Hollywood loves stories and film titles with <em>seven<\/em> in them. So how about Seven Whistleblowers? It has a nice ring to it. Because a source tells Cockburn that House Democrats trying to impeach Donald Trump have no less than seven intelligence whistleblowers willing to give evidence, or who have already given evidence, about President Trump\u2019s dealings with foreign governments.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Some we know about already. There\u2019s the original whistleblower, the CIA officer at the White House who first reported Trump\u2019s call to the Ukrainian president. Republicans are now pushing to \u2018unmask\u2019 him, though his <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #ccffff; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.realclearinvestigations.com\/articles\/2019\/10\/30\/whistleblower_exposed_close_to_biden_brennan_dnc_oppo_researcher_120996.html\">name is already all over the internet<\/a><\/strong><\/span>. He is, supposedly, a 33-year-old graduate of Yale, a registered Democrat who had worked for both Joe Biden and John Brennan. These facts, so helpful to the White House, are in a \u2018dossier\u2019 circulated on Capitol Hill by the president\u2019s allies. There\u2019s also Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, the senior Ukraine expert on the National Security Council, who <a style=\"color: #ccffff;\" href=\"https:\/\/eu.usatoday.com\/story\/news\/politics\/2019\/10\/30\/who-alexander-vindman-president-donald-trumps-top-ukraine-expert\/4095387002\/\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>came<\/strong><\/span><\/a> to the US from Ukraine \u2014 to Little Odessa in Brooklyn \u2014 as a child aged three. He arrived to give evidence to the House Intelligence Committee wearing his dark blue Army dress uniform and military ribbons. He said that the White House transcript of the call between Trump and Ukraine\u2019s president had important gaps \u2014 and that his attempts to include \u2018crucial words and phrases\u2019 had been <a style=\"color: #ccffff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2019\/10\/29\/us\/politics\/alexander-vindman-trump-ukraine.html\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>rebuffed<\/strong><\/span><\/a>. \u2018I am a patriot and it is my sacred duty and honor to advance and defend our country irrespective of party or politics.\u2019 And there\u2019s\u00a0Tim Morrison, the NSC\u2019s director for European and Russian Affairs, who was one of the small group to have listened to the call. \u00a0He said that Trump\u2019s ambassador to the\u00a0EU, Gordon Sondland, told him that Ukraine wouldn\u2019t get US arms unless it investigated Biden.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">That\u2019s three whistleblowers. What about the other four?\u00a0 Cockburn\u2019s source says that at least one is nothing to do with Ukraine but instead was reporting a call between Trump and the Saudi ruler, Mohammed bin Salman. Specifically, the whistleblower is said to have \u2018concerns\u2019 about what was said on the call about the president\u2019s son-in-law and adviser, Jared Kushner. Kushner himself is known to have a very close relationship with MBS. Cockburn has previously written that Kushner may have been what <em>Cosmo<\/em> would call an \u2018<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #ccffff; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cosmopolitan.com\/sex-love\/a10263944\/things-people-who-over-share-understand\/\">oversharer<\/a><\/strong><\/span>\u2019 when it came to MBS. Unfortunately, it\u2019s claimed that what he was sharing was American secrets: information Kushner had requested from the CIA would (allegedly) be echoed back in US intercepts of calls between members of the Saudi royal family. One source said this was why Kushner <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #ccffff; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/spectator.us\/why-did-jared-kushner-lose-his-security-clearance\/\">lost<\/a><\/strong><\/span> his intelligence clearances for a while.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">According to Cockburn\u2019s source about the seven whistleblowers, there\u2019s more. It is that Kushner (allegedly) gave the green light to MBS to arrest the dissident journalist, Jamal Khashoggi, who was later murdered and dismembered in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul. A second source tells Cockburn that this is true and adds a crucial twist to the story. This source claims that Turkish intelligence obtained an intercept of the call between Kushner and MBS. And President Erdogan used it to get Trump to roll over and pull American troops out of northern Syria before the Turks invaded. Cockburn hears that investigators for the House Intelligence Committee know this whole tale and the identities of some of the people telling it. Whether any of is true is another matter but Adam Schiff certainly seems to be smiling a lot these days.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/spectator.us\/seven-whistleblowers-jared-kushner-bin-salman\/\">Source <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A story that \u2014 if true \u2014 could be deadly for Jared Kushner<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":39262,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-197386","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-Inside_the_White_House_and_Washingtons_Beltway"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/197386","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/39262"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=197386"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/197386\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":197389,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/197386\/revisions\/197389"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=197386"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=197386"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=197386"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
