Multiple news outlets reported this week that the complaint involved, at least in part, a phone conversation between Trump and recently elected Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Inspector General Michael K. Atkinson's letter didn't provide Schiff with the details, but some Republicans say they suspect Schiff knew them already and was orchestrating a headline-grabbing story from his perch on the intelligence panel.(NO DOUBT)
Earlier on the day the Atkinson letter arrived, Schiff demanded the Trump administration turn over documents and correspondence related to Trump’s alleged attempts to get Ukraine government officials to investigate Joe Biden and his son Hunter. Included in his list was the transcript of Trump's July 25 call with Zelensky, which news reports say alarmed the whistleblower.

I don't know if there is a thread on this or not I've been out of town but it appears that the whistle blower (which is quite a reach on what the real definition is)is Former DNI Deputy Director Sue Gordon.
Hardly, what I think of when I think of the definition of a whistle blower but than the dems are rather desperate as they show almost 24/7.
Also if you were CIA and were goIng to design the perfect op to keep trying to take out Trump why not use someone with a 25 year CIA track record.Someone impeccable.Someone who could play the female card.Someone who has history with all the top criminal CIA types from 41 to special asst. to the director of the CIA John (I'm a closet muzzie)Brennan.Someone who reveres current director Gina Haspel who has a similar history to Gordon.
Yeah when you think about doing a company op that would keep trying to take down Trump after the Russian collusion BS and the other 25 odd ops already tried or still in play Sue Gordon would be the perfect choice.
George Webb thought so and he's the one who named her the whistle blower.

The whistleblower reportedly went to the IC IG three days after Gordon’s resignation and three days before Maguire took over as acting DNI.

Sue Gordon’s subtle but significant Trump protest
August 9
Mr. President –
I offer this letter as an act of respect & patriotism, not preference. You should have your team.
Godspeed,
Sue

Her decision to memorialize her disappointment in a note is significant. Top government officials often resign voluntarily when the president no longer desires their service, but they generally don’t let it be known that they were forced out. It’s possible this is just Gordon’s personal disappointment boiling over, but you don’t write a note like that unless you’re trying to convey something. And it’s an especially conspicuous decision for a career intelligence officer, a job that is big on deference to authority and where notoriety is seen as something to be avoided.
It’s not difficult to read Gordon’s letter as a warning sign about where she fears the DNI might be headed going forward. ...
