An agent from the FBI’s Washington field office reached out to the whistleblower’s lawyers last month to seek an interview about the substance of the complaint, according to this person, who insisted on anonymity to discuss the request with The Associated Press.

Hmmm, now this is an interesting move. Those lawyers need to be careful, the whistleblower might not be the target, but maybe some one standing in the way is the target.

Has FBI asked with hat in hand, please? Because, we need to see what data you have in order to destroy (hammer on laptop as needed) and obstruct justice. Again. It’s what we do.

“”””””The person said it was clear from the FBI that the whistleblower was not regarded as the target of any investigation but rather a potential witness.”””””

They want to know when Vindman gave the info to Ciaramella and Schiff. The “whistleblower” is more or less a pawn in all this.

Vindman is dirty as hell.

If he’s not the subject of the investigation I fear this another investigation of Trump or Guliani at the behest of Democrat operatives

Interesting. I wonder if the so-called whistleblower got into the act because he was asked to do so as a deflection by who ever is the real target of the investigation.

But I thought we didn’t know the name of the whistleblower! How are they going to interview him?
