Heresay evidence is not evidence. The transcripts have no crime in them.

Shifty managed to keep the focus off his relationship to his homicidal pal and big bundling donor long enough that Buck isn’t in the news so what does he care if he’s permanently screwed up all the Dems in the House, increased the odds of Trump winning, and by permitting hearsay in a Whistleblower reporting process destroyed any integrity there was in that process.

Makes you wonder if there ever was a real person that was this whistleblower. If Schitf can’t produce a live person that is the whistleblower or is willing to that the fall for being the democrat stooge whistleblower then he/she could be all make up and the complaint was democrat community effort.

Because the whistleblower isn’t a whistleblower

Exactly. The guy lied on the form - didn't reveal the pre-filing discussion with Schiff. Schiff is fishing now and going for obstruction or coverup charges (as Rush pointed out).

The biggest sign that their gamble - that Trump would not release the call - failed BIGLY!

Schiff is preparing for the soon to be news that, the whistleblower got cold feet and therefore, there is no case.

Simple way to back out of the whole phony Ukraine quid-pro-quo case.

Schiff’s got nothing real to take to the full congress for impeachment. He’s looking to save face, and keep the phony whistleblower’s id from being disclosed. Save the whistleblower and save his (Schiff’s) own ass.

So if there is no whistleblower, what can Trump do to demand the identities and charge them with spying? The CIA should be made to turn them over since these 2 assholes were colliding with Shiff and also supporting a DNC candidate.

What if......there were no whistle blower — just a manufactured whistle blower report — written by Schiff and some Dim staffers — a la Steele dossier v2.0.

Whistleblower protections are in place to prevent retaliation or intimidation by supervisors or agencies, by firing someone or passing them over for promotion.

It doesn’t mean he can make things up and then hide behind anonymity, or neglect to safeguard state secrets, or mishandle classified material. It isn’t a get out of jail free card. Most importantly, it doesn’t shield them from criminal prosecution as a result of potential unlawful activity.

He should be worried about that, sounds like it is very much deserved. “Fear for safety” sounds like standard boilerplate BS. Maybe he should be in fear of Democrats, but that’s his problem. Epstein didn’t fare very well.

IMHO what really happened:
1) Schiff or his “staff” received information about the call directly from a Democrat SPY in the WH.
2) He/they contacted a Democrat operative within the CIA, and provided the information TO the “whistleblower”.
3) Per plan, “whistleblower” makes his claim. Oops. They have to involve the ICIG to change the rules to allow hearsay. But since ICIG Atkinson is former chief counsel in the DoJ Anti-Trump Division, he provides the change, but leaves a messy paper trail.
4) Schiff then complains when the DNI does not pass along the complaint he knows all about to his committee. He uses that as a pretext to publicize his gambit.

Whole thing was a plot to get this trash going just like bringing the “Steele Dossier” into the FBI/DoJ via Bruce Ohr. Schiff is desperate to keep his blow-puppet from facing questions, and his own butt out of prison where it belongs. Blow-puppet likely did not sign on to get caught up in a scandal — just to snipe at Trump from cover. Schiff is worried that blow-puppet will sell him out if questioned under oath.

Oh, I give the President plenty of credit and I believe
the tables will be turned soon.

It’s at this stage the left is most desperate
and prone to make a bad decision into an even
worse situation. I pray they don’t but I have
observed them for 50 years and I will not be
unprepared no matter what they do.
