Why demand it? All of these “unnamed sources” have no problem finding the media. Why can’t they find Pelosi?
Here’s the plan as I see it. The media is scared that Biden is going down with the info that has been out there for a while on Hunter’s fraud. This leak came about because of that. The Dems need to try to make a Russia 2.0 out of this to take the heat off of Biden.
However, there is a funny coincidence hidden in the reporting to date. John Solomon, (The Hill), reported that Rudy Guiliani was asked by the State Dept. to talk with the Ukrainian top lawyer, which he did, and on 11 Aug he debriefed 2 State Dept. senior officials on his meeting. On 12 Aug. the whistle blower filed his complaint/allegations. Did he/she get tippedoff by State of the debrief and was told to file the complaint?
When the ICIG sent the referral to the DNI it was obvious that it did not fit the IC whistle blower laws because it was not concerning IC community issues. The DNI sent the complaint/allegations to the AG, who also agreed that it did not fit the whistle blower law. The leaker then leaked to Schiff and the WaPo.
It is possible that the whistle blower, even if not still an active employee, may be looking at espionage charges for leaking classified conversations to Schiff and WaPo. It may also be that the leaker did not have authorization to have access to the conversation/transcript. The AG’s involvement is what makes me opine that the leaker is in trouble. Also possible is the ICIG having misread the statute to determine that this non IC community allegation met the criteria of the whistle blower act, (possible dismissal as the IG).
