I don’t know their motives or reasons for doing, or not doing something. But I’m going to wait for things to come out before I immediately decide something wrong was done.
And I’m thinking the definition of whistleblower is when someone works for a company and they tell on the company. If the CFO of Bayer made a complaint to the DOJ that WalMart was doing something illegal, that’s not a whistleblower case, it’s a criminal complaint (hopefully with evidence).
Trump has already admitted he pressed them to investigate Biden. One would think that if the call was as innocuous as Trump (a noted prolific liar) was claiming, they wouldn’t be pulling out all the stops to stop Congress from being informed about it and about the complaint.
And I will wait for the details to come out. But I suspect this is much ado about nothing.
Trump has done plenty to warrant impeachment but
