Fmr. NSA Inspector General On Whistleblower And President Donald Trump |...

So it's clear; None of the IG's decision is reviewable.  That makes sense because a "matter of urgent concern" with regard to the nations security, must be acted upon quickly, in order to minimize; if possible, the harm that might be done.  Trump is allowing the nation to be placed at ever increasing risk by stalling.  This is because, in the intelligence world,  things do not happen in a vacuum.  There are other people involved and they may act in other ways that could be harmful to us, if they are given time it is almost assured that they will.  "Urgent" means that swift action is needed.

The law says that the complaint, if the I.G. accepts it as valid, "SHALL"  turn it over to the intelligence committee. The matter is not subject to judicial review, the Justice Department has no cause of action or standing in the matter.  Barr has illegally inserted himself and the White House in the matter.

These duties of the I.G. to submit this material to the Intelligence Committee is "not reviewable by any court", is the way the statue reads.  Barr is in violation of the law by getting involved in this process in any way, shape or form. As a lawbreaker interfering with Congressional process, he needs to be arrested and held to be tried for his crime.

Isn't this what was done with Trump's tax returns?  Trump's appointees are all defending Trump, when they were appointed to defend the country.  Moscow Mitch and the Republicans are tearing America down.  There's no chance that Trump can make America great again, he's past the point where he could have done anything but destroy it.  Apparently his followers think that Putin is a democratic leader of a lawful Republic.  They don't seem to understand that it's a long way from mouthing words to obtaining the required results.

Why Whistleblower Complaint Could Be 'Significant' | Morning Joe | MSNBC

If I recall, on a previous Rachel Maddow show, she reported that a foreign government was seeking to have the U.S. return to them, some persons who had fled to the U.S. seeking asylum, in exchange for having provided us with valuable intelligence.  Trump seemed to be okay with the idea, or was entertaining it, until there appeared reporting of it. 

Of course, as sensitive as intelligence matters are, with literally hundreds of readers and other agents studying such matters ad nauseum, even a little release of intel can out people working for us.  Trump is so "blind" to intelligence work and how it's done and why it matters, he's prone to carelessly out any agent or operation just to prove some political point. I, sincerely doubt that any U.S. agent or asset has gotten much sleep while Trump continues his fullisade of scattershot tweets.

But... What if the President was agreeing to hand over a U.S. intelligence asset that some foreigner wanted?  We do have people who we've granted asylum because their valuable intelligence has made them a target of a foreign government.  The proper Congressional oversight committee should certainly have such a matter to review.

If I had to guess I'd say that Kamala Harris is being hurt by the fact that she was a prosecutor, the law hasn't given a very good account of itself over the past few decades.  With Black prison populations and things like "Hobby Lobby" and "Corporate Personhood" it just gives the whole Judiciary and law enforcement an undesirable taint.  Not to mention things like Trayvon Martin and Black Lives Matter, prosecutors just don't have that old "Jack Web"/"Perry Mason" /"Dragnet" type feel that matters of law and enforcement once had; one kinda doubts that "Brown Vs. would have the same result, at law, today.  Warren has that comforting "school mom" aura we all grew up with and learned to respect because of it's honesty and genuine concern for us. 

Car Smashes Into Lobby of Trump Plaza in New York

Apparently this was the result of restrictive parking laws, there were no parked cars to block errant, out of control cars from leaving the street and mounting the sidewalk.  Curbs, only a few inches tall won't do the job of parked cars which protect pedestrians and property from motor vehicle accidents.  When parking is removed stanchions must be put in place to protect sidewalks from vehicular encroachments.

Trump Threatens War with Iran on Saudi Arabia’s Behalf: A Closer Look



The reason talk show hosts and comedians can give the stark unvarnished truth is because, they don't need to maintain access to officials as sources for their reports, as reporters must. And, while they have greater license with the truth, if they stick to the truth their work has much more impact than it would if they just made things up.  Of course, there's so much wrong with this administration, they don't have to make anything up, the truth is just too startling, if you didn't hear it in the news first you would not believe it.

The JFK Files : The Murder of a President - The Fifth Estate


As far as I have been able to discover, the sheriff is claimed to have entered the schoolbook depository 90 seconds after the first shot is fired.  He says he saw Oswald sitting in the back of the second floor breakroom with a soda and sandwich. There were also two girls who were on the third floor near the stairs, talking, they were there before, during and for a short time after the shots were fired, thus no one could have exited the sixth floor and would have been trapped there, if they had fired from there.  

Also, the perch they tried to sell us, was actually behind a tree which partially obscured the target area.  So that was not actually a good location for a sniper to operate from. So, as far as a coup having taken place, we now have 911, where the 25 billion dollar "Iraq reconstruction fund" of the U.N., paid for and managed by one Donald Rumsfeld and his fellow PNAC members, disappeared with out a trace.  It seems that a weak and compliant President is all these new masters need to keep their master plan unfolding. Well, that's my working "conspiracy theory".

The End of Trump? - The Fifth Estate



It would be one thing if all of these investigations were just accusations without any good evidence, for example; mere allegations and/or testimony by proclaimed or suspected partisans.  But that's not the case, the evidence comes from people who vote on both sides of the "aisle" and much of it is documented.  Perjury, lies, filing false documents, suborning perjury, emoluments violations, on and on.  All serious crimes and even damaging U.S. foreign relations, siding with dictators against American institutions and advocating to destroy the foundations of democracy in order to assume unfettered power himself.  History seems to say that: if Congress doesn't act to assert it's Constitutional powers, there will arise a crisis that may only be reversed by the shedding of blood, as history shows has happened time and again down the corridors of time.
