The Anti-Trump Whistleblower Story Looks Like Another Phony Scandal
PJ Media ^ | 09/21/2019 | Matt Margoils

The so-called whistleblower "scandal" that the media is hyping up every which way has Democrats once again falling over each other to declare another "impeachable offense," despite having virtually no details of the conversation between Trump and Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky. But, like everything else that's been thrown at Trump, this appears to be another phony scandal. The Daily Wire's Ashe Schow reported Saturday that the whistleblower complaint "is nothing more than a rumor reported by someone in the intelligence community." In fact, CNN reported this fact, but buried it in an article:

The whistleblower didn't have direct knowledge of the communications, an official briefed on the matter told CNN. Instead, the whistleblower's concerns came in part from learning information that was not obtained during the course of their work, and those details have played a role in the administration's determination that the complaint didn't fit the reporting requirements under the intelligence whistleblower law, the official said.

Schow noted, "this is yet another anonymous source giving more context on what another anonymous source told a different outlet, but it still calls the entire story into question." The original Washington Post story, despite being on the front page, was vague, relying on “two former U.S. officials familiar with the matter” who were “speaking on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter publicly”  and alleging Trump had made a “promise” to a world leader—which, based on what we know right now, is incorrect.

The Post filled out its story with information about a “standoff” between Acting Director of National Intelligence Joseph Maguire and Congress.

Maybe not but Trump is a risk-taker and this fake whistleblower deal is just like something he would do.

He has a history of promoting himself with fake calls to the media in NYC when he was a developer.

Maybe we'll never know but this one's going to blow up in the democRATS' collective face, with them calling for his impeachment before they even have any facts.

Pouncing on Trump in unison is yet again proof that the democRATS operate off of the DNC's daily talking points and not their own individual intellect. When it comes to attacking Trump, they are always on the same page and use the same words and verbiage. Not a coincidence.

But especially Biden. He took the bait hard and taunted Trump yesterday, saying he would beat Trump like a drum. Nobody but Biden believes that. He'll be out of the race before their primary nomination because the democRATS want him out.

Not only do the democRATS cheat in elections against their opponents, they have no compunction in manipulating the process against their own.

Trump knows nothing nefarious happened in the phone call to the Ukranian president. He will play this out and mock the democRATS for blowing yet another chance to "get" him.

It very well could be, that way they end up with their dream, running a full on communist, instead of a half-assed commie.

To stupid and weak to be an attack on Trump. They’re trying to politicize any prosecution of Dingbat Joe, who has publicly confessed to the crime.
