Coming out about the âwhistleblowerââread, Democratic Party activistâwho triggered impeachment mania, and it does not put the Democrats in a positive light. The New York Times reports that the âwhistleblowerâ has long been working with Congressional Democrats:
The Democratic head of the House Intelligence Committee, Representative Adam B. Schiff of California, learned about the outlines of a C.I.A. officerâs concerns that President Trump had abused his power days before the officer filed a whistle-blower complaint, according to a spokesman and current and former American officials.
A âspokesmanâ? I assume that means a Schiff spokesman, although that isnât clear.
The C.I.A. officer approached a House Intelligence Committee aide with his concerns about Mr. Trump only after he had had a colleague first convey them to the C.I.A.âs top lawyer. Concerned about how that initial avenue for airing his allegations through the C.I.A. was unfolding, the officer then approached the House aide. In both cases, the original accusation was vague.
A striking admission!
The House staff member, following the committeeâs procedures, suggested the officer find a lawyer to advise him and meet with an inspector general, with whom he could file a whistle-blower complaint. The aide shared some of what the officer conveyed to Mr. Schiff.
So a great deal has been going on behind the scenes. The complaint was filed in August, so Schiff had known about it for a month and a half before it became public. This means that the leaders of the Democratic Party had lots of time to coordinate the rollout of the impeachment drama. Which, in turn, explains my observation that within hours after Nancy Pelosi announced the launching of an impeachment inquiry, I was getting emails from Democratic politicians with coordinated talking points, demanding that the president be impeached.

It is wrong that Trump cannot face his accuser, who is allowed to be secret so Trumpâs defense lawyers cannot properly assess whether he has strengths and weaknesses, vulnerabilities, biases and connections (gave to Hillary campaign, furious and wants revenge against Trump for something 10 years ago, his brother worked for Schiff,etc.)
By the way, a âwhistleblowerâ was always supposed to have first hand knowledge, not hearsay. Recently lowered the bar. Now a guy someone heard at a bus stop,heard from a guy at a bar,who knew a guy who knew Trumpâs former butler and has the goods on Trump. But he is totally anonymous.
Someday the phony whistleblower will be revealed at the hearing and say âHi, mom.â and Mad Maxine will say âHi, son.â No bias there.
