President Trump and the Department of Justice of are under fire for attempting to hide information from Congress regarding the whistleblower complaint. Trumps own Inspector General says he respectfully disagrees with the DNIs decision not to report the complaint to Congress, arguing it surrounds the DNIs most significant and important responsibilities. John Flannery, former federal prosecutor, argues the DNI had absolutely no discretion to withhold this information from the House or the Senate." Aired on 09/20/19.

It angers me every single time I see it! I never did serve, but both of my grandfathers, did - my Dad, too, and all of my uncles. I recently went to an event honoring my great uncle who received the silver star for his WWI service, he was on the front and it was a miracle that he survived the battles we heard about. Trump dodged the draft, his salutes are an insult to all who served.
