"Give me a break!" tweeted whistleblower lawyer Mark Zaid. "Bias? Seriously?"
Now, however, there is word of more evidence of possible bias on the whistleblower's part. Under questioning from Republicans during last Friday's impeachment inquiry interview with Atkinson, the inspector general revealed that the whistleblower's possible bias was not that he was simply a registered Democrat. It was that he had a significant tie to one of the Democratic presidential candidates currently vying to challenge President Trump in next year's election.
"The IG said [the whistleblower] worked or had some type of professional relationship with one of the Democratic candidates," said one person with knowledge of what was said.
"The IG said the whistleblower had a professional relationship with one of the 2020 candidates," said another person with knowledge of what was said.

Wow.
How do they know all this and NOT seem to know who it was?
More of the c-word that Democrats never want to attribute to themselves. (That’s collusion, by the way).
Just playing the odds because most of the deep state, and even just within the CIA, have "professional relationships" to the (D) party?
Thinking the same thing.
These two whistle blowers are claiming second hand information on a call that the President has released the transcript. At this point who cares about the whistle blower? We have read the transcript and it doesn’t back-up the whistle blower’s claim. The only reason that they are claiming to be whistle blowers is for job protection. Or they are covering up crimes.
All of these Dem. Senators running against Trump should have to sit out any impeachment vote. Total conflict of interest if you can vote your competitor out of office.
It seems this whole WB name being kept secret is a trap. The DS hope someone in the Trump administration will leak the name and that becomes the new basis of “impeachment inquiry.”
No they’ll leak it and blame Trump!
and of course there was political bias - and extreme political bias at that. No one short of an extreme partisan would compile a 9 FREAKING PAGE addendum to buttress their second hand complaint.
They are playing us for fools. BUT we, here, can certainly figure things out.
I care because they didn’t follow whistle blower protocol and should be locked up for leaking classified info.
And they should sit in jail until they give up the name of the person who leaked to them.

There are no secrets in Washington. I am sure there are a number of people who know the identity but, at this point the possibility of exposure is more beneficial than actually reveling names.
