Long term..... Supreme Court. Short term.... he is an exceptional prosecutor.

I now strongly suspect the whistleblower was bait in a disinfo op run by Gina to trigger stupid people into running off the cliff.
The WB assembles a bunch of hearsays and interpretations of events indicating dirty dealings by 45, that the President was strong arming Ukraine into investigating the Bidens for strong arming Ukraine into stopping investigations of lucrative corruption. Of course, he or she then dangle it in front of Schiff and friends, who are very hungry. Hook, line and sinker. A major counter-offensive is now possible!
The “complaint” is quickly formalized and submitted to ICIG Atkinson, Nancy modifies House rules for Impeachment, the “Whistleblower form” is modified adding a source checkbox for hearsay along with every day actual witnessing of actions. These were all on August 12th, but not exactly occurring in that order.
A few words about the declassified Complaint. Well crafted, well documented with footnotes, it makes a case for trumping 45. Oddly, it also seems to make a case for investigating pre-45 corruption and political interference by detailing the conspiracy theories of some crazy Ukrainians. It also contains various negative spins of Administration actions by faceless officials with the vapors. As an indictment, sure, it’s more plausible than the Steele Dossier but that bar is lower than…
Anyway, Atkinson receives the complaint and investigates finding several named persons corroborating the complaint (“Yeah, I said that.”). On the 14th day deadline he forwards his “credible and urgent concern” conclusion to acting DNI Maguire. Maguire, former head of the NCC, issues no report to the congressional Intel committees on the deadline to do so. After a week, the ICIG sends a memo to Schiff officially announcing the already known.
Schiff writes Maguire demanding details of the complaint. After a few days pass, the ICIG General Counsel writes and explains it was judged not of urgent concern after a consult with the DOJ. Predictably, the complaint is subpoenaed with strong words to Maguire: “you have neither the legal authority nor the discretion to overrule a determination by the IC IG.”
The WP gets the story and it’s “All aboard the ‘Peach Train!” Outlandish theories arise and demands are made. At every presser the President trolls with the truth which somehow obviously proves his guilt.

Subsequent events have kept us near the edge of our seats at this movie. Info and disinfo fill the air, doubt flickers about major players, the counter-offensive seems awesome, our film narrator has gone dark, popcorn overdoses are flooding emergency rooms…
Just as the SC was a useful function of the Plan, this movie seems destined to have its climax in the Senate with a world-wide audience. The Ds are being herded in that direction by Q+’s taunting tweets with Barr and Huber sheepdogging from afar.
Like the final scenes in Atlas, as the Narrative (carefully crafted for many decades) dissolves, the perps and proxies will grow more vicious. But in Ayn’s world, the Marines weren’t on standby.
From the last drops…
Be vigilant. See something. Say something.
Know your surroundings at all times.
Public understanding of events just around the corner.
You have more than you know.
