I’m starting to really like Dr. Steve Turley. Here he explores the connection of the “Whistle Blower” “complaint” to various “open media sources” that rely heavily on OCCRP (Pronounced Oh-CCRAP! ;-)
The “Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Organization” sponsored by George Soros as #2 funder (so maybe looking into who is #1 matters AND all their connections…).
So, let me get this straight: A supposed “whistle blower” who isn’t in the room and has not prior knowledge of the events, reports “water cooler” rumors at best, and THEN cites a load of Oh-CCRaP assertions? My God Man! It sure smells like a put up job. It even reads and sounds like a put up job. A “hit piece” in fact… On what planet does a “concerned citizen” hearing something the find questionable run off to a George Soros funded hit piece site to get quotes / citations / validation?
I think we now know were the assertion of “partisan leanings” comes from. How about Flaming Red Partisan Banners and Fireworks! Eh? (about 11 minutes)
Oh, and at about 6 minutes he goes into the Soros / Remainer connections.
Musings from the Chiefio 
AH! Perfect place. Hide this until 1/20/21
Here is what is happening. Trump has been very restrained in his first term. He has let a lot slide in order to get along with the dimmowits. Once he is a lame duck, he will no longer be under that constraint.
His rhetoric is true. His actions are weak. Once he is re-elected, his actions will match his rhetoric. Soros knows this (he is one of the few smart ones on the left – not really left, but he is a globalist). That is why Soros is going all out to defeat him. He will be in jail in 2021 if Trump wins again.
Biden, Kerry (already guilty of many crimes due to his Iran crap), and Hillary will be indicted. As will Comey, Clapper, Brennan, and Lynch. Obama will be spared (in deference to the office ,not due to his guilt or innocence). The deep state will not be dead, but it will be exposed and going really deep.
What the left does not understand is that Trump keeps his promises (any successful business man lives by his word( and worse, he does get even! He is NOT a politician. They also are not smart enough to know he is not an idiot. Everyone who says he is, is merely demonstrating the level of their own stupidity.
No one will admit these things. And no one will pay attention to the rantings of some clown on a blog. But I have been studying the man for 3 years. I do not know the complete story (I am not that smart). But I am not blinded by hate either.
Seems like the wistleblower requirement for only first hand knowledge was just recently changed to allow hearsay.
.
The Disclosure of Urgent Concern form was changed in August 2019 to allow hearsay where the prior form required first hand knowledge only.
.
Looking very much like the entire issue is a setup considering Trumps call on this issue was July 25.

@Ed – especially since Schiffless had the report back in August.
It is looking increasingly like Trump and the Common Citizen are one one side, and the TLAs (with CIA in the lead) along with the Globalists (who own the Democrats) and are on the corrupt other side.
Just look at “who does what” and it’s pretty clear.
So the question becomes: Can the CIA / FBI / MI5, MI6 etc be “recovered” to the side of democratically elected governance, or not?
On both Sky News UK and France24 the coverage is ONLY quoting the “complaint”. NOT the transcript of the call. Clearly the media have their talking points to NOT cover the actual conversation…
What is impressive to me is just how broad and deep the “Control” goes. Pretty much all the TLAs of the USA / UK / ?? Others?? along with ALL the “Mainstream Media” on both sides of the Atlantic. Fox seems to be a little outside of the reach, but slowly being roped in as the “kids” take over.
Why is Russia being so roundly demonized? What have they actually done that deserves it? Nothing much in comparison to “business as usual” from “the west”. Bought a trivial amount of facebook ads and did some general “pot stirring” to get folks fighting each other. (While the USA under the Bush / Obama / Hillary group has taken down whole nations on their border and nearby along with Soros and his Color Revolutions corrupting Ukraine etc.)
The other thing that is impressive is how the Average Citizen has started to do something about it. Tossing ALL the Deep State candidate Republicans in the dumpster for the one candidate who had a chance of fixing things. Tossing the Globalists in a litany of EU nations (Italy, Hungary, Austria, etc.). Voting for Brexit. Tossing the MSM in the trash bucket (layoffs abound…)
It has the sense of an existential war about it, but all being fought in the psychological / media / political / lawfare arena.
@Phil:
The Bongino video (1076 IIRC) did a nice job of showing that Shiff had it before it was formally filed… Shiff references things in the complaint in a tweet prior to the complaint being filed…
Buzz is out there that Nancy saw Joe losing to Warren, who the Dem wall street establishment hates. Word out is that wall street will not support Warren. The impeachment inquiry trashes any hope of Joe staying in and leave Nancy’s hands clean on forcing Joe out. It then opens the possibility of bringing Hillery back in as a last minute savior to overcome Warren.
.
Makes a weird kind of sense due to how flimsy the charge against Trump is and how frount and center Joe now is with a corruption charge.
@Ed – yep! Hard for Wall Street to have to sit one out, so I suspect that poor Liz will meet with an unfortunate “accident” and hillary will be brought in – Boas the designated hitter,
@EM – Bongiino is not the only one revealing that information. I learned from you to seek out all sources of information. It has been a great boon to understanding the lack of transparency of the YSM
*as the designated hitter. – where the “BO:” came from I can only assume was the fact I have been doing yard work and stink!
I just took it as a “boa constrictor” pun… as in “bring back the snakes”… ;-)
I’d LOVE it were they to trot out Loser Hillary again. She’s just that much more worn out and broken now and it would sure invigorate the base… The Trump Base! Only real risk would be if they had sent her off to Rehab and cleaned up her Gin problem so she was actually lucid…
Trump beat her when he was an unknown “take a risk” candidate. Now he’s a POTUS with a great track record of making the country work for The People again. There’s a whole lot of new ABC Anybody But Clinton voters out there now ;-)
The simple fact is that in highly corrupt organizations, only the corrupt and unlikable (high sociopathic tendencies) rise to the top. So the Dems have put themselves in the position where all they can offer are the ineffective suck-ups and the dominant corrupt and evil unlikable. They’ve gone out of their way to cripple the candidacy of the one likable and thoughtful person (Tulsi Gabbard) who could actually get my vote.
The Republicans were on their way to that, but still had a competitive aspect to their selection process (and a less ‘bought off’ constituency dependent on government giveaways). So the Bush Dynasty went out the window early on, and the others got slapped down one after the other as they were show to either be from the ineffective or Party pwnd groups. Leaving the Populist Reformer standing.
Either the Democrats clean up their party structure and let The People choose who they want, or they will continue their march to ever more marginalized as the corruption becomes ever more visible and the Socialists set their (losing) policy agenda.
That is the thing about big primaries. Everyone gets dinged. The genius of Trump is he came in Dinged! So none of the regular crap worked. The same could be said about Hillary, except she now has real crimes listed against her – as enumerated by Comey. They were not prosecuted, so she is not “not guilty” and they are legitimate against her.
The beauty of a trial is that you can then say “I did not do it!” if not convicted. Which is what the smart democrats (all 2 of them) understand about impeachment. NO trial, and no exoneration. And Hillary cannot stand a trial. Her lack of memory will not help her since the crimes do not contain “intent”.
Sounds like USAID is a funder

@Another Ian:
That comment you point to is important enough I’m going to quote it here (so it isn’t lost…)
Nice list of the Suspects…
E.M.
About now I am reminded of that alternative expression – “Those that the gods wish to destroy they first make confident”
