.MaddowBlog: Alleged cover-up attempt would make key GOP senator ‘a little upset.'
Not surprisingly, there’s quite a bit to chew on in the newly released complaint from the intelligence community’s whistleblower, but the revelations about an alleged White House cover-up are arguably the most serious. NBC News summarized what the public learned this morning:
Instead, the whistleblower writes, the transcript was loaded into a separate electronic system that is used only for information that is of an “especially sensitive nature.” One White House official described that as an abuse of the secure system because there was nothing “remotely sensitive” on the phone call from a national security perspective, the whistleblower said.
The same whistleblower complaint said there was a “word-for-word transcript” of the call, which was among the records that Trump aides intervened to “lock down.” That, of course, is a thread worth pulling on. Indeed, if there’s a “word-for-word transcript” of the call, when will that be released? How much worse might it make the president look? Why was it hidden? At whose direction?
