    All the more reason to bring him before the Congress and be questioned before the American People. But NOPE Schiff is not calling him, will refuse to have him called and has stated in his just released guidelines for impeachment any mention of him will be shutdown.

    This is an outrage and the American People need to know the origins of this scheme and who was involved. When did it start and who knew about it.

    ICIG complaint alleges Trump-Ukraine whistleblower may be soliciting illicit donations

    EXCLUSIVE: A newly filed complaint to the Intelligence Community Inspector General (ICIG) alleges that the whistleblower whose allegations touched off House Democrats' impeachment inquiry may have violated federal law by indirectly soliciting more than a quarter-million dollars from mostly anonymous sources via a GoFundMe page.

    The complaint, which was filed last week and obtained by Fox News, alleged the donations from roughly 6,000 individuals "clearly constitute" gifts to a current intelligence official that may be restricted because of the employee's official position pursuant to 5 CFR 2635.203 and other statutes. To date, the GoFundMe has raised over $227,000.


    The complaint also raised the possibility that some of the donations may have come from prohibited sources, and asked the ICIG to look into whether any "foreign citizen or agent of a foreign government" contributed.

    Just to be clear.....an actual whistleblower has blown the whistle on the leaker shitbag Eric Ciaramella for taking in over $250K illegally as political payback for his hit job on Trump.

    So the whistleblower on the whistleblower LEAKED a complaint before the IG could rule on its veracity. Now that may be illegal as it did not go through proper channels.

    So you're about to defend this guy and still think Schiff should be hiding him?

    He'll probably make out like a bandit, like that Ford liar who tried to smear Kavanaugh.

    I'm still waiting for the iron clad evidence that Schiff stated many time he had during the first witch hunt (Russia, Russia, Russia!!!). Schiff never released it, and suddenly stopped talking about it. This current witch hunt will end the same way, with Schiff producing nothing, and suddenly stop talking about it.

    If Schiff outs the whistleblower, he may be in violation of the law and could be censured.

    The whistleblower is completely irrelevant to the impeachment hearings at this point as the transcript was released and there was in fact a call made that a number of other State Department and Congressional members is cause for concern. And we have the first hand testimony of the Lt. Col. The whistleblower could be King of the anti-Trumpers and it wouldn’t change the investigation.

    He changed his tune on wanting the WB to testify because it has come out there was coordination or can we say collusion, contrary to what Schiff once said.

    If the broke the law then the DOJ should investigate. Still has nothing to do with impeachment.

    I'm not denying it, but before we run too far with this, is it possible that this account was setup by other parties? Not a difficult thing to do, and in today's world of fake everything, the question should be up front. What makes me wonder about it is why this WB would do something so obviously wrong?

    Sure it does, who has been involved in this coup attempt, who else is getting paid and by whom.

    The IG investigation is the first trip wire to the DOJ.

    Why did Schiff lie about the contacts with the whistleblower which was obviously wrong to do. This is swamp business I don't put anything past them.

    There is no law protecting the whistleblower and we the people have a right to know who he is, we do already, and to hear first hand his testimony.

    Trumps impeachment is not invesigating your Imaginary coup attempt. Tell the DOJ to look into it if they feel there was a crime.

    This is getting good and it's going to get even better when Durham announces charges.

    It IS the ongoing coup attempt and it's origins should be fully investigated to find out how deep it is.

    Vindman was upset that Trump was not following the bureaucrats policy. He also would not say who he talked to. The bureaucrats are not in charge of policy.

    These ******* State Department Bureaucrats are actually upset because, "Trump is not following our foreign policy". Hey dickheads, the President sets foreign policy and you follow... or get removed. Instead these people think they can remove the President. The wake up call is coming... soon. These Leftists need to be fired in mass after Trump wins 2020. They know it and are doing everything to undermine our President and nation.

    Nobody’s stopping the DOJ from doing just that. It has no bearing on the evidence being submitted around impeachment.

    For enforcing treasury placed conditions on a loan? you folks should really be defending Biden. How can you claim what he did, which was open and public, was bad....but trumps personal lawyer sneaking around and soliciting bribes was fine?
