Is there anything that can be done to retroactively overturn the amended document which gave the entire incident “legs”?

Nope. It was fabricated for the purposes it was used, by design. Trump will be impeached. The Dems need that to unify their base and are willing to take the hit from independents. The script was written years ago. The movie’s production finished this year. Time for its big release.

An excellent question. Since I’m not a lawyer I feel fully qualified to answer it. Here is what I think:

1. For the House of Representatives there would be no advantage to doing so. The Whistleblower law talks about the notification of a specific case to the Congress. That is a fait accompli at this point. You cannot reverse the fact that Congress has been notified.

2. For the senate, however, the rules must be different. The Senate doesn’t perform an investigation, it hold a trial. Trials have Rules of Evidence. Hearsay is not generally accepted as evidence and I don’t believe it would be in this case. So the Dems will need some solid evidence not just the rantings of some disgruntled CIA analyst. Good luck with that.
