Here is my theory. This “CIA Whistle Blower” was sent in to route out spies within the Trump administration.

Nice theory if it were so. Unfortunately, the complaint was likely written by a liberal lawyer and the complainant is represented by liberal lawyers. It was all cooked up by Schiff and his committee. Note also the timing - just after the whistleblower regs were changed to permit gossip to be the basis of a complaint. The whole thing stinks. Yes, it has the benefit of drawing out a lot of anti-trump subverters and it’s time to fire up the polygraphs.
I think it is a useful mook and a convenient fall guy.
I think they put on a show for partisan idiot and he ate it up.
