Wait, let me get this straight, a CIA whistleblower was so concerned about the White House actions involving a foreign leader and attempts to hide the content of the meeting, that he felt it necessary to alert the head of a House investigative committee about the potential for deep corruption at the very top of government, and you're mad at Schiff?

The dems don’t care about all the truly illegal acts of Schiff, Biden, and the Clintons. They don’t give a damn about the rule of law and are simply consumed by hate.
How many times do you have to be told that these stories are conspiracy theories and been debunked? Yet again and again you keep maintaining the same as truths, just like Trump does. I guess you think, like he does, that if you repeat a lie over and over it will become truth? Or maybe you'll convince yourself? I honestly don't know what kind of thought process this could possibly be.

There's just one problem.

The whistleblower didn't have direct knowledge, and the claims were not accurate.

The question is, did Schiff take part in creating a false whistleblower report.

Do you really want to know the truth? Or do you want to keep believing a conspiracy theory promulgated by Trump?

Because if you want to know the truth, it's there.

https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politic...ling-complaint
WASHINGTON (AP) — The whistleblower who raised concerns about President Donald Trump’s dealings with Ukraine spoke to staffers on the House Intelligence Committee before filing a formal complaint, giving Democrats advance warning of the accusations of wrongdoing that triggered their impeachment inquiry.

The whistleblower, a member of the intelligence community, contacted the committee for guidance on how to report “possible wrongdoing,” according to Patrick Boland, a spokesman for the Intelligence Committee’s chairman, Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif. Boland said that “at no point did the committee review or receive the complaint in advance” and that it is a regular occurrence for whistleblowers to seek guidance from the committee.

“Consistent with the committee’s longstanding procedures, committee staff appropriately advised the whistleblower to contact an inspector general and to seek legal counsel,” Boland said. Other congressional committees follow a similar process.

From the same article:

At one point he went further, suggesting without evidence that Schiff “probably helped write” the complaint. Lawyers for the whistleblower said that wasn’t true, and that neither they nor the whistleblower “has ever met or spoken with Congressman Schiff about this matter.”

“The intelligence community whistle-blower followed the advice of legal counsel from the beginning,” said Andrew Bakaj, the lead counsel for the whistle-blower. “The laws and processes have been followed.”

Schiff said in a tweet that when a whistleblower seeks guidance, staff advises them to obtain a lawyer and go to an inspector general.

And if you can't understand that, I just don't know what to say.

Which claims were inaccurate, the IG and DNI head indicated the complaint was credible so what did you find to be inaccurate.

The IG said is seemed credible, without ever reading the transcript of the call.

All the claims of wrongdoing by the whistleblower were proven false by the transcript.

It's way beyond the point were Schiff can remain on the House Intel Committee.

If Nancy doesn't remove Schiff, the dems are going to have serious problems moving forward with their impeachment effort.
