White House invoked executive privilege to redact portions of complaint alleging Tulsi Gabbard restricted an NSA report involving a Trump associate for political reasons
The whistleblower's report is so heavily redacted that it barely makes sense, and some sections hidden for 'executive privilege', and access to it is on a 'need to know' basis, yet the report lacks 'credibility'?
“The restriction was allegedly done for political reasons, not legitimate classification/security reasons.”
perfect description of “intelligence”. its all oppo research ultimately. domestic politics. foreign politics. politics. its just warfare. below physical violence thresholds is its “normal” state. nothing new under the sun, its just the other side doing it at this particular moment. as with the weather, give it a minute and it will change. always does. every. time.
(a) In no case shall information be classified in order to conceal violations of law, inefficiency, or administrative error; to prevent embarrassment to a person, organization, or agency; to restrain competition; or to prevent or delay the release of information that does not require protection in the interest of national security.
answer: only when it benefits or hinders someone on one side or the other politically. its never about “national security”.

This just has to be bigger than redacting reports….if it was only that, the committees would have been briefed……something juicy waiting to be leaked….
I hope this breaks wide open on Monday. The Whistleblower's legal counsel sounds like he's on top of this. Keeping my fingers crossed.

This much effort to bury or otherwise obfuscate means this is about 🇮🇱 and concerns outright treason.
