The CIA whistleblower apparently was put in contact with Schiff or one of his aides BEFORE he filed his report.
From the website of the office of the DNI,"How do I report"
Making a Protected Disclosure may be as informal as a conversation with your direct supervisor to a formal submission to an IG Hotline, or even a disclosure to an intelligence committee of Congress.
1. Sorry, but Adam Schiff is not an "intelligence committee." Even worse, Schiff never told the actual intelligence committee he chairs that this guy had come to him. The reason the whole committee should have been informed is to avoid partisanship. Schiff, by dealing with the whistle blower without telling the other members of the intelligence committee what was going on, has stepped outside the rules for whistleblowers. Because the whistleblower report was done in collaboration with Adam Schiff, it is not a non-partisan complaint as should have been done.
The report is instead something that Adam Schiff and his D lawyer and the CIA guy collaborated on instead of something the whistleblower wrote himself.
2. Consider that Schiff didn't just accept a submission from the so-called whistleblower----he told the CIA person that his submission was too "vague". Basically
Schiff coached the CIA guy on how to write the complaint, and then he referred him to a D party lawyer who basically wrote the complaint himself so it would meet Schiff's needs. So basically Schiff and another partisan D helped write the report that Schiff will now review.
Thats tantamount to a kangaroo court.....
Schiff is going to be judging Trump on the basis of a complaint that Schiff himself helped write.
------------
IMHO, this whole thing is now tainted.
The whistle blower is no longer a whistleblower....he has been revealed as just another D partisan hack who ignored the rules for being a whistleblower and instead leaked confidential information to Adam Schiff in an attempt to discredit Trump. Even worse, he then worked jointly on his report with Adam Schiff and a D party lawyer, but pretended he had wrote the report himself when he turned it into the DNI.
No doubt the CIA guy had to sign a form swearing that he had written the report he submitted and that he had kept the information secret so it could be handled within normal channels....but now we know he actually leaked it to Schiff and co-wrote the report with Schiff and another D party lawyer. Thats a potential perjury charge right there for the so-called "whistleblower."
IMHO
the so-called whistleblower should now be unmasked and then he should be arrested, tried and jailed for committing perjury when he submitted his report to the DNI and also put on trial for leaking confidential information White House information. Furthermore,
Schiff should be censored for failing to tell his own committee that there was a whistleblower report that the rules required the entire committee to see. The lawyer who worked with the CIA guy might also be subject to charges, since the rules for making a "protected disclosure" don't include having an outside lawyer who does work for the democrat party write the report for you.
The lawyer should've known better. He may well have violated the "espionage act." Of course, I still think the Ds should've nominated Bernie instead of Hillary back in 2016 and then Bernie would've beaten Trump and we just could've have skipped all this craziness.
