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.

I thought he was the Trump stooge who was in on the cover up? Btw, is this the same WaPo that claimed Trump made a "promise" that you were talking about?GDS said:https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/acting-director-of-national-intelligence-threatened-to-resign-if-he-couldnt-speak-freely-before-congress/2019/09/25/b1deb71e-dfbf-11e9-be96-6adb81821e90_story.html

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.
