I think the whole thing was orchestrated from the start.
The real leaker doesn’t want to be outed so they can stay on the staff and continue to report to Schiff. So they needed a “whistleblower”. They change the rules to allow hearsay. Then the “whistleblower” makes the report based on hearsay.
The leaker stays on the staff and continues spying on Trump.
This is why Trump needs to lock up the “whistleblower” until he/she gives the name of the leaker they can sit in jail.
"Will the whistlebower sign in, please."
The real leaker reports to Former president Obama and Hillary Clinton along with Valerie Jarrett. We all know it. Nobody wants to say it because we know they won’t be prosecuted no matter what they’ve done.
All along, the Dems were going after obstruction based on the Mueller report. Pretty hard to obstruct a false charge. It's called defending oneself.
In the meantime, the Dems were constructing the Whistleblowers complaint.
IIRC, we still don't know when the Whistle Blower "met with", "conspired with" sought advice" from Schiff's people.
Just give us a name and a date.
We know absolutely that BOTH Schiff and the Whistle Blower lied about their meeting BEFORE the complaint was filed.
