The spooks have about as much credibility as Adam Shiff and Nancy Pants.

Deep State Part Two - So Orchestrated it is past contrived.

The CIA is becoming an NGO. It seems almost like that is what they want.

[Old Yeller]

Of course the DemonicRats had a stable full of whistleblowers lined up to parade out in waves, for effect.

Another IC employee who doesn’t like Trump?

Color me shocked !

[Rdct29]

So the first spy isn't working out so they dug up another one. I don't care if they dig up 10 spies, the transcript proves there was no wrongdoing. These people are pathetic. Keep being losers democrat scum.

[databoss]

More insider knowledge about a legitimate and legal conversation!!? Jail these assholes for dereliction of duty.

[philippa]

So this “ whistleblower” is related to the same phone conversation that has already been released and found to be harmless. What happened to the alleged IRS whistleblower? Or was that just as fake?

[adorno]

Having first-hand knowledge of a call that was completely legal, makes no difference. The second-hand knowledge whistleblower was not going to be able to make the case against Trump, so Schiff and company scrambled to find somebody with ‘fird-hand’ knowledge. Unless any one of them can prove wrongdoing with the call, they’ll both blow Schiff’s chances for a coup against Trump.

Second-hand/first-hand: unless they can fabricate and prove something different from what’s in the call transcript, it’s game over for Schiff.

[Cboldt]

I raised this hypothetical early on, when the "defense" was all chasing the "firsthand/secondhand" canard.

If the complaint was firsthand, would that cure the deficiency?

Nope. Regardless of that aspect, the subject matter is out of CIA IG, ICIG, and every other of the 20 some IGs in the federal government. Each is charged with rooting out corruption in their own department or agency. None is tasked with oversight of the president.

Big black eye for CIA, the House. If, and this is a thing that will never happen, if the CIA or the House or the press was honest. None of them is honest. All of them are taking advantage of a gullible public.

[Truth29]

Is it time yet? The Left won’t stop until there is blood in the streets and coup plotters are hanged.

[AppyPappy]

He has first-hand knowledge of something someone heard.

[Howie66]

Whistlesucker?

[Savage Rider]

If this is about the same conversation, the Office of Legal Counsel has already ruled that tattling about the President is not covered under the WB law, so this complaint should never be forwarded to the committee by the IG. If the IG continues to refuse to follow OLC commands, he should be fired.

Attorney Andrew Bakaj tells me his legal team is representing MULTIPLE officials who will be making disclosures to the Intelligence Community Inspector General. He says “No further comment at this time.”

The democrats are pandering to their base. And they are counting on defectors from the GOP to bail on Trump in this process because of who he is. The validity of the accusations are beside the point, they’re designed to fire up their base for 2020 and the defectors need an excuse so impeachment in the house is gravy. And you know they believe they can get some votes from GOP in the senate.

[duckman]

For some reason ‘Wack a mole’ comes to mind.

[PJ-Comix]

Aren’t whistleblowers supposed to blow the whistle about wrong doing in their OWN departments?

[Missouri gal]

The Democrat crime cartel will just keep shooting out fake scandals until something “sticks.” They are desperate because Ukraine is the key to all their dirty money.
We need to make Igor Pasternak (Schiff’s money-man), Ivanna Velonovych (Pelosi’s Ukrainian legal aide), and Chalupa (DNC’s Ukrainian connection) household names.
