NYTimes ‘Outs’ Ukraine-Call “Whistleblower” As CIA Officer<\/h1>\n

ZeroHedge.com<\/p>\n

Soon after the Ukraine-gate “whistleblower” complaint was made public, questions about the source’s knowledge and background began to rise,\u00a0as one former CIA officer noted<\/a>\u00a0very specifically:<\/p>\n

The way this complaint was written suggested the author had a lot of help.<\/strong> I know from my work on the House Intel Committee staff that many whistleblowers go directly to the intel oversight committees.\u00a0Did this whistleblower first meet with House Intel committee members?<\/strong><\/p>\n

My view is that\u00a0this whistleblower complaint is too convenient and too perfect to come from a typical whistleblower.<\/strong> Were other IC officers involved? Were outside groups opposed to the president involved?<\/p>\n

This complaint will further damage IC relations with the White House for many years to come<\/strong>\u00a0because IC officers appear to be politicizing presidential phone calls with foreign officials and their access to the president and his activities in the White House.<\/p>\n

Worst of all,\u00a0this IC officer — and probably others — have blatantly crossed the line into policy<\/strong>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And sure enough,\u00a0if The New York Times<\/a>\u00a0is to be believed,\u00a0the complainant is a C.I.A. officer who was detailed to work at the White House at one point<\/strong>, according to three people familiar with his identity.<\/p>\n

The man has\u00a0since returned to the C.I.A.<\/strong>, the people said.<\/p>\n

The NYTimes,<\/a>\u00a0of course, puts its spin on the news, claiming that the whistle-blower’s expertise will likely add to lawmakers’ confidence about the merits of his complaint. However, given the current state of affairs, we suspect it will simply remind a deeply divided nation of the\u00a0bias and prejudice that exists behind the President’s back.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
