I'm of the feeling that the Prez already knows the identity of the Whistlebloviator and is holding that card in his sleeve till a propitious time.

in the official’s view, the President had clearly committed a criminal act by urging a foreign power to investigate a U.S. person for the purposes of advancing his own reelection bid in 2020.

Wow, the whistleblower is amazing. He/she could even read the President's mind and discern his motives--second-hand.

“”The phrase in the memo that possibly strted the whole fraudulent “impeachment” thing claimed that President Trump “urged” Zelinsky to investigate Biden...””

And I don’t believe the company Burisma was mentioned. I have a copy of the transcript and I sure don’t see that!

According to the memo, the White House official described the contents of the call as “crazy,” “frightening” and “completely lacking in substance related to national security.”

The whistleblower said the official was “visibly shaken by what had transpired and seemed keen to inform a trusted colleague within the U.S. national security apparatus about the call.”

The whistleblower’s summary of the White House official’s account of the call largely comports with the call record released by the White House, though some details are missing.


All lies, we have the actuall call and what this person states is wrong.

I am confused, is this still hear say? The person who wrote the Memo, heard it second hand...

Having read both, the memo reads like someone who did indeed get a fragmentary/gossipy description of the call from someone whose job was NOT to understand such diplomacy, did not understand the subjects, and is of a political persuasion which is justifiably terrified at where that call will rightfully lead.

Not only is the “whistleblower” in serious trouble, but so is the twit who gave him the gossip while knowing it’s presumed secret.

The transcript we’ve seen was clearly a hardcopy.

He was “visibly shaken by what had transpired” because he knew the SHTF if it was discovered what all Biden and Cronies had done.....................

RE: In my opinion, there’s a big difference in “urged” and “should”...

HERE IS WHAT TRUMP ACTUALLY SAID:

“...the other thing, There’s a lot of talk about Biden’s son, that Biden stopped the prosecution and a lot of people want to find out about that, so whatever you can do with the Attorney General would be great. Biden went around bragging that he stopped the prosecution so if you can look into it... It sounds horrible to me.”

*THAT* was the only mention of Biden in the entire conversation.

NOW, compare what was said to what the Whistleblower said in his memo:

” The President urged Zelenskyy to [end page 1] investigate the Bidens and stated that Giuliani would discuss this topic further with Zelenskyy during his trip to Kyiv.”

BTW, if you read CBS’ copy of the memo, I am still scratching my head trying to figure out what the heck is impeachable EVEN IN THE MEMO. Can anyone tell me where in his memo anything amounts to high crimes and misdemeanor?

I think ADAM SCHITT is the "whistleblower"!

The DemonicRATS in Congress, along with ACTIVIST Judges and the Deep State media have set out to CRIMINALIZE TRUMP'S AUTHORITY since the day he took office.

This ILLEGAL COUP ATTEMPT MUST BE STOPPED.

It's the "HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES", not the "HOUSE OF NANCY PELOSI", RIGHT?

The Republicans in the House of REPRESENTATIVES should collectively SUE Nancy Pelosi or make some sort of APPEAL to the Supreme Court to STOP Nancy's ILLEGAL COUP attempt against President Trump!

The memo, dated July 26, is based on a conversation the whistleblower had with an unnamed White House official who listened to the call.

Hearsay from a tainted source with a proven political axe to grind. IG is criminally negligent for deeming this "credible"

Oh sure. This statement alone is proof this so called whistleblower is a stooge!

The CIA spy inside the White House would seem to have committed a crime of provided high classified information to a source not entitled to receive it. It does not matter whether the “whistleblower” has a security clearance. All classified data is to be distributed only to those with a need to know. Unless the blowers job is spying on the POTUS, he had no need to know. Per the statement embedded in the article, the spy and blower acknowledge that this type of info was distributed in hardcopy only to 3 top level officials. Presumably the “whistleblower” is not the Director of the CIA.

It is my hope that the spy can be located, interrogated, lie-detected, indicted, convicted, and imprisoned. He/she maliciously spread classified information for domestic political purposes.

The blower’s “memo” includes multiple statements that are nothing but subjective political opinion. It at least pretends complete ignorance of the known history of Crowdstrike in Ukraine, which has a direct overlap with Crowdstrike’s claim of finding the same GRU hacking signatures in the DNC server. Ukrainians and U-Americans were clearly involved in the claims in the “Steele Dossier”. The assertion that Trump was interested in investigating Biden only as a political rival is a subjective assumption. For the Biden crime family to be involved in a massive sale of influence operation is a matter of concern that demands investigation.

Alperovitch might have been born in Moscow, and emigrated to the US, but his ethnicity is Ukrainian to the best of my knowledge. Millions of Ukrainians are born and/or live in Russia, and millions of Russians in Ukraine. Claiming that Trump was falsely linking Alperovitch to Ukraine is ignorant moonshine.

Overall, if this is what the Democrats think is impeachable material, they are as delusional as they are cynical.

It sounds to me that Trump’s “impeachable” offense was an impromptu request to look into already-circulating rumors that Biden and/or his son might have improperly benefitted from Biden’s official position as the then-Vice-President. If this is a criminal act by Trump, weren’t the Dems’ efforts to work with foreign sources (possibly including Russia/Ukraine/England/Italy/Australia) to find dirt on Trump also criminal?

Read the transcript of the call here. Proves this “whisteblower” to be another clown show without a hint of a shred of a notion of credibility.

There should be a very finite number of individuals who were able to listen to the call. Barr, or some trusted aide, should find the leaker(s) and deal with them pronto.
