WAS THE “WHISTLEBLOWER” PART OF A PLAN OF THE DEMOCRATS?

Was the “Whistleblower” Part of a Plan?

The press has universally adopted the convention of referring to the person who started the Ukraine frenzy as “the whistleblower,” in part because his identity is unknown. Until we know his name–he reportedly is a CIA employee–I would rather call him “the Democratic Party loyalist.” Now that his complaint has been made public, along with the transcript of President Trump’s innocuous conversation with President Zelensky, and we have had a few days to observe the Democrats’ behavior, I am starting to think the Ukraine matter may have been orchestrated just as fully as the Steele dossier/Russia collusion hoax.

Fred Fleitz, a veteran of the CIA, the DIA, the Department of State and the House Intelligence Committee staff, as well as the National Security Council and the White House, has some interesting observations about the Ukraine complaint in the New York Post:

I am very familiar with transcripts of presidential phone calls since I edited and processed dozens of them when I worked for the NSC. I also know a lot about intelligence whistleblowers from my time with the CIA.

My suspicions grew this morning when I saw the declassified whistleblowing complaint. It appears to be written by a law professor and includes legal references and detailed footnotes. It also has an unusual legalistic reference on how this complaint should be classified.

From my experience, such an extremely polished whistleblowing complaint is unheard of. This document looks as if this leaker had outside help, possibly from congressional members or staff.

Moreover, it looks like more than a coincidence that this complaint surfaced and was directed to the House Intelligence Committee just after Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), an outspoken opponent of President Trump, expressed numerous complaints in August 2019 accusing President Trump of abusing aid to Ukraine to hurt Joe Biden. This includes an August 28 tweet that closely resembled the whistleblowing complaint.
***
Also very concerning to me is how the complaint indicates intelligence officers and possibly other federal employees are violating the rules governing presidential phone calls with foreign leaders.

The content and transcripts of these calls are highly restricted. The whistleblower makes clear in his complaint that he did not listen to a call in question, nor did he read the transcript — he was told about the call by others. If true, intelligence officers have grossly violated the rules as well as the trust placed on them to protect this sensitive information.

We now know that the “whistleblower” had nothing, just as Christopher Steele had nothing. His complaint consists of rumor and hearsay that turned out to be wrong. But, just as it didn’t matter that Steele’s dossier was nonsense, it hasn’t mattered that the “whistleblower’s” complaint was inaccurate, and perhaps fabricated out of whole cloth. It nevertheless serves the Democrats’ purposes.

It seems obvious that the Democrats have been planning for a while to proceed with impeachment against President Trump. I infer this from the fact that almost immediately after Nancy Pelosi announced publicly that House committees would proceed with impeachment inquiries, Democratic politicians of all kinds were sending out emails that recited nearly identical talking points and concluded with the assertion that President Trump must be impeached–not investigated, but impeached. This was not just a Nancy Pelosi operation, it was coordinated by the Democratic Party more broadly.

That coordination may have included the Democratic Party loyalist who made the Ukraine complaint. It may be, as Fred Fleitz suggests, that Democratic committee staff or Democratic lawyers helped him write it. In any event, it seems clear that the Democrats were aware of the complaint and coordinated their strategy to build impeachment proceedings around it.

It seems to me, in short, that we are seeing a replay of the Russia collusion hoax, with the “whistleblower” playing the part of Christopher Steele. He relates hearsay allegations that he may have heard from someone else, or may have simply made up, just as Steele did. The Democrats pretend to believe the whistleblower just as they pretended to believe Steele, even though in both cases, there is clear evidence that the claims against Trump are false.

No matter: the Steele dossier was used as the pretext to fraudulently obtain FISA warrants to spy on the Trump presidential campaign and the Trump team post-election, while the already-refuted Ukraine complaint is nevertheless the pretext for beginning impeachment proceedings.

The purpose of the multiple “inquiries” through which we are about to suffer is not, of course, to learn anything about events in Ukraine. It is, rather, to generate as many headlines as possible from friendly newspapers (i.e., all of them) that pair the words “Trump” and “impeachment.” If the Steele dossier couldn’t stop Trump from being elected in 2016, the Democrats are hopeful that the equally baseless Ukraine complaint will prevent him from being re-elected in 2020.

Of course, my prior comment is based on arrest, fair trial, conviction and penalty...of course.

