CNN: Trump attacks whistleblower in now-removed tweetstorm full of rants and conspiracies

[spanone]

(CNN) - President Donald Trump retweeted an attack that included an unsubstantiated name of the intelligence community whistleblower at the heart of the Ukraine scandal as part of a series of rants and conspiratorial posts overnight.

Trump or someone with access to his Twitter account removed the retweet Saturday morning.

Other retweets were also reversed, including pro-Trump and anti-Democrat memes from suspicious-looking Twitter accounts. But his whistleblower-related post was the most noteworthy because nearly every public official involved in the impeachment inquiry agreed that the identity of the original complainant should be protected.

Trump has shared more than 100 posts about the whistleblower since September, almost entirely critical, but until this week he had refrained from sharing any content directly pointing to a person's name.

7. his threads frustrate the hell out of me.........

they are mostly the same....... he lays out an offense, quotes an actual law that was violated, and nothing ever happens. right there on the screen is an actual law he violated. Why is EVERY media outlet not asking the White House about this???????/

Abramson is just screaming into the void.... don't know how he doesn't rip his hair out

9. Thousands of members of the media follow him, and sometimes

I do think they listen...before someone comes along(not you Takket) and says I doubt that like someone has before, you can see them in his followers. I just wish they listened more often. He had a great thread last week, about how if the media doesn't cover the impeachment properly, specifically Pelosi's strategy, they will screw it up.

4. Trump so badly wants to get someone killed

5. this is just another kind of dog whistle....

you tweet some bullshit and then "whoops. my bad, i'll delete that" but the point was to put it out there because now it is already in everyone's consciousness.

6. Twitter needs to delete his account

8. It's a huge forum they give him for free and he abuses it daily....I agree.
