AND he was stupid enough to brag about it on video tape. All Trump has to do is replay that video every time Biden opens his mouth. I cannot believe Biden is THAT stupid, but he really is .... walking-into-rakes-on-purpose stupid.

Gregg Jarrett wrote a really good piece (already posted on FR):

The Whistleblower May Not Be A Whistleblower At All
https://thegreggjarrett.com/the-whistleblower-may-not-be-a-whistleblower-at-all/

4. The ICWPA law defines the parameters of an “urgent concern” complaint as an abuse or violation of law “relating to the funding, administration, or operations of an intelligence activity involving classified information, but does not include differences of opinions concerning public policy matters.” The president’s conversation with a foreign leader does not seem to fall under this whistleblower definition.

5. It appears the acting Director of National Intelligence (DNI) agrees with this assessment. His agency’s general counsel wrote a letter stating the complaint did not meet the ICWPA definition because it involved conduct “from someone outside the intel community and did not relate to intelligence activity”, according to a report by Fox News. This is why the DNI refused to forward the complaint to congress.

To put this in plain language, a spy who allegedly spied on the president does not have a legitimate whistleblower complaint against that president under the law. The ICWPA is a mechanism to report alleged misconduct by members within the intelligence community, of which the president is not. Yes, the alphabet soup of intel agencies ultimately report to the president, but that does not make Trump a member of that community and subject to its rules of conduct.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Whoever leaked the President’s conversation needs to be prosecuted/punished, IMO.
