The New York Times reported Wednesday that a “whistleblower” at the Department of Homeland Security had alleged that officials “directed agency analysts to downplay the threat of violent white supremacy and of Russian election interference.”
The Times report noted the role of House Intelligence Committee Chair Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) in releasing the complaint. Indeed, the “whistleblower” in this case is represented by attorney Mark Zaid, the same lawyer who represented the so-called “whistleblower” in the impeachment. Zaid also notoriously tweeted in favor of a “coup” against President Donald Trump.
In this case, the “whistleblower” has been identified — as Brian Murphy, a former intelligence official at the department — but the complaint was filed with Schiff’s Intelligence committee rather than the House Committee on Homeland Security.
The complaint alleges that Murphy faced retaliation by the department for a variety of disputes. The first involves testimony going back to 2018 about alleged terrorist threats entering the U.S. through the southern border. Murphy says that former Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen perjured herself before Congress by exaggerating the terrorist influx.
Another dispute involves an argument with Acting Director of US Citizenship and Immigration Ken Cuccinelli over the assessment of conditions in the “Northern Triangle” countries of Central America from which migrant caravans were arriving — though the complaint does not state clearly what the argument is about. The complaint does, however, criticize Cuccinelli for his concerns about “deep state intelligence analysts,” which Murphy says meant targeting officials for political reasons.
The third dispute involves intelligence about Russian efforts to interfere in U.S. elections. The complaint names Kash Patel, then the Acting Deputy Director for the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. Patel has long been targeted by Democrats, ever since he helped Reo. Devin Nunes (R-CA) unravel the outgoing Obama administration’s effort to “unmask” American citizens whose names appeared in foreign intelligence surveillance reports, including Gen. Michael Flynn (Ret.).
The key paragraph:
In mid-May 2020, Mr. [Chad] Wolf instructed Mr.Murphy to cease providing intelligence assessments on the threat of Russian interference in the United States, and instead start reporting on interference activities by China and Iran. Mr. Wolf stated that these instructions specifically originated from White House National Security Advisor Robert O’Brien. Mr. Murphy informed Mr. Wolf he would not comply with these instructions, as doing so would put the country in substantial and specific danger.
Wolf is the current Acting Secretary for the Department of Homeland Security.
Murphy wanted to “disseminate” the information he had about Russian interference. Wolf told him not to, allegedly because it “made the President look bad.” The draft intelligence assessment — which has not been finalized — was later leaked. The complaint does not say who the leaker was, only that it was released to the media by “unknown individuals.” Murphy says that the draft document exaggerates the role of Iran and China and downplays the role of Russia in election interference.
another “whistleblower” wow. SO! in the first impeachment hearings.who was the anonymous “entity” with no name, no face, and the great possibility of no human reality is responsible for the first fake impeachment??. so attorney Mark Zaid, the same lawyer who represented the so-called “whistleblower” in the impeachment is going to represent this clown. What a joke. wonder how much murphy is getting paid. perjury is a nasty situation, does this idiot have any idea of the prison time he may face.
Another Fake hoax on the American people. wonder if pencil dick schiff is taking behind close door depositions?
My wife and I were at a restaurant last night that had CNN on. They were, of course, RAVENOUSLY covering this “story”. Obviously, they love it (imagine trying to eat a meal with CNN on). I had a question, though; how would information about Russia interfering (as they always try to do) make Trump “look bad”? Well, folks like us wouldn’t understand, but those subjected to a constant diet of leftist propaganda, telling them that Trump is a Russian agent, it would make some sense… and those are the ignorant useful idiots this is aimed at.
Schiff, of course, has ZERO credibility. He is a liar of the greatest magnitude and his “mountain of evidence”, which simply vanished, suppressing testimony that totally destroyed the “Russian collusion” narrative and his trampling of due process to promote his desire to impeach Trump for purely political reasons makes him a laughing stock. Anything he is promoting should be discounted out of hand.
Also notable is the attempt to replace BLM/ANTIFA with “white supremacists” in the discussions of the political terrorism visited upon Democrat cities and their residents. We may know little of what is going on with threats across the border (why is this “revelation” only just now coming out?), Russian interference but we SEE what BLM/ANTIFA does on a daily basis and if “white supremacists” are involved at all, it is in response to daily, unrelenting and unsuppressed left wing political terrorism. By no means is “white supremacist” violence a widespread problem… ANYWHERE.
So, after almost four years of looking at Donald Trump thru a microscope, all the dems have on him is the old saw of “Russia, Russia, Russia.
And even that wouldn’t stick unless those dems ignored proper protocol to take the complaint to Schiff’s Intelligence committee rather than the House Committee on Homeland Security.
We know how a job like this works.
Underlings put all the facts on the table and the BOSS sifts thru it to emphasize what he chooses.
Underlings do NOT have the authority to set the agendas.
That a Deep State underling thought he should have that right tells us a lot about how life under dem rulership would suck.
Carpet bombing Trump with duds what is this the 3rd or 4th this week alone?
They hate we are rejecting the communist Critical race theory.
Rejecting project 1619 and other garbage they present.
They also hate the fact pedophiles are being arrested and exploited children rescued by the hundreds hence the attack on Qanon.
Protection of the innocent isnt political.
Schiff just another Liberal Democrat being used by the Democrats and the Globalists its about time he as Investigated
