustworthy enough for the job.

Others HAVE commented on the complaint's appearance
<><> easily discerned that it emanated from a law firm, and,
<><> closely resembled the language of a Schiff tweet.

The MOST important ethical and legal issue is WHO at the CIA passed on what they heard.

[Liz]

The thrust of the House's action here is their obsessive determination to substitute THEIR flawed
judgement for the EXPRESS WILL OF 63 MILLION AMERICANS WHO ELECTED TRUMP.

There is no law that the left will not abuse if it suits them.

Simple. Schiff leaked classified info...pull his security clearance...he gone from the intellegence committee.

Adam Schiff: just another Pollard

[AndyJackson]

There’s a whole cabal of intelligence officials who now need “whistleblower protection” because their role as co-conspirators with Adam Schiff and his staff has been exposed.

If they did not anticipate that their roles would become public they are piss poor intelligence officers. Good grief.

[AndyJackson]

their obsessive determination to substitute THEIR flawed judgement for the EXPRESS WILL OF 63 MILLION AMERICANS WHO ELECTED TRUMP.

Enabled by the spineless RINOs who did not anticipate the negative consequence of pissing off those 63 Million to their own formerly cushy positions .

VP Biden Set Up Scenario for Meeting Between Top Ukrainian Officials and His Son’s Company
FRPosted on 9/23/2019, 10:48:00 PM by janetjanet998

John Solomon: Let me add a new fact that I just learned tonight. While talking to US diplomats today overseas in Europe I learned that on April 22, 2014 less than three weeks before the Burisma Holdings announced that Hunter Biden was joining their board, Vice President Joe Biden met with the Prime Minister of Ukraine ......

.......and in that meeting, according to all that I obtained tonight, Joe Biden specifically encouraged the Ukrainians to expand natural gas production with the help of Americans coming to the country.

The VP set up the exact scenario that Hunter Biden just a few weeks later cashed in on.

Biden’s Corruption Problem Powerline ^ | Aug. 2, 2019 | John Hinderaker Posted on 8/3/2019, 9:54:14 AM by libstripper

Joe Biden is being portrayed as the Democrats’ safest potential presidential nominee, despite his obvious flaws as a candidate. But one wonders how Biden’s history of swamp corruption will play if he actually faces the scrutiny of a national run. Biden’s family has gotten wealthy, like those of so many low-paid “public servants”–Tom Daschle and Harry Reid are obvious examples. How does that happen? Politico headlines: “Biden Inc. Over his decades in office, ‘Middle-Class Joe’s’ family fortunes have closely tracked his political career.” It begins: (Excerpt) Read more at powerlineblog.com ...

=============================

Joe Biden’s younger brother James received a series of “unusually generous” bank loans during the 1970s, while the former vice president served on the Senate Banking Committee. Politico reported on Friday that James Biden, who has a history of murky financial dealings, was able to parlay his role as the chief fundraiser for his brother’s 1972 Senate run into the startup capital required to open a nightclub.

The loans were considered “unusually generous” given that the younger Biden was a salesman without any business experience and purportedly had a net worth of less than $10,000 at the outset of the venture in 1973. Another key component of the story, which was widely covered by local media in Delaware and Pennsylvania at the time, is that the loans appeared to draw concerns over influence peddling, as Joe Biden had just been appointed to the Senate Banking Committee.

Here's the James Biden windfall ----- billions awarded for Iraq reconstruction.

CIRCA 2012 Crony capitalism & Joe Biden’s brother
SOURCE https://nypost.com/2012/10/23/crony-capitalism-joe-bidens-brother/
By Charles Gasparino, NY POST, October 23, 2012

James Biden isn’t a big name in the business of residential housing development, so what exactly qualifies him to work at a construction company and share in the winnings of a $1.5 billion project to build affordable homes in Iraq? If you said it has something to do with his last name, the one shared by his older brother Vice President Joe Biden, you wouldn’t be far off. At least that’s the guess of some Wall Street analysts who cover the Marlton, NJ-based company Hill International and think they’ve seen yet another sordid tale of crony capitalism.

Hill has been around for decades; its main business is managing construction projects in the Middle East and here in America. It’s built a good reputation over the years, as has the father-son team who run it, Irv and David Richter. But the bursting of the real-estate bubble took its toll; Hill shares are down 80 percent since 2008. Since 2011, the company has reported losses. Its Middle East business has also been stymied by the Arab Spring uprisings; in Libya alone, Hill is out $60 million in payments that it’s still trying to recover.

But it got some good news not long after its housing subsidiary hired James Biden as an executive vice president in late 2010. Just six months later, Hill won one of its biggest contracts ever, a $1.5 billion deal to build at least 100,000 affordable homes in Iraq. A good deal for Hill, a relative newcomer to building homes — and for James Biden, who as one partner will get a good share of that $1.5 billion.

The deal is contingent on the Iraqi government providing financing, which it has yet to do, but Hill execs tell analysts the money could start flowing by the end of the year. That’s when everyone involved, James Biden included, will start collecting on tens of millions of dollars in profits.

One friend of James Biden’s estimates his net worth at around $7 million, yet he seems to have a remarkable lack of concrete business experience. An attorney who’s done work for him called him a “serial entrepreneur,” but didn’t name the startups he was responsible for.

Hill chief Irv Richter called Biden a “good salesman” and the firm’s Web site describes “40 years of experience dealing with principals in business, political, legal and financial circles across the nation and internationally.”

(James Biden also had a relatively short and somewhat controversial run as a co-owner of a hedge-fund company with Joe’s son Hunter. The company, as it turns out, was marketed by companies controlled by now convicted Ponzi schemer Allen Stanford. Neither Biden was charged, but the fund company is now winding down its operations.)

No, James Biden’s obvious value comes from his connection to the Obama administration. Richter assures me that James’ ties to Joe played no part in landing the plum assignment in Iraq or any of the other government-related jobs Hill has received recently.

Really? Connect these dots: Both the Iraqi government and the Obama State Department played roles in helping Hill win the assignment, Richter concedes. And Joe Biden is President Obama’s point man on Iraq — a country where people expect politicians’ families to be “taken care of.”

Also key is TRAC Development, a South Korean firm that won the master contract for the Iraq work. And — huh! — James Biden and his wife were guests of President Obama and Michelle for last October’s state dinner honoring the president of South Korea, Lee Myung-bak. All one big coincidence?

Well, Richter insists that, while Biden’s name and connections might open doors when government business is on the line, that doesn’t guarantee success. “If he had the name Obama, he would get in the door easier,” Richter joked. During this month’s vice-presidential debate, Joe Biden told Americans to just ignore all that stimulus money that went to administration-connected failures like Solyndra. Crony capitalism, he insisted, hardly exists with Joe Biden and Barack Obama watching the store.

Maybe that’s why the veep, after making that dopey statement, was laughing so much that night.

Joe Biden’s Brother Scored Generous Loans During Banking Committee Tenure

Note Biden in the role he was made for----a big fat joke.

[thinden]

inflation has hit the grifters.

used to be that political trash would rent out the lincoln bedroom for a few grand a nite.

selling influence has escalated to big arms deals (schiff),espionage (hildabeast), national security (hildabeast/kerry/bath house barry).

griftin pol bank fraud has grown from double collateralizing $5,000 lot loans to ripping off the IMF or state department contractor fund for $5-6 Billion a whack.

It wasn’t hard to shine the light on trash like brother roger & the rodham boys, but quid pro joe’s gang has been flying under the radar for decades & would certainly rival the clintonista in graft & greed.

thanx to Liz for the heads up on binden crime family.
