Breitbart: The White House declassified and released a largely unredacted version Thursday of the “whistleblower” complaint that Democrats are relying on to pursue the impeachment of President Donald Trump over a request that Ukraine investigate alleged corruption related to Hunter Biden, the son of former Vice President Joe Biden.
The document contains no first-hand knowledge of the July 25 phone call between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and relies entirely on leaks by “White House officials.” The “whistleblower” even admits: “I do not know which side initiated the call.”
Some allegations in the complaint seem to be distortions of exaggerations of information in the transcript itself, which the White House released Wednesday. For example, the whistleblower claims that Trump “praised Ukraine’s Prosecutor General, Mr. Yuriy Letsenko.” Trump appears never to have mentioned Letsenko, and his reference to a prosecutor (“I heard you had a prosecutor who was very good and he was shut down”) was a reference to former Ukrainian Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin. Shokin was investigating Burisma Holdings, on whose board Hunter Biden served, at the time Joe Biden demanded he be fired, under threat of withholding $1 billion in American aid.
In addition, the whistleblower goes beyond reporting alleged misconduct and proceeds to build a case against the president’s conduct of foreign relations with Ukraine, relying extensively on reports from the mainstream media, including the New York Times, The Hill, This Week with George Stephanopoulous on ABC News, and other sources.
That repeats a pattern from the “Russia collusion” claim, in which the FBI relied partly on media reports to justify applying for warrants to conduct surveillance on Trump campaign officials.
The document also alleges that the White House sequestered the transcript of the Ukraine phone call (though, given the fact that “Multiple White House officials” were apparently leaking its contents, perhaps there was good reason). read more
It not only comes from a someone telling 2nd/3rd hand versions of the phone call…but they OFFER MEDIA CLIPPINGS (!) as “evidence” (!!!) for the accusations.
IT COULDN’T BE ANY MORE FAKE…unless CNN, MSLSD, NYT, WaPo reported it!!!
Seems to me that guy named “Source” has been Trump’s greatest enemy since before he was even elected.
Now the one named “Whistleblower” seems to be joining in.
The complaint is SO lame, that Adam Schiff is making stuff up (I know, I know, you’re “shocked! SHOCKED!) IN A HEARING about what Trump said:

The “whistle blower” needs to be identified and charged with filing a false report, Prosecuted and imprisoned, and be fired from whatever service he belongs to and lose his pension. Some leniency if he names others in the deep state who are involved.
“I was not a direct witness to most of the events described. However, I found my colleagues’ account of these events to be credible because, in almost all cases, multiple officials recounted fact patterns that were consistent with one another.[TRANSLATION: THEY ALL COORDINATED THEIR LIES.] In addition, a variety of information consistent with these private accounts has been reported publicly.[TRANSLATION: THE LYING LEFTIST MEDIA CUES ITS LIES FROM THE SAME PUPPETEER]“
Adam schiff is so frustrated. The Dems, again, have wasted their time and our money.
They are getting nothing out of this except several black eyes.
Oh, ya mean ‘somebody said something’?
I know who to question about this…
It’s not the official transcript of the call that matters. No, it’s the hearsay opinion of a guy from a faction that has already been exposed as pathological liars.
There was a time when that statement would have been laughed out of any kangaroo court on the planet; where you would not have used the paper that was written on to wipe your ass … because it would have been an insult to your feces
Now, that is par for the course for the party of lawyers
Remember a game we used to play at parties – The Telephone Game? I think this “whistle blower” got stuck at the end of the line and is claiming that everyone who played the game said what she heard at the end.
Bwwaaaahahahahahahaha
If the left weren’t so evil, I’d feel sorry for them!
