And Schumer will likely go down with the rest of them.Dems have weaponized their holdovers in the intelligence community.
After all, it was Schumer who said that the intelligence community has 6 ways to Sunday to get back at you.
Welcome to the United States Republic of Bananas .......
I think you nailed it.It's a "don't throw me in that briar patch" rope-a-dope. The Trump-haters think they found dirt on Trump, when it turns out to be a giant disinformation can of worms for Biden.It will be interesting to see if any of the loony libs on this site can respond to this in an intelligent manner. My guess would be NO.

1) How about a link for that claim?1) The person in question does not fit the legal definition of a 'whistleblower' under intel guidelines and so does not have the same protections as a legal whistleblower would.What is 'fake' about it?
Um, it is in the OP.
2) The person in question did not witness the conversation, but is only repeating it, presumably, which makes it hearsay, not "ear witness" testimony, lol.2) We don't know that the whistleblower complaint is limited to one telephone conversation or how he obtained his information. For all we know, he picked it up at the Ukranian Embassy. The ICIG found it credible, and it scared the administration enough for it to disobey the law in turning it over to Congress.
The point is it is hearsay and not admissible as evidence. If some intel dude was eavesdropping on the President that would be a bigger story than whatebver the President may have said to the Ukrainian President.
3) You should pass out tinfoil with this one. It requires me to believe the whistleblower is a Trump plant. You sure you want to go there?3) It is likely ginned up by Trump to indirectly bring attention to Biden family corruption. Trump is known for doing such things and this scandal is likely to destroy the campaign of joe Biden from the unwanted attention to his profiteering.
My own theory is that Trump told the story to some intel guys who then repeated it. In part he is probably trying to cross index leakers, but also he could be going for a twofer distracting the media from a story that Trump really does not want covered and at the same time bring media attention to the Biden family's history of self enrichment.
And Trump has done things like this before.
When he started dating Martha Maples, he called some socialite reporters and pretended to be Trumps publicist and bragged indirectly about how Trump was so good at keeping Martha satisfied. just to get some chatter going about him being a stud.
Donald Trump Denies Posing as Publicist in 1991 Phone Call
Former People Reporter on 1991 'John Miller' Phone Call: It's 'Absolutely' Trump
Don’t be surprised if Trump himself leaked the story about prostitutes defiling a bed Obama once slept in
As someone who has covered Trump on and off for 25 years, I can heartily testify that he's a jerk. When he wanted to look good, he leaked favorable information about himself to the press — sometimes calling as himself and other times disguising his voice as a publicist named John Miller.
When he hooked up with Marla Maples, it wasn't enough for the public to know he was squiring the Georgia Peach around town. He leaked Maples' sexual satisfaction to the New York Post, which ran it under the headline, "Best sex I ever had."
Here's the problem: Trump was the source of the quote, not Maples. This is a guy who was such a monumental cad that he would not only kiss and tell — but then call the newspaper to exaggerate his skills on behalf of his girlfriend.
And apparently I am not the only doofus who thinks Trump may be the ultimate source behind this whistleblower leak.

I don't know about that. Pelosi ready to go the impeachment route which is their goal.
2) Repeating myself, neither you nor I know the provenance of the whistleblower's info. We both know the IG deemed it credible and urgent, forwarded it to the DNI, then informed Congress when he realized the complaint had not been sent to Congress, as was required by law as he understood it. Tossing in words like 'rumor' is unfounded, and intended to be prejudicial.
It's just more of the same, for fake-news media. All they need is second, third or fourth hand rumors and hearsay, that they think might reflect badly on Trump, and then it's off to the races.Um, it is in the OP.
The point is it is hearsay and not admissible as evidence. If some intel dude was eavesdropping on the President that would be a bigger story than whatever the President may have said to the Ukrainian President.
Who needs the WHO, WHAT, WHEN, WHERE, HOW and WHY, of journalism, when the "who" is Trump; they can make up everything else.
