Dossier 2.0: ‘Whistleblower’ Complaint Relies on Soros-Funded ‘Investigative Reporting’ Group that
Breitbart ^ | 9/26/2019 | aaron klein

Posted on 09/27/2019 10:57:54 AM PDT by bitt

Sections of a so-called whistleblower’s complaint alleging President Donald Trump was “using the power of his office to solicit interference from a foreign country” in the 2020 presidential race relies upon a self-described investigative journalism organization bankrolled massively by billionaire activist George Soros.

The complainer admits, “I was not a direct witness to most of the events described.” Still, the so-called whistleblower goes on to allege that Trump pressured Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate Joe Biden and his son, Hunter.

The transcript of the phone call authorized for release by President Trump evidences no such pressure or quid pro quo and shows the request to investigate alleged corruption involving Biden and his family was a small part of the call.

The “whistleblower” concedes that his information is based on secondhand knowledge: “However, I found my colleagues’ accounts of these events to be credible because, in almost all cases, multiple officials recounted fact patterns that were consistent with one another.”

One key section of the so-called whistleblower’s document claims that “multiple U.S. officials told me that Mr. Giuliani had reportedly privately reached out to a variety of other Zelensky advisers, including Chief of Staff Andriy Bohdan and Acting Chairman of the Security Service of Ukraine Ivan Bakanov.”

This was allegedly to follow up on Trump’s call with Zelensky in order to discuss the “cases” mentioned in that call, according to the so-called whistleblower’s narrative. The complainer was clearly referencing Trump’s request for Ukraine to investigate the Biden corruption allegations.

Even though the statement was written in first person – “multiple U.S. officials told me” – it contains a footnote referencing a report by the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP).

That footnote reads:

Sounds like a collaborative effort between Clapper and Brennan.

The “whistleblower” admitted he did not hear anything directly, only from others. How can he then be considered a whistleblower. More like an unreliable troublemaker.

And his “testimony” is on which the Dems are trying to base the impeachment of the president of the US?! Even in a small case, the judge would throw it out instantly because hear-say evidence is not admissible.

I wrote this response yesterday regarding someone in the media being involved in writing this report:

The "whistleblower's" source MUST BE IDENTIFIED AND PROSECUTED, but this complaint smells more like a SOROS PROJECT!! Gloria Toensing stated that there is a FOOTNOTE in the whistleblower complaint that references AN ORGANIZATION FUNDED BY GEORGE SOROS!

I believe the whistleblower laws CLEARLY STATE that one is NOT a whistleblower if his or her alleged complaint involves HEARSAY OR SECOND-HAND INFORMATION!!!

A TREATY between the United States and Ukraine, coordinated by none other than President Bill Clinton himself, ALSO CLEARLY STATES THAT THE UKRAINE MAY ASSIST THE UNITED STATES IN INVESTIGATING CRIMINAL MATTERS!!!

If a past Vice President commits EXTORTION while in office THEN BRAGS ABOUT IT ON VIDEO LATER, his crimes aren't permitted to be investigated if said VP is running for office again? I'd like someone to direct to me ANY law that states multi-million dollar crimes SHOULD NOT be investigated, especially ones where the PERPETRATOR ADMITTED TO IT ON VIDEO.

I watched Levin’s show on Sunday night, with Dan Bongino being interviewed. We believe the dossier having to do with Russia-gate is the first dossier, “Dossier 1.0”. But Bongino has evidence to prove that the same thing, practically verbatim, was in the works a few years before that, for another issue. Sorry I didn’t pay enough attention to recall the circumstances and the time. In any case, it is supposed to be covered in his newest book, “Exonerated”.

So it seems they invent evil actions and save them for a day when they’ll need to carry out a lie.

"Man once surrendering his reason, has no remaining guard against absurdities the most monstrous, and like a ship without rudder, is the sport of every wind. With such persons, gullibility, which they call faith, takes the helm from the hand of reason, and the mind becomes a wreck." --Thomas Jefferson to James Smith, 1822. ME 15:409

"Faith" in the cultish Liberal/Progressive ideology robs the mind of "reason," just as surely as have other "religious" cults.

Is it not about time for this "gullibility" cult to get off the stage of American politics?

When I would put George Soros’ name in any of my comments on Breightbart News, my comments always got blocked. How ironic; Now George Soros is in their headlines and talking about his dirty money being behind the democrat’s / DC establishment’s efforts of getting rid of Trump. Here’s a reality check: the corruption in DC will never fix itself. Per our Founding Fathers, that task will require US citizen’s physical intervention.

The reason thugs like Brennan and Clapper don’t run for office to get power is because no one would vote for them, trust them or donate to them.

It’s why the thugs and goons of the world have to steal power...

“... admits, “I was not a direct witness to most of the events described.””

That means it is hearsay and not admissible.

what follows is an excerpt from the piece that identifies sever donors to Soros funded investigative group. Many of which seem to be US Gummit agencies?? such as USAID & U.S. State Department.

imo, the US gummit has no business funding politically active organizations like this. this is funding our enemies efforts.

imo, the tax deductibility to these resistance groups

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Every page of the OCCRP website features the same bottom section listing the icons of four of the organization’s top funders, including Soros’s Open Society Foundations and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). Indeed, OCCRP provides a hyperlink to the webpage for Soros’s Open Society at the bottom left corner of every page on OCCRP’s own website.

Soros’s Open Society was listed as the number two donor in most of the annual financial records posted on OCCRP’s website starting in 2012. Some years list Soros as the organization’s top donor.

OCCRP advertises its other funders, including Google, the National Endowment for Democracy, the Rockefeller Brothers Fund and the U.S. State Department Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor.

THIS!

Excellent post, the Treaty is the foundation of Trumps request to look into the corruption that Biden and Obama sidetracked shielding Hillary and Pinchuks illegal activities in Iran as well. The Clinton Foundation got a cool $25 Mill from Pinchuk for looking the other way when he was selling materials to Iran that violated the sanctions, and Hillary as the Sec of State ignored it

I will never accept that George Soros is an American. I believe his citizenship was likely arranged. That being said, boot him out of this Country to Russia. Let Putin decide what to do with him.

Yep. Pulled out another trick from the bag. They just don’t quit. I’m sure they have a list of ‘goodies’ they can resort to. The slime bags.

Didn’t the Dem’s meet in Florida right after the election. They gave out a plan book about their methods of obstruction during Trumps presidency. One of the things noted was to have a continual threat of impeachment running. Wish I could recall the name of this plan book.
