[W:90]Whistleblower filed a complaint to the intelligence IG.Why is it being withheld from Congress?

Re: A whistleblower filed a complaint to the intelligence IG. Why is it being withheld from Congress

Yet every single time, the MSM and Democrats treat the half-truths, partial stories and speculation as fact, and start banging the impeachment drum.

Kinda like a 2 year old with a toy drum.

It's all they got, given the hard left of their primary candidates who have staked out the 'left out' territory for themselves.

The desperate attempts of the trump supporters to defend the DOJ blocking the whistleblower complaint are pathetic. The law is clear - the complaint should go immediately to congress to be investigated. If there was no wrongdoing the trump administration should have nothing to worry about.

By their behavior, it's obvious trump has something to worry about. Same with his refusing to release his tax returns. There's something incriminating trump's trying to hide from the nation. It's so obvious.

So lets see. Trump maintains there is nothing to see here in the whistleblower complaint. But he goes on to resist letting anybody see it even to the point of asking his craven underlings to break the law (we always said DonDon functions like a mob boss).

So lets look for some historical perspective:
Was there anything to see in Teapot Dome? YUP, Proven so
Was there anything to see in Watergate? YUP, Proven so via resignation at least and really more than resignation
Was there anything to see in Iran/Contra? YUP, Proven so
Was there anything to see in the Bill boinking intern affair? YUP, Proven so

All of them involved some degree of Presidential misconduct and all of them proved out to have SOMETHING TO SEE HERE. Note to DonDon in Bill Clinton's case, by hiding having boinked the intern, the investigation eventually uncovered more issues for Bill than just boinking the intern.

You can add Spiro Agnew's nonsense if you want to through he was only a VP. But there was surely something to see there and proven so.

We did not have the heart to completely unmask Grandpa Reagan. Anything strike anybody grandfatherly about DonDon though he has one or two?

Whistleblower 'didn’t have direct knowledge of the communications' between Trump and Ukraine

An interesting development. Certainly call the whistle blower's credibility into question.

Not really. This is a fourth-hand account of a third-hand understanding of secondhand information. (It may actually be fifth-hand, as I count it back.) Since neither the "official" (who is unnamed) nor the reporter had access to either the whistleblower complaint or the IG report, how reliable is their account? And this is a reporter reporting the report of another reporter (a recent habit of journalism that I detest), who didn't have independent sources. Yeah, real credibility there.

"reporter reporting the report of another reporter" - agreed.

DC is going to have to sort all this out, and hopefully, although not likely, do the 'right thing'. We'll have to see.
