    That is a hell of a lot of speculation, especially since the original
    reporting source is not identified.

    No details from the report, either. A President has the right to communicate
    with anyone as they so please, so this is another 'Tempest in a Teapot"

    No offense to you, @pete311, but this seems weak at best.

    I have lost my mind. If found, please give it a snack and return it?

    Maybe, but if it weren't a big deal then the acting DNI chief shouldn't have held it back from congress. There are two whistleblowers. One for the suspect communication and one for not delivering the complaint to congress per law.

    Obviously we don't know enough about this to even know why someone felt the need to tattle on Trump, BUT two things here.

    1. Given the way Trump haters have behaved since he was elected it is more than likely a bullshit complaint like all the others

    and

    2. Democrats in Congress have brought this on themselves , in the beginning everyone in the Administration was cooperating with their requests, but 2 1/2 years of crying like bitches and turning everything into a fucking Defcon 5 alert Democrats have simply pissed everyone off can no longer find cooperation.

    The IG (hired by Trump mind you) has looked at it and labeled it urgent. When that is done by law it has to be sent to congress. The acting DNI chief has refused.

    You forgot that you told us there will be no further comments....YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT. Use it.
    I may be older than most. I may say things not everybody will like.
    But despite all of that. I will never lower myself to the level of Liars, Haters, Cheats, and Hypocrites.

    It seems as if you went back on the above statement, trusting unverified claims instead.

    Pretty weak, even for you Petey.
