I would like to file a whistleblower complaint. With whom, I dont know exactly. But the information I have demands to be heard.
It will document how President Trump has set policy for his own personal gain and how senior White House aides have been in on the scam all along.
Not that it really matters, but my complaint isnt based on hearsay. I have witnessed these actions firsthand. You might wonder how. After all, I dont work in the White House or on Trumps legal team; in fact, Ive never met some of the people involved.
I havent been bugging presidential phone calls or meetings. I likewise dont work at the Internal Revenue Service or for Trumps accounting firm. But Im a direct witness nonetheless, and I have the goods. You know why? Because I, uh, own a TV.
Repeatedly and often in real time, Trump has told me as well as any other members of the public who happened to have left the television on while cooking dinner or jogging on the treadmill that hes been pushing foreign leaders to take actions for his own private benefit.
I first witnessed this in 2016, when, during a live-televised news conference, then-candidate Trump asked Russia, if youre listening, to hack into his political rival Hillary Clintons emails.
