REPORT: ANALYSIS: Does Schiff already know the Trump whistleblower’s story?
As the most reliable and balanced news aggregation service on the internet, DML News App offers the following information written by Susan Ferrechio and published by WASHINGTONEXAMINER.COM:
Did House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff have the inside details about the Trump whistleblower two weeks ago?
Earlier this month, the California Democrat announced a “wide-ranging investigation” into allegations President Trump was trying to pressure Ukraine’s government into aiding his reelection campaign.
The article goes on to state the following:
Schiff ordered the probe on Sept. 9, hours before he received the first of two letters from the intelligence community inspector general revealing the existence of a whistleblower complaint. Multiple news outlets reported this week that the complaint involved, at least in part, a phone conversation between Trump and recently elected Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
The article further notes that although Inspector General Michael K. Atkinson’s letter didn’t provide Schiff with the details, some Republicans are suspecting that Schiff already knew the details and was “orchestrating a headline-grabbing story from his perch on the Intelligence panel.”
Prior to Atkinson’s letter, Schiff had already demanded that Trump release documents relating to the matter, including the transcript of Trump’s July 25 call with Zelensky, which implies he already has specific details about the whistleblower’s complaint.

Yet again, Trump puts his interest above the national interest.

Any effort by Trump to pressure a foreign government to dig up dirt on his political opponent, while holding up vital military aid to that country, is both corrupt and a grave threat to American interests.

Whistleblower protections are sacrosanct in our democracy, Mr. President.
Your attack against a whistleblower increases the chance that corruption goes unreported, and heightens risk of an illegal reprisal.
We will do everything we can to protect this, and every, whistleblower. https://t.co/0HP4FC8cQ3
