DHS Whistleblower Complaint

[_Icarus]

With all the news being about Trump's contempt for military and audio proving he lied to the American people, sacrificing their lives to help him win reelection, it seems this piece of news has been neglected.

4 Of The Most Explosive Allegations Of Misconduct

Acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf allegedly sought to suppress intelligence information that would make President Trump look bad.

In a damning whistleblower complaint filed Tuesday, a Department of Homeland Security official accused several of the agency’s top leaders of seeking to alter intelligence that would undermine President Donald Trump’s policy objectives.

Brian Murphy, the former head of DHS’s Office of Intelligence and Analysis, alleged in the complaint that department leaders retaliated against him after he pushed back on their requests to alter intelligence. He said he was reassigned last month to a reduced role in the department’s management division.

In light of the complaint, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) has asked Murphy to testify before the committee on Sept. 21.

The complaint “outlines grave and disturbing allegations that senior White House and Department of Homeland Security officials improperly sought to politicize, manipulate, and censor intelligence in order to benefit President Trump politically,” Schiff said in a statement Wednesday. “This puts our nation and its security at grave risk.”

Here are the most startling accusations from the complaint:

1. Then-Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen Lied To Congress About The U.S.-Mexico Border Threat

2. Top Immigration Official Demanded ‘Deep State’ Analysts Be Fired Over Intelligence Reports He Didn’t Like

3. Homeland Security Head Chad Wolf Ordered Murphy To Halt Intelligence Assessments On Russian Interference

4. Wolf And Cuccinelli Directed Murphy To Downplay White Supremacy Threat, Stoke Antifa Fears

I agree that this got lost in the blizzard of news in the past week. I'll be interested in hearing the testimony. During Watergate, everyone talked about the 'smoking gun'. Most of the Trump Presidency seems to be a smoking gun. It just there is so much damn gunpowder in the air, it's difficult to know where to turn.
