Americans Have Every Reason To Be Suspicious Of The Whistleblower Complaint
2019-10-03
[THEFEDERALIST] For two years, our political and media elites assured us that a wide-ranging independent counsel investigation of Russia’s efforts to interfere in the 2016 election would reveal that the Trump campaign, and indeed Trump himself, colluded with Moscow to steal the election. The Robert Mueller probe, we were told, would prove it.

Not only did that turn out to be false, but as the investigation dragged on it became clear that the origins of the probe were highly suspicious, implicating senior intelligence officials in the B.O. regime and raising questions about whether the whole thing was a political hit job from the start.

Now those same political and media elites are assuring us that Trump has broken the law and must be removed from office‐not for colluding with Russia, but for pressuring Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to dig up dirt on Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden

#5  As far as I can tell the rules requiring "whistleblowers" to have first hand knowledge of misdeeds by intelligence officers are imbedded in the law that created the status and procedures for whistleblowers, That law cannot be changed without a new law passed by congress and signed by the president. That has not happened. Changing forms does not change the law,

#4  How do we know there actually is a "whistle blower"? What if this is another operation like the dossier and Schiff made it all up with some accomplices?

#3  Ok, so I'll throw it out there and see if it sticks:

Hunter was a morally corrupt cock up and family embarrassment who couldn't hold a regular job so Joe helped him land a Klingon stringer gig.

#2  1. This whistleblower needs to file his complaint in a court of law instead of hiding behind whistleblower rules designed to be abused by nefarious coup-intended shady operators.
2. The complaint is all based on hearsay that would never make it into a court.
3. Shifty rule changes prior to th BS complaint being filed.
4. Brennan's fingers are over this.

#1  In fact, everything about the Ukraine affair thus far has the same stink as the origins of the Russia probe‐the suspicious actions of unelected intelligence community babus bureaucrats, the hysterical proclamations of congressional Democrats, the uniform efforts of the media to distort every aspect of the story in the service of an impeachment narrative. Sound familiar?

EC, are you listening?
