Sitting U.S. senators don't make letters such as this one public unless they feel a paper trail is needed to inform the public.

Not great. Really not great.

This is how Sen. Ron Wyden clues the public into activity that he finds extremely alarming. He does a press release about a letter he sent to the director of the CIA that basically says, 'I want to make sure you saw the classified letter I sent early today.' www.wyden.senate.gov/imo/media/do...

1. He can't tell the public what the letter is about

... BUT he wants to make sure that we all know there IS a letter and it MUST BE important.

2. I'm guessing that it has something to do with this:

Whistleblower puts Tulsi on notice that he will go to Congress himself if her office doesn’t respond by Friday.

Or something else Tulsi-related.

3. Yup. Hope that whistleblower is well hidden/protected.

6. Whoa! Is the whistleblower a government employee?

It doesn't seem to pertain to what's going on in Minneapolis currently.
This dates back to last June....

Screenshots 1 & 2:





Shit's getting real.

4. I'm not sure what it is, but there is something very funky going on here. It smells of Trump and Putin.

5. Also to make sure they don't claim they didn't get it. Good move
