Linkage analysis takes sophisticated monitoring, and time to aggregate the traitor networks.

why were the whistleblower forms changed just prior to the Trump impeachment to accommodate hearsay evidence rather than first hand evidence

A delightful twist by the Dums that now allows Trump's team to expose the coup's participants in court. The Page/Strozk/Comey texts turned out to be a non-event because there wasn't a platform to exploit the conspiracy.

Ah'm not able to convince myself the move to accept hearsay wasn't orchestrated by the WH.

#10  Might as well do it since he can't fire Schiff, Nadler, Pelosi, Schumer although it is a crying shame he can't. The ICIG has a lot to answer for in the phonied-up impeachment. For example, why were the whistleblower forms changed just prior to the Trump impeachment to accommodate hearsay evidence rather than first hand evidence?

#9  EXcept that he changed the law somehow to allow second hand hearsay whistleblowing.

#4  If Trump wants to "drain the swamp" why does he appoint so many "swamp dwellers" then? Atkinson was HIS choice.

Atkinson had two choices: Forward the complaint and risk trouble with Trump, or not forward it and risk trouble with the law.

#2  So, we've been hearing for over three years about "cleaning" or "draining the swamp". Maybe the swamp is just SO huge it'll take time, kind of like "where do we start?". Or, are things "kicking in" because it's an election year?
But, I'm not terribly convinced that work on eradicating the swamp rats is proceeding, especially after President Trump hired John Bolton, an appointment which still baffles me even though Bolton is long gone.
We shall see.
