The top intelligence community lawyer whose initial decision to block the Ukraine whistleblower complaint from reaching Congress will resign from his post, a spokesperson for the Office of the Director of National Intelligence said

Jason Klitenic will step down as General Counsel for the Office of the Director of National Intelligence early next month and return to the private sector, the spokesperson added. News of his departure comes as President Donald Trump faces a March 11 deadline to nominate a new Director of National Intelligence or name a new acting official.

In his response, Klitenic acknowledged that he had consulted with DOJ and determined that the matter did not, in fact, rise to the level of urgent concern."In this instance, the ICIG transmitted to the DNI a complaint, that he viewed as an urgent concern, and we reviewed that report immediately upon receipt. Because there were serious questions about whether the complaint met the statutory definition of an"urgent concern" under 50 U.S.C.

Trump’s second term should really get to some deep swamp rats.

Oh well Trump stayed in office. That’s all I care about!

Good!!!

Should be prosecuted.

And not a moment too soon. In fact, he should have been fired.

CNN will find out who the whistle blower is🤔🤔🤔

Thanks for nothing, a-hole.

Cya hope you follow the law in the private sector

👏👏👏

And his optician should be fired as well.

As he should. He postponed accountability and put a target on the whistleblowers back.

Retribution

Hope the door hits you on the way out.

Sounds like a bunch of shoes are about to drop. No wonder Trump is trying to pardon everyone now.

Throw his ass in jail

Are we really that surprised anymore lol.

Lock him up. DC the swamp of resistance.

I wonder if he thinks it was worth it?

And another one bites the dust.

Goodbye and good riddance.

Good riddance

Good.

Bye, Felicia

Oh Lord!!!!
