The news surrounding the whistleblowers’ complaints about President Donald Trump’s request that Ukraine investigate former Vice President Joe Biden for corruption has gotten even more laughable. The CIA employee who lodged a whistleblower complaint has a “professional relationship with one of the 2020 candidates,” according to the Washington Examiner‘s Byron York.
York was citing a source familiar with last Friday’s impeachment inquiry interview with Inspector General Michael Atkinson. According to a report by ZeroHedge, York’s source said: “The IG said [the whistleblower] worked or had some type of professional relationship with one of the Democratic candidates.”
Now we know why House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) won’t release the transcript! Maybe this whole situation could get more ridiculous, but it’s difficult to see how…
“What [Atkinson] said was that the whistleblower had self-disclosed that he was a registered Democrat and that he had a prior working relationship with a current 2020 Democratic presidential candidate,” said a third person with knowledge of the testimony.
All three sources said Atkinson did not identify the Democratic candidate with whom the whistleblower had a connection. It is unclear what the working or professional relationship between the two was.
In the Aug. 26 letter, Atkinson said that even though there was evidence of possible bias on the whistleblower’s part, “such evidence did not change my determination that the complaint relating to the urgent concern ‘appears credible,’ particularly given the other information the ICIG obtained during its preliminary review.”
Democrats are certain to take that position when Republicans allege that the whistleblower acted out of bias. Indeed, the transcript of Trump’s July 25 call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is a public document, for all to see. One can read it regardless of the whistleblower’s purported bias. –Washington Examiner
In short, a registered Democrat on the CIA payroll went to Adam Schiff’s committee, who referred him to a Democratic operative attorney, who helped him file a whistleblower complaint on a form that was altered to allow second-hand information.
Not only is this whistleblower tied to a democrat running against Trump in 2020, but former State Department official Peter Van Buren told Tucker Carlson on Monday that the second ‘whistleblower’ is simply the source for the original ‘second-hand’ complaint.
President Trump wasted no time in responding via Twitter:

It looks like if it isn’t yet, this impeachment fantasy could soon be over for Democrats.
#1 and #2 that not a whistle you are blowing!

We are about to witness the first ever coup d’etat of an American president and the American Sheeple are going to let it happen.
Every servicemember will forget their oath and let it happen and our republic will be a complete sham instead of mostly a sham with a tiny flicker of hope left.
Thank you Mac.
