(1,537 posts)And I also read that an unnamed two were planning on giving their deposition to the committees.
The whole idea of a whistleblower law is to protect them from discipline.

(22,670 posts)Tipping point?
tavalon
(27,985 posts)But the day trump dropped the Ukraine call transcript was quite the tipping point.
I'm amused that he is so fixated on the whistleblower because when he released the transcript of his "perfect" call, he was impeached. He is a dead President tweeting and he genuinely is too stupid to realize it.

(12,904 posts)State Department Inspector General convenes congressional committees?
Wheres the Secretary?
Bernardo de La Paz
(49,007 posts)No, the IG does NOT convene congressional committees. Obviously this would be coordinated with the chairs who would have to have been convinced that there is something very important.
And it is staffers, not members of Congress. So there isn't any convening of committees anyway.
Cracklin Charlie
(12,904 posts)Thanks for the clarification.

But then I hope she's on EVERY night!
SergeStorms
(19,202 posts)Maybe I misunderstood her last night, but I thought she said she was starting her book tour to coincide with the release of her book today?
I checked her tour dates and she's in New York until October 3. Hopefully she'll be on tonight and tomorrow, and then Joy after that, probably.

(586 posts)Trump facilitated that deal since he proved to Ukraine that he could not be trusted to help them, not Russia!
I don't know what the new briefing is about but I can't wait to hear about it!
jmbar2
(4,890 posts)By signing a "peace deal" with Russia, they can lift the sanctions on Russia for invading Ukraine and Crimea, while giving them control! Sickening. Sounds like Zelensky was part of this. Bastards.

Payback is a bitch Pompey! You can bet these folks want to talk after all the shenanigans, lies, firings, demotions, pensions denied and more. They are stabbing Pompoushead in the back as he deserves all the stabbings, for sure.

(14,077 posts)"... State Department and Ukraine"
This may be old news but ... from ABCNews:
...
The unusual nature and timing of the briefing during a congressional recess suggests it may be connected to a recent intelligence community whistleblower allegation which describes, in part, the State Departments role in coordinating interactions between Rudy Giuliani, the presidents personal attorney, and Ukrainian officials.

Claritie Pixie
(2,199 posts)That's what I'm leaning towards with everything I've read. Think multiple whistleblowers who want protection.
