Bring your theory about what the whistle-blower found out.
What did Trump promise and to who?
Like the game CLUE...
I think Trump promised Putin an elimination of sanctions in exchange for more election meddling.
What do you think was promised, and in exchange for what?

(32,777 posts)It's got to be another person because Browder is a British citizen now, and I doubt he'll even come here as long as this shit is going on. You're right that Pootie wants him, but Chump can't help him though.

(5,812 posts)...the conversation was with Putin and MF45 promised to lift sanctions on Russia for interference in the 2020 election.
My thoughts on this also: If MF45 loses in 2020, he will be GONE on a plane to Russia seeking sanctuary to avoid criminal charges in the US. Betting he leaves Malania and "her son" behind...along with Don, Jr., Eric, and Jarvanka.

(15,682 posts)Sue Gordon? The name is not ringing any bells off the top of my head. Who is she and how does she fit into this scandal?

(32,727 posts)Susan M. Gordon served as Principal Deputy Director of National Intelligence in the Office of the Director of National Intelligence until August 15, 2019. Prior to assuming that role, she was the Deputy Director of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, having assumed the position on January 1, 2015. Wikipedia
Google her name for more info

(15,682 posts)I'm usually pretty up to date. But lately there's been such an onslaught. It's becoming more and more difficult to keep up.

(32,777 posts)Everything you say is true, but why would Pootie care about her? He's got much bigger fish to fry.

(32,727 posts)foreign leader over the phone that she was listening to. May or may not be Vlad.
You're saying that Sue Gordon may very well be the whistleblower.
My mistake - I thought we were speculating on what Chump said or promised.
Thanks for setting me straight.

(16,616 posts)The information about it being someone who worked in the WH and moved back to Intel recently is going to turn out to be bad information. It's someone in Intel, period.

It could have to do with that Otto kid that NK killed

(32,777 posts)Don't forget that the extricated Russian spy has already been given a new ID, and I'm sure Chump won't be told who or where he is now. The timing is such that this could be what got the whistleblower teed off.
CincyDem
(6,390 posts)Putin already knows where the firmer spy is living and under what name. The issue is retaliation for creating an "accident" on US soil. My theory is that Trump informed Putin there would be no consequences for a sudden case of plutonium poisoning in the DC area.
And while I (like all of us) have no information....I'll bet that when all is out we'll learn that the whistle blower was this asset's handler for some period of time.
Now, where's the rest of that aluminum foil roll !!!
