Supreme Court lawyer has predicted that the reported whistleblower complaint made in response to President Donald Trump's discussions with an unnamed foreign leader will likely produce evidence of "gross" abuse of power.
Neal Katyal, who formerly served as acting solicitor general of the U.S., said on Twitter Tuesday that the nascent scandal could turn out to be "huge," given the apparent efforts of the Department of Justice and White House to squash the issue.
The Washington Post first reported the complaint on Tuesday. Citing two former U.S. officials with knowledge of the matter, the newspaper said an anonymous intelligence official reported a conversation between the president and a foreign leader that included a troubling "promise."
House Intelligence Committee Chairman and California Democrat Rep. Adam Schiff said in a statement Wednesday that the Intelligence Community Inspector General Michael Atkinson deemed the complaint "both credible and urgent."
Yeah, this has the potential to be worse than the Russia collusion.. oh wait...
ReplyDeleteIt is not worse than collusion. It IS matter of collusion.
ReplyDeletePresident Trump bet President Putin a box of vanilla "White cookies" (specialty of the White House First Baker) against a bag of "Kremlin Kakes [sic]" that the Mueller report would be a bust.
President Putin maintained that the report in fact was slightly damaging. President Trump felt he was totally exonerated, but in the spirit of diplomacy committed to sending the cookies over to Moscow using an unnamed third country (being reported in the Washington Post as Morocco) to serve as the "back channel."
