The CIA spy inside the White House would seem to have committed a crime of provided high classified information to a source not entitled to receive it. It does not matter whether the “whistleblower” has a security clearance. All classified data is to be distributed only to those with a need to know. Unless the blowers job is spying on the POTUS, he had no need to know. Per the statement embedded in the article, the spy and blower acknowledge that this type of info was distributed in hardcopy only to 3 top level officials. Presumably the “whistleblower” is not the Director of the CIA.
It is my hope that the spy can be located, interrogated, lie-detected, indicted, convicted, and imprisoned. He/she maliciously spread classified information for domestic political purposes.
The blower’s “memo” includes multiple statements that are nothing but subjective political opinion. It at least pretends complete ignorance of the known history of Crowdstrike in Ukraine, which has a direct overlap with Crowdstrike’s claim of finding the same GRU hacking signatures in the DNC server. Ukrainians and U-Americans were clearly involved in the claims in the “Steele Dossier”. The assertion that Trump was interested in investigating Biden only as a political rival is a subjective assumption. For the Biden crime family to be involved in a massive sale of influence operation is a matter of concern that demands investigation.
Alperovitch might have been born in Moscow, and emigrated to the US, but his ethnicity is Ukrainian to the best of my knowledge. Millions of Ukrainians are born and/or live in Russia, and millions of Russians in Ukraine. Claiming that Trump was falsely linking Alperovitch to Ukraine is ignorant moonshine.
Overall, if this is what the Democrats think is impeachable material, they are as delusional as they are cynical.
