What’s the difference between a whistleblower and a leaker? In today’s America, not much.
The dead giveaway is that he or she references The New York Times as “evidence” for the accusations, when that newspaper has been a recipient of many leaks. And those leaks have frequently been revealed to be either lies or distortions that necessitate retractions, even, ironically, when the newspaper has been awarded Pulitzer Prizes.
On top of everything, the “whistleblower” admits in his letter: “I was not a direct witness to most of the events described.” So, what was he? (Or she? Or zhe?) Sounds like a leaker to me! And leakers, as we all know, tend to be biased. That’s why they leak.
During the House Intelligence Committee hearing Sept. 26, acting Director of National Intelligence Joseph Maguire testified he “didn’t know” if the whistleblower was biased. This was the correct legal response but, as they say, if it walks like a duck...
What’s really going on here? The real impetus (besides the obvious Trump Derangement Syndrome that has been going on for years now) for Impeachment 3.2 is hiding in plain sight in the transcription of the phone call.
Trump’s reason: CrowdStrike—a California cybersecurity firm co-founded by an alleged Putin enemy—was knee-deep in the whole Russia collusion fabrication. It was CrowdStrike that investigated, on behalf of the FBI, the hacking of the Democratic National Committee’s server during the 2016 election and declared it to have been done by Russia. James Comey’s FBI never investigated that itself.
The Ukrainians seem to know something. Trump wanted their help. Given what has occurred—the complete evisceration of the bogus Russia collusion probe and its provenance under investigation—as chief of our executive branch, he has every right to ask them.
Of course, that’s making the Democrats crazy—they stand to lose big time, and they know it. The president has often said he would never allow something like this probe to happen to another U.S. president again. He seems to be serious about that. Better impeach him before he finds out.
Well, they seem to be using them now. A war is heating up, with impeachment as only the stalking horse for a change to the character of America itself. We must all pay close attention to save the Republic.
