Why Are We Calling Ukraine Story Leaker A Whistleblower?

he question begs to be asked: Why is the person who came forward with a story about President Trump and a telephone conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky still being referred to as a whistleblower?

Inspector General of the Intelligence Community, Michael Atkinson, is a Trump appointee. Allegedly he found a reason to go forward with a complaint lodged against President Trump stemming from a conversation with Zelensky in July. The anonymous “whistleblower,” as it turns out, is not, in fact, a whistleblower. The complainant is essentially a gossipmonger. The person admits no direct knowledge of the conversation. Doesn’t that seem to be an important fact in this whole story?

“Why Are We Calling Ukraine Story Leaker A Whistleblower?”

To avoid their name becoming “public”. We can’t reveal the name of a “whistle blower”!

I’m taking a different tack on this. I believe Trump wants this “Whistleblower” label to stir up this whole controversy. The media can’t resist this bait, so it is all over the news. Otherwise, they would have been completely quite about any wrong doing by Biden. There is no downside on this story for Trump. Both Biden and the media will take the hit on this.

Because that is the narrative the rats went with.

It appears to me this person did both

Maybe, but Schiff was the first to talk about it publicly that I know of. Not the media.

Actually, we didn’t know much of anything about it until after the IG testified to the House. By then lots of people could have leaked it.

For the same reason the liberals refer to a homosexual as a gay person. Misnomer of tragic proportions because I never met a homosexual that was happy. They were all miserable human beings who were depressed most of the time. Some to the verge of suicide.
