WASHINGTON The Democratic head of the House Intelligence Committee, Representative Adam B. Schiff of California, learned about the outlines of a C.I.A. officers concerns that President Trump had abused his power days before the officer filed a whistle-blower complaint, according to a spokesman and current and former American officials.
The early account by the future whistle-blower shows how determined he was to make known his allegations that Mr. Trump asked Ukraines government to interfere on his behalf in the 2020 election. It also explains how Mr. Schiff knew to press for the complaint when the Trump administration initially blocked lawmakers from seeing it.

Hell has frozen over.
must be a lot more coming out and nyslimes is trying to cover their backside...
Looks like the NYT’s figured out they have the 3 stooges on their side and it’s time to cut and run.
Schiff IS the RumorBlower.
Doubtful. They’ll just say that the whistle-blower had good information and Schiff wanted to make sure it was being heard.
So—Why did the NYT rat out Schiff?
I think of it more as a fizzle-blower
fizzle: to fail or end feebly especially after a promising start
Doubtful. Theyll just say that the whistle-blower had good information and Schiff wanted to make sure it was being heard.

That contact by Schiff violates federal law. He should know because his own documents cite the law.
The NYT haven’t figured out anything. They think they’re defending Shiff and the WB here.
Holy cow! Even drudge is covering this. Sort of.o
Feinstein withheld stuff about Kavanaugh until the hearings.
Seems like Dems. have a pattern of playing games.
The NYT havent figured out anything. They think theyre defending Shiff and the WB here.
____________
Then they goofed because it’s hasn’t helped Schiff. Quite the opposite.
Exactly. Who gave the "shut it down" order? This sort of news is usually suppressed.
Maybe the plan is to shuffle the job to Nadler. All the committees are to share this "impeachment inquiry" with each other.
SPIT--- SURE he did. AFTER Schiff called around asking for dirt on Trump. Come on......it's next to impossible
to believe a Deep State insider with six-figure govt job comes on bended knee in obeisance to Schiff for "help"
.....and that "benevolent Schiff helped" him write the complaint.
ASAP---Trump's apparat needs to subpoena Schiff's email, landline records, snail mail, etc, to find out who Schiff has been talking to.
====================================
Schiff knows who's get the dirt. The Intel committee he heads oversees all or part of the following executive branch departments and agencies:
Office of the Director of National Intelligence
Central Intelligence Agency
Defense Intelligence Agency
Department of Defense
Department of Energy
Department of Homeland Security
Department of Justice
Department of State
Department of Treasury
Drug Enforcement Administration
Federal Bureau of Investigation
National Geo-spatial-Intelligence Agency
National Reconnaissance Office
National Security Agency
Office of Naval Intelligence
Twenty-Fifth Air Force
United States Army Intelligence and Security Command
United States Coast Guard Intelligence
Marine Corps Intelligence Activity
The very best thing that could happen is that somehow Schiff has Giuliani sworn in under oath before his committee. Giuliani could testify that his client was under constant assault by the Democrats accused of colluding with foreign governments. His purpose in going to the Ukraine was to investigate the activities of Hunter Biden, Joe Biden and others. Why did a Ukrainian oil power broker with close ties to Russia hire Hunter Biden to a $60,000/ month no show job and why did this same man organize a $2500/plate fund raising dinner for Schiff? Why did Joe Biden brag that he used his office to have a Ukrainian prosecutor fired. Guiliani can accuse Schiff on national TV of corruption and collusion. Were the Democrats constantly accusing Trump to obfuscate their own bad actions? Giuliani should torment these Democrats constantly in the media until they are forced by public opinion to swear him in to testify.
Flashback: Adam Schiff said on MSNBC that "we did not speak directly to the whistleblower. He also acknowledged
"it would be AGAINST THE LAW for the whistleblower to COMMUNICATE with CONGRESS."
AND THIS-----reporters asked Pelosi about her plans to "officially begin" an impeachment inquiry WRT the call.
Pelosi responded that she has not even read the transcript of the call. I havent seen it Pelosi told reporters.
So here we have (A) a whistleblower who filed the complaint about a phone call he never heard, and,
(B) Pelosi starting impeachment over a call she never heard.
Nice work
This is Kavanaug part deux. Nothing original, no substance and a freakin’ media frenzy.
