The whistleblower went through all of the proper channels. The fact that Trump wants to smear them in this way goes completely against the basis for the whistleblower law. They’re supposed to be able to raise concerns without the fear of retaliation and the president of the US himself, who is supposed to uphold the law, is retaliating against the whistleblower!
 
And furthermore, the transcript Trump released himself is most of the basis for the impeachment inquiry, not the whistleblower complaint. Even so, the whistleblower complaint matches the transcript!
 
Trump has been spazzing the fuck out since the impeachment inquiry was announced. He's been projecting ever since. LOL this motherfucker is trying to incite violence

Ways And Means Mulling Release Of Trump Tax Whistleblower Complaint

The other whistleblower complaint involving President Trump may be released.

Ways and Means Committee Chair Rep. Richard Neal (D-MA) said on Friday that he has consulted House attorneys about releasing the complaint, which his committee received in July. Bloomberg first reported the remarks on Friday.

The complaint purportedly comes from a federal employee and focuses on allegations of impropriety in the Internal Revenue Service’s mandatory audit of Trump’s tax returns.

Speaker of the House Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) tasked Neal — as well as five other committee heads — last week with providing evidence to the House Judiciary Committee as part of an impeachment inquiry into President Trump.

Neal has sued to obtain six years of Trump’s personal and business tax returns, after Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin refused to comply with a legal demand from the Ways and Means chair for the tax information.

The chair’s mulling whether or not to release the complaint comes after House Intelligence Committee Chair Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) released a whistleblower complaint purportedly documenting Trump’s pressure campaign on the Ukrainian government to manufacture helpful political information.

Rep. Chris Collins To Switch Plea To Guilty In Federal Criminal Case


Rep. Chris Collins (R-NY) will reportedly plead guilty to federal charges of insider trading on Tuesday.


Available information on the criminal trial docket in Southern District of New York show that a “Change of Plea Hearing” has been scheduled for Tuesday at 3 PM EST.

Bloomberg and the New York Times reported on Monday that Collins, a staunch supporter of President Donald Trump and the first congressional lawmaker to endorse his 2016 campaign, will change his plea to guilty during the hearing.

After Collins was arrested and indicted in August 2018, the Republican lawmaker first pleaded not guilty, insisted that he was innocent and called the arrest “the shock of all shocks.”

He temporarily suspended his reelection campaign before returning back to the race (while using campaign donations to pay for his legal fees) and beat Democratic challenger Nate McMurray in November.

This past April, the embattled Republican said he wanted to “see where the court case stands” before deciding whether he wanted to run for reelection again. His trial date was originally set for February 3, 2020.
