So, who is this Trump-Ukraine whistleblower? Yes, the
identities of whistleblowers are protected, but we all know pieces about who
these folks are trickles down to the press. This is the Trump White House. The
liberal media hates the president. They will do anything to destroy him, even
outing the identity of the CIA agent. The New York Times reported
that three anonymous sources told them the whistleblower is a member of The
Company, though of course, Langley didn’t comment and the legal team for this
person said such reporting was “dangerous.” This agent was assigned to the
White House (via NYT)
[emphasis mine]:
The
whistle-blower who revealed that President Trump sought foreign help for his
re-election and that the White House sought to cover it up is a C.I.A. officer
who was detailed to work at the White House at one point, according to three
people familiar with his identity.
The
man has since returned to the C.I.A., the people said. Little else is known
about him. His complaint made public Thursday suggested he was an analyst by
training and made clear he was steeped in details of American foreign policy
toward Europe, demonstrating a sophisticated understanding of Ukrainian
politics and at least some knowledge of the law.
The
whistle-blower’s expertise will likely add to lawmakers’ confidence about the
merits of his complaint, and tamp down allegations that he might have
misunderstood what he learned about Mr. Trump. He did not listen
directly to a July call between Mr. Trump and President Volodymyr Zelensky of
Ukrainethat is at the center of the political firestorm over the
president’s mixing of diplomacy with personal political gain.
This complaint is the hill Democrats have decided to die
on concerning impeaching Trump. This whistleblower alleges that President Trump
coerced Ukrainian leaders to open a corruption probe into former Vice President
Joe Biden’s son, Hunter, or risk having military aid withheld. That did not
happen.
In fact, a transcript of the call showed that it was the Ukrainians who
brought up Biden and Trump’s “favor” was merely asking them to help with the
Department of Justice’s investigation into the origins of the Russia collusion
circus. This whistleblower also wasn’t in on the call.
The Trump-Russia
collusion myth, which the Democrats had hoped to find something impeachable,
was already a shoddy reason to engage in this nonsensical crusade to undo the
2016 election. This wild goose chase is even more pathetic. There was nothing
illegal here. There was no quid pro quo. And the president can say whatever he
wants to foreign leaders. It’s not
the job of the intelligence community to snitch on the president.
Now, remember the reporting on the whistleblower story
has since been pretty bad since Day One, with many of the media's sources being
proven wrong when all the documents were made public. This could change too, so
we'll keep you posted.
