Here's a list of some of the people who've left their positions since the phone call.

From the Executive Office of the President and the intelligence community

• Director of Oval Office Operations - Madeleine Westerhout
• National Security Advisor - John Bolton
• Senior Director of Strategic Communications and Spokesperson for the National Security Council - Garrett Marquis
• Senior Director for Emerging Technologies of the National Security Council - William Happer
• Deputy National Security Advisor - Charles Kupperman (three days ago)
• White House Cabinet Secretary - Bill McGinley (exception - just says July 2019)
• Director of National Intelligence - Dan Coats
• Principal Deputy Director of National Intelligence - Susan Gordon

I don't mean to suggest any or all of these departures are directly related to the call and the whistleblower complaint, I'm sure they all aren't. But I think we're going to see a lot more departures from these areas over the next few weeks. And this type of turnover continues to be cause for alarm.

1. Putin wants to hollow out our intelligence management apparatus.

2. If all those people came to the whistleblower

with concerns or information, they must be someone high up and trusted.

3. I doubt they did, but it wouldn't surprise me if a substantial number on this list

are amongst the potential witnesses the whistle blower mentions.
