[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]13:34, if you read the entire IG statement that you just quoted from, you would see that it explicitly states that no first hand knowledge is now, nor has it ever, been required to make a whistleblower complaint.  There was no changed, except a minor change to a form in May 2018.  The whistleblower statute does not require first hand knowledge, and it would be illegal for the IG to implement such a requirement.  [/quote]

You're missing the point.  What the I.G.'s statement said is that the whistle blower himself, in filling out the complaint form, claimed to have had first hand knowledge.  However, the actual letter the whistle blower submitted (obviously drafted by his attorneys), denies having any first hand knowledge.

At some point, someone with first hand knowledge will have to testify, publicly, non-anonymously, and subject to cross examination, if the Dems want to impeach Trump.

Remember, whistle blower complaints are intended to remain confidential and to be used internally.  This complaint isn't really a qualifying whistle blower complaint because Trump is not subject to the DNI's authority, so it's a misnomer to call him a whistle blower in the first place.  In any event, none of this was ever supposed to be publicized, yet the Democrats forced that issue big time.

The Democrats desire to publicize what is inherently confidential and internal for purely political purposes is what will force the whistle blower to lose the cloak of anonymity, just like Blasey Ford, just like Christopher Steele.

Trump doesn't need to "out" the whistle blower because he is well aware that if the Dems want to proceed with an impeachment, they themselves have to expose the whistle blower.[/quote]

Okay.  There, there, pat, pat.[/quote]
