Acting DNI has threatened to resign

The acting Director of National Intelligence threatened to resign over concerns that the White House might attempt to force him to stonewall Congress when he testifies Thursday about an explosive whistleblower complaint about the president, according to current and former U.S. officials familiar with the matter.
The revelation reflects the extraordinary tensions between the White House and the nation’s highest-ranking intelligence official over a matter that has triggered impeachment proceedings against President Trump.
The officials said that Joseph Maguire, who was thrust into the top intelligence post last month, warned the White House that he was not willing to withhold information from Congress, where he is scheduled to testify in open and closed hearings on Thursday.

Sometimes even a Trump stooge is willing to put country over party and do the right thing. Something all the bitchass partisan kunts on here would never do.SFGbob said:

Sad
Anyone know what the whistleblower didn't hear yet? Since he wasn't listening?
This is now dormant -
Good. Resign. Ferret out the deep state.

From the statement by Acting DNI Joseph Maguire:
“At no time have I considered resigning my position since assuming this role on Aug. 16, 2019. I have never quit anything in my life, and I am not going to start now."
Washington Post got it wrong.
Again. -
Bezos is a shitbag liar.

A Trump Administration official denied that he had threatened to resign which was the entire point of the article. Since the unnamed source obviously lied to the reporter they have no obligation to protect that source. Something tells me they won't be releasing that name.
They are liars just like you O'Keefed. -
Nothing is "obvious" about the situation.

Too many of these anonymous sourced stories by the Wapo that later turn out to be complete bullshit. Like with hate crime allegations. The burden of proof is now on the accuser.HHusky said:

Spit it out El Monte, what is it that Trump said that you're now so OUTRAGED over.

Trump said the inmates are running the Democratic asylum, of which HondoFS, GodDamnStupid, HHusky, and CirrhosisoftheBrain are great examples.
Apparently that got CirrhosisoftheBrain’s panties in a wad.
Shocker. -
Here's the video. El Monte it helps if you're not a fucking moron. You really believe that Trump is saying here that Stretch isn't the speaker? Sweet Geezus you've been on a dumbass roll today El Monte.

Great denial and deflection as always. Deranged trump said he no longer acknowledges pelosi as speaker today.

Yeah, he is saying that she has been taken over by the hard left and that she isn't even the speaker any more. AOC is the speaker, or the Squad are the speaker. Seriously El Monte, do you really not understand what he was saying?HoustonHusky said:Trump said the inmates are running the Democratic asylum, of which HondoFS, GodDamnStupid, HHusky, and CirrhosisoftheBrain are great examples.

Trump is saying that instead of working for the country on major issues like she promised she is being led around by the nose by the Sqwad
It isn't that hard to figure out unless your from El Monte -
Your knowledge of imbecility is off the charts. So Pelosi is not the speaker anymore?SFGbob said:
