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).
It’s a intelligence employee acting as a whistleblower in bringing a complaint to the (Trump-appoited) intelligence IG, not to the DOJ. How is it comparable to employees of a separate company bringing illegal or unethical activity of another company to light?

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.
For the last time - I don’t believe this classified as a whistleblower Based upon the definition of a whistleblower.

And I will wait for the details to come out. But I suspect this is much ado about nothing.
A whistleblower can come from either the public or private sector.

Yes, that is true and not what I said.
But I’m done banging my head against a brick wall.
