Of course the whistleblower needs to name his or her sources. This person is trying to nullify an entire presidential election.

The whistleblower complaint is much more disturbing than the transcript of the phone call. The public needs to know the truth and very soon.

What turned out to be false?

The transcript confirms the whistle blowers statement, but the complaint had additional details not in the transcript. Don't like that then just listen to Trump and Giuliani's public statements.

I’m not one of them guys. I’m one of them guys who didn’t like the abuse of executive power when Obama was in office.

I’m basically a Goldwater Republican. You know balanced budgets, small government all them things you guys pretend to believe in when your man ain’t President.

Unlike you, my political positions don’t change every time Trump tweets.

Why do I get the feeling that Adam Schiff is, in fact, the whitleblower?

Because you haven't been paying an attention at all, apparently.

Technically, no. If we start "compelling" whistleblowers, they will be less likely to come forward in the future. However, if it is taken seriously, as I expect, I think the WB will be persuaded - and especially since there seem to be multiple sources.

And, of course, you're wrong that the information has been shown to be false.

Probably a combination of confirmation bias and a total lack of understanding of how any of this works.

Amazing alternative reality.

The readout of the call released (not a transcript) correctly BACKED UP the whistleblower's account. This means the rest of their complaint is MORE credible.
