Leaker or whistleblower?

The leaker has no firsthand knowledge... that’s how leakers can get tricked into furthering a story the opposite of the one that they hope for.

Say that Team Trump wanted to trick the media into reporting on the Ukraine/Biden scandal.... what would be the best way to get the media to focus on scandals involving the Ukraine?

It’s amazing how fast these fake news, anonymously-sourced hit pieces from the democrat press fall apart. There needs to be a 5-day waiting period on them. (h/t A&G)

“All PDJT was doing here was his Constitutional duty under Article II, Section 3 that requires the President “to take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed[.]””

Oh silly you. Of course Trump needs to be locked up “because” he was following the law. Everyone knows if following the law means a Dim is prosecuted, then that is indeed wrong doing. Oh my goodness.

This meme appears to have been a leak.

Who leaked it?

Who contrived it?

What are their connections to the IC sedition cabal?

“Oh wait, he/she is a probably a Democrat so just an apology is all that’s required.”

Of course what you’re saying is that someone needs to apologize “to” the Dim?

Just because they were not there doesn't mean they don't have access. Trump has had at least two leaks of phone calls with foreign leaders in the past (Australia and Mexico). These calls are recorded, transcribed and part of the Presidential Records. I'm sure there are more than a couple people who have access to these files.

Not that I believe the spin being put on this leak, and I don't have a problem with a POTUS telling another leader to come clean on past corruption. In fact, I expect it.

>>5. The DNC did this to distract from their impending catastrophe of FISA abuse declassification.<<

I believe you hit the nail on the head.

6. It’s Hillary. Pushing Biden off the cliff. To take over his voting block and then you push the clown car off the cliff.

Problem is, can she walk and talk at the same time.

#5. To ensure that the PDJT is a crook trope goes all the way into the 2020 election.

There will be more of these types of “hair on fire” tropes/articles for the next 14 months.

The source said that it is made clear in the complaint itself that the whistleblower did not have direct knowledge of the July phone call between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

So, the "source" is 3rd hand in the deal and the "smoke-blower" is 2nd hand....by the time the papers got it it was 4th hand rumors....
