Like, I get that he can veto it, but putting the impetus to do so on him is free Democrat talking point powder, and that alone is usually enough to keep Republicans voting the party line.

Not very surprising. Way too much outcry from veterans who stood to watch vital funding disappear.

Of course.

Early September: the House Intelligence Committee demands a copy of the whistleblower complaint. ODNI refuses after consulting with Department of Justice.

That's not "suppress", the IG received it, and MacGuire said he would resign if he has to limit his testimony tomorrow.

Heard some red hats today talking about how this was all a big nothing burdger and it will be old news by next week. I'm not very confident they are wrong.

Wouldn't it be ironic if Russia was involved in the whistleblower complaint? They want to ruin our elections again and hate Ukraine.

Yeah, McDig, how is that "suppress"? They just didn't want anyone to see it.

At the end of his impromptu statements with Zelensky sitting next to him, his last comment was that Pelosi wasn’t Speaker of the House anymore. He also brought up Hillary’s emails.

The DOJ specifically advised the ODNI that a whistleblower report **not be shared**, contrary to the rule of law. The department’s own head official was named in at least one conversation related to that whistleblower complaint. If it’s your position that they would have released the complaint as required (something they still have not done) in reasonable time even if none of this blowback has occurred....I mean, okay.

Remember when Trump dodged a legal bullet and got off the hook from colluding with Russia then the very next day went to Ukraine and colluded? Good stuff.

The idiot just can't help himself

Democrats and Republicans alike signaling that the whistleblower report makes it worse.