[liberalh8ter]

Considering Shifty tweeted about it in August (despite saying he found out about it in September), the answer is a resounding “YES”.

RE: John Brennan

—The man has been stripped of his security clearance. Can’t be him.—

From what I’m reading, the whistle blower was one of Brennan’s stooges.

Think I read that on Whatfinger. After checking it was a Limbaugh link on Whatfinger, here ya go....

The Russia hoax , which we should never forget lasted over 2 1/2 years, is the seminal event in American history

Not only did the Democrats and the media get on TV and light 24 seven 365 about this. About there being evidence and proof and so on and so forth

but we had the crescendo of one Bob Mueller showing up and looking like a frail old man had no idea what was in that report

No of course the Democrats and the media think we have short memories

we Americans even we Americans he might vote for a Democrat of which I am not one

But essentially that whole shebang -all of the middle of the night guns drawn both crap raids of Trump associates friends and lawyers

Headlines in bold day in and day out about Trump and treason and being a traitor and he cheated with Russia

And then at the end what do we have?

This man this mythical legend Bob Mueller

Look like he couldn’t even find his shoes

So now the media whatever day try will get absolutely nowhere with the American people

Richard Nixon was never impeached

Bill Clinton was impeached but survive the very difficult hurdle of Senate conviction

he was however convicted on many of these coubts such as perjury and obstruction of justice add lost his law license over these convictions

[liberalh8ter]

Isn’t it mildly concerning that Adam Schiff was running around parroting the EXACT claim made by the whistleblower two weeks before Congress

[outpostinmass2]

It has been known going back to at least May that Rudy was looking into corruption in the Ukraine.

[lodi90]

Don’t stop at DNC. You have to add CIA and press. I am thinking Barr has something. And they want Trump out.

And the GOP. McConnell deflected and punted. No indictation the Senate will pursue Bidengate. The Dems are now free to make a pinata out of POTUS. Again.

The Russia hoax only lasted this long because Mueller and his police state tactics had bipartisan top cover from the GOP. Recall Graham threatening POTUS not to fire Sessions, numerous vouchings to Muellers character, etc., etc.

[jospehm20]

Me too.

[MrChips]

Yes. This is Russiagate 2.0.

[HollyB]

Mueller should have been fired in 2004 when he hacked into the Senate computers - (when they investigating the CIA for torturing terrorists). How did he manage to keep his job after hacking into senate computers?

[MrChips]

Too bad it is typed and not handwritten. We could probably match it to Adam Schiff’s handwriting.

[right way right]

Creating hearsay and false narratives seems to be the only weapon they have.

Then, here comes Hillary!

Bwaahaaahaaaa!

Queen of the daily BS narrative and talking points.

[Mouton]

The dems are doing everything they can do to push this impeachment thing over the finish line. The point is to stall the economy. Notice, anytime any allegation that indicates Trump may be gone, the market tanks. The dems know they cannot beat Trump if the economy stays fine. They cannot get him out of office. In fact, at every public event, the President touts his economy. The dems have nothing to counter it. Any time there is some potential problem, businesses dig in. They delay expansions. They delay adding people. Until the future is secure, they are loathe to take a chance. That is today’s outlook, wait and see. Lastly, if they do get him out, there will be a huge change to tax policies. I really wish this party of dung beetles would be declared an enemy of the state, because they are.

[M Kehoe]

Dare I say 0bama and Jarrett are manipulating this whole hoax.

Maybe in collusion with Cankles?

THIS WAS PROBABLY ORCHESTRATED BY CARVILLE AND STEPHENOPOLIS.

And to suck up all the air inside the beltway so that it makes it harder for POTUS to advance the MAGA agenda. This is sophisticated gaslighting operation by the Democrats.

[Savage Beast]

Of course. It's the same plan they've been pursuing since the 2016 election: nullify the election and remove Trump from office by any means necessary.

Note tagline.

[maxwellsmart_agent]

It’s becoming more and more obvious that he is a democratic shill. With the transcript of the conversation available to the public, Adam Schiff is now demanding other documents to search for something that they can get the President on. They are really just slobs, not concerned with the well being of the citizens of this country, just to take down Trump. I wish I could take back some of the votes I cast for these slobs.

[Boogieman]

He’s a proxy for Brennan, who is a proxy for Obama.
