The Complaint (click here)
The complaint states this is urgent. There are also some redacted areas in the complaint. Kindly remember when people like Guiliani and Pompeo state they can't cooperate with the US House in the information they seek, there are venues within the committees that allow complete security. There are always venues within the US Government that can accommodate the exchange of classified information. When a Secretary of State won't cooperate with Congress on an urgent Whistleblower Complaint that has to be considered conspiratorial and an even greater danger to the USA.
The cited law (click here) :
(5)
(A)An employee of an element of the intelligence community, an employee assigned or detailed to an element of the intelligence community, or an employee of a contractor to the intelligence community who intends to report to Congress a complaint or information with respect to an urgent concern may report such complaint or information to the Inspector General.
There is an attachment evidently that is classified. I am assuming at this point the transcript of the conversation is the attachment and it has been declassified to accommodate the public's alarm and demands. I might add that committing fraud and crime in plan sight is Trump's style anyway.
Just a note about Guiliani, I think he drank the Trump Koolaid. I do believe he is operating in the Trump universe as are Trump's Cabinet and Acting Cabinet members who cannot sign an Amendment 25 document to remove him from office. There is definitely an alternate reality that the White House exists within, which is a shift into the "Trump Universe of Lies and Deceptions." Basically, Trump has provided a platform for which the lie has become the truth which is as real to people within it as the sincere reality is to everyone else.
The statement from Trump that the procedure of impeachment is a coup is a strong example of disillusion of which others that surround him believe. It is that deranged in the White House. A person of esteem such as Guiliani and Pompeo should be stating this is an impeachment proceeding under standards of USA LAW. But, they aren't, are they?
The business of the Whistleblower begins in the paragraph stating, "In the course of my official duties,..." The Whistleblower state the alarming information to follow is from MULTIPLE OTHER GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS. Yep. Officials is the word. That carries brevity right there. There are more than the Whistleblower involved in the reporting here. That means there is a way of discerning the information in venues where everyone's identity and their statements can be kept a secret unless the Whistleblower names these OFFICIALS within the complaint.
The opening paragraph is just astounding. It is enough to take your breath away, quite frankly. A USA President is using his power to interfere in another country for the sake of information that could re-elect him to office. What is more astounding is that the Secretary of State, Former Director of the CIA and the president's personal attorney Rudy Guiliani are central to this illicit "work interest" of Trump.
I might add the news Putin openly stated Russia would be interfering in the 2020 elections is for the "Audience of One." Putin doesn't want Trump thrown out on his ear before he is re-elected. Putin also didn't count on a federal whistleblower either.
It is probably needless to say that the firing of Comey, the meeting in the Oval Office with the Russians was an open EXHIBIT of the naive state of mind of Trump and his supporters. I mean this with all my heart, those players that day will not be undone by anyone; the USA Constitution will not stand given enough time to undermine it. Obviously, the next part of the USA Consitution to fall is the idea of Whistleblowing. The safeguards of the USA Democracy will be dismantled. Putin can't believe it is taking this long.
