LOL. This is a joke, right? The whistleblower's complaint was "just" released? Seriously? We've been hearing little else all week. And, it's already been debunked by the release of the actual call transcript in which the President does absolutely nothing illegal, immoral, or even offensive (a rare occurrence for him). Please. Could we go back to the real story that got lost in this muck. Epstein's crimes and death, as well as those associated with him

Schiff Got Early Account of Accusations as Whistle-Blower’s Concerns Grew
Days before filing a whistle-blower complaint, a C.I.A. officer brought a vague version of his accusations to an aide on the House Intelligence Committee.

MCPO Roger Collins As Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee I would expect him to get early notice. Heck the law requires he get it before many who were notified before him.

Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen Brilliant use of the whistleblower act. No recourse by the President. Inability to respond to the complaint, even though the Ukrainian President confirms he was not pressured. Then we have a House that can consider anything impeachable.
“Because of his swift elevation from Congress, to the vice presidency after Nixon’s first vice president, Spiro Agnew, resigned, and then to the presidency when Nixon himself resigned, Ford knew – perhaps better than almost any modern president – the prerogatives of each branch of government. He understood that impeachment was primarily a political procedure of governance, not a criminal proceeding. Congress, Congressman Ford noted in 1970, was not bound by explicit legislation when seeking to remove the President. “An impeachable offense,” he explained, “is whatever a majority of the House of Representatives considers it to be at a given moment in history.”
