    For the LAST TIME, the OLC reports to a political appointee. The OLC has no role in the process. The WB is allowed to go to a member of one of the intelligence committees, they make the complaint, which then goes to the IG who passes it to the DNI, who then takes it to CONGRESS. Congress is the investigative body in this case. Once congress determines what happened, then THEY go to the OLC for legal guidance if needed

    Well the Democratic candidate has not yet been cossen so it's a long stretch for anyone to claim that Biden was ever Trump's political rival. It's just not true.

    No, they dont ? You may not like what Biden’s son did, I dont, but whats illegal about accepting a job ?

    Until you can prove that Biden or his son did anything illegal, which nothing illegal has been hinted at, then you have nothing. What evidence is there that Biden or his son did anything illegal. What was the crime. Thats a serious question

    The entirety of the Trump defense is “Biden and his son need to be investigated”. With no even one shred of anything illegal happening.

    If getting a job because of who your dad is, then we should be investigating every business deal of the Trump kids right ?

    He can be an accomplice if he was giving the WB information. He ironically serves as the Chair on the House Intelligence Committee, has access to a great deal of information, is a liar, and few trust him.
    Then there could be dozens of Whistleblowers with the same knowledge and opinions. That is not the usual definition of a Whistleblower, but it sounded dramatic at first.

    He was leading in the polls at the time

    He isn’t anymore, and I really think that just having the bad press killed his candidacy. But the dems dont really have a chance at beating Trump with anyone who's even in the top 5 right now. Those at the top right now are way to far left for even most of the Democratic Party.

    Why would he give the WB information ? Schiff is the chairman of a very powerful committee. If he had that information, he wouldn’t need anyone to file a complaint, he has the power to investigate it by himself

    You're asking a lot of questions here and rightly so. That's why there is an investigation. https://www.foxnews.com/media/john-...c-shows-significant-shift-in-factual-timeline

    And everyone should know how polls work 18 months before an election and candidates are not yet chosen. Unreliable polls shouldn't figure into possible corruption charges. And that corruption occurred seems evident.

    Biden has been getting favorable press compared to Donald Trump. But this is not about politics but about corruption. That Biden is a politician shouldn't really matter. But we seem to agree on the weak candidates. I would always prefer stronger candidates, with the Republican field in 2016 being one of the best. It's good for the country when the best are running and hope that the Democrats do well. But not too well))

    If he made public the classified information he has access to he could be charged with a serious crime and everyone would know it was political. He had to do it through a third party, and call him a Whistleblower, when no whistle, or crime, existed. Trump screwed him by releasing the actual classified conversation and not Adam Schiff's version.

    That isn't the angle that I'm illustrating.

    The premise of this latest hoax is based on the presumption that it's wrong for Trump to investigate political opponents, but it's perfectly fine for Trump's political opponents to investigate him.

    Hypocrisy much?

    Hunter Biden was not the focus of the corruption investigation that Biden snuffed. He just happened to be on the board, which is a different can of worms

    I was speaking of the complainers attempt at whistleblowing, that is a legal matter.

    Once again for the LAST TIME the OLC is an independent agency that gives it's LEGAL determination in such matters and they determined there were no laws broken, no FEC violations and it did not meet the criteria to be a an intelligence agency whistleblower complaint and Trump is not an employee of the intelligence employee anyway. Congress does not overrule that determination.

    It doesn't have to be criminal to be an accomplice, strawman. We know he was a CIA analysis and quite clearly someone suffering from TDS and went to Schiff and the Democrats to cook up their little scheme to engage in their political coup.

    And others perhaps and that needs to be investigated for violations of the espionage act.

    Let's not forget, the "corruption" the Ukranian prosecutor was investigating.
    It wasn't hunter's presence on the board

    There's a few peeps that theorize he may be "Charlie" - the spy inside the WH that the strozk / page texts refer.

    There are plenty of right wing trumpettes looking for any reason to ignore the fact that every allegation made by the whistleblower has been confirmed.
