New York Times: Whistle-Blower Is a C.I.A. Officer Who Was Detailed to the White House
WASHINGTON — The whistle-blower who revealed that President Trump sought foreign help for his re-election and that the White House sought to cover it up is a C.I.A. officer who was detailed to work at the White House at one point, according to three people familiar with his identity.
The man has since returned to the C.I.A., the people said. Little else is known about him. His complaint made public Thursday suggested he was an analyst by training and made clear he was steeped in details of American foreign policy toward Europe, demonstrating a sophisticated understanding of Ukrainian politics and at least some knowledge of the law.

WNU Editor: If true, this proves to me that the U.S. intelligence community is spying on President Trump, and my gut is now telling me that this entire whistle-blower complaint was a set-up. It also tells me that this this Trump-Ukraine story is falling apart. I am just surprised that it is the New York Times that is breaking this story.
Update #1: Whistleblower Is a CIA Officer (Political Wire)
Update #2: NY Times: Whistleblower is a CIA officer (The Hill)
Update #3: I am now reading reports that Rep. Adam Schiff has been holding onto this whistle-blower complaint since August?!?!?
Update #4: I have no proof. But I would not be surprised if this CIA officer has ties to former CIA Director and Trump critic John Brennan.
Update #5: Apparently one of the lawyers for this Whistle-blower is a former CIA officer .... Ukraine whistleblower’s lawyers work for group that offers to pay officials who leak against Trump (Washington Examiner). Coincidence?
Update #6: I know that whistle-blower rules and laws protect the identity of these people. But considering the gravity of this case, and the consequences .... the impeachment of a President. This whistle-blower needs to testify, and he needs to be cross-examined.
Update #7: When I finished reading the whistle-blower complaint (and it is not an easy read), I felt the same way .... 'He Had Help': Former CIA, NSC Official Questions 'Too Convenient' And 'Too Perfect' Whistleblower Report (Zero Hedge).

Trump recordings stored on special server reminds of Oval Office tapes of Nixon's foot-shoot. If records are modified (Rosemary's gaps), that's a cover-up which took Dick down. Next, today's John Dean (spy whistleblower?) to spill beans. After a DoJ Saturday Night Massacre or 2.
Editor making assertions or guesses that seem a bit far fetched
Why surprised that NY Times with this story? after all, that paper is not the fake that Trump claims it is

Former Ukraine prosecutor says Hunter Biden ‘did not violate anything’
"I am now reading reports that Rep. Adam Schiff has been holding onto this whistle-blower complaint since August?!?!?"
If it was criminal and a matter of national security you don't hold it for 30 days or more.
Therefore it stands to reason this is political
and Democrats are criminal.
The disclosure of this supposed criminal act was timed for he perceived advantage of Democrats. Not that an moron parrot would realize it or acknowledge it.
There Frederico goes again slobbering down any swill the Democrat media sets in his bowl.
Question: Is Lutsenko the prosecutor who was fired, the Biden approved replacement, or a another prosecutor of unknown affiliation.
If he is the latter perhaps we should have a poll of many Ukrainian prosecutors instead of a prosecutor who was volunteered.
If this was a Biden approved prosecutor, then what he say has to be taken with a small grain of salt the size of Andromeda.
PS Freddy K. never reads past the 1st click.
$50K reward offered to out Trump whistleblower
Two Trump supporters are offering a $50,000 reward for information about the national security whistleblower at the center of the Ukraine phone affair.
--Controversial conservatives Jack Burkman and Jacob Wohl said they would pay the money for “information relating to the identity of the ‘Trump Whistleblower.’”
The whistleblower alleged a Trump coverup. A former insider explains how it worked.
White House ‘lockdown’ of transcript would be highly unusual
Oh yeah, Yuri Lutsenko is the prosecutor who replaced the one that Biden wanted to get rid of.
Of course the skank would say what he did. He has a vested interest.
No evidence of anyh wrong doing. none. what was done to get evidence is TRUE WRONG DOING
Republican governor throws weight behind Trump impeachment inquiry, becomes first to do so
Vermont Gov. Phil Scott on Thursday became the first Republican governor to back House Democrats' call for an impeachment inquiry against President Trump.
Scott said at a news conference that he wasn’t surprised by the allegations that Trump repeatedly urged Ukraine’s president to “look into” Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden because he’s “watched him over the years.” Trump had requested Ukraine look into Biden's attempt to pressure the nation into firing its top prosecutor, who was investigating a natural gas firm partially led by his son, Hunter.
The deep state is alive, and well.
"Vermont governor: DMV stopped sharing info with ICE in 2017"
That governor?
Like Romney, I mean Mittens, perhaps the guv is doing it out of self interest and not principle.
If he is making Vermont a sanctuary state, he is doing so, because he is counting votes.

FLASHBACK: 1998 Jerry Nadler Said Impeachment 'Is an Undoing of a National Election'

"Guv Scott is a liberal or moderate Republican"
There it is.
At the time of our involvement in Ukraine, I had stated that this was one of the dumbest if not the dumbest move ever made by a major world power in the history of the world. To date, I've seen nothing that would change this initial assessment.
At the time, while I was aware of the Biden situation, I dismissed it as insignificant. I simply assumed it was a case of making decisions based upon ideology. Essentially our leaders leaped before they looked having no real understanding of the issues involved or who we were/are supporting.
Essentially actions were taken that ran contrary to Anerican interests. Now it appears that not only has Mr. Biden enriched himself based upon policies that run contrary to American interests but others may have as well.
Not only has this run contrary to Ametucan interests as I pointed out at the beginning but it's not worked out well for Ukraine either. The coup plotters/revolutionaries may have some explaining to do to their countrymen and women. As to how Ukrainians wish to proceed this would be a decision for then to make, however, given what is at stake I think it in the best interests of both Ukraine and America that we jointly investigate this. From the American perspective, we need to learn from this to try and ensure such misguided policies aren't implemented in the future.
At present, my hypothesis is the coup plotters/revolutionaries in Ukraibe approached naive and ideologically bent top US officials telling them what they wanted to hear and further played on their greed by enticing with lucrative positions. This would be a reasonable explanation as to how such people are able to obtain positions they otherwise would seem unqualified for.
Furthermore given the culture of corruption that has existed in Ukraine in the past that has been well docunented I'm skeptical that the results of any prior investigations can be trusted. As the current leader was elected largely to combat this corruption, this would be a good place to start. This is an area where both our interests and those of Ukraine mesh perfectly. Essentially it is in the national interests of both America and Ukraine to pursue this investigation.
As such, the Ukrainian leadership shouldn't need to be coerced to act in the interests of the country they are supposed to be representing and it would seem imprudent for US leadership not to solicit their assistance in matters such as this that are vital to both nations. If they needed to be coerced, POTUS acted in America's best interests in attempting to prod them to do so and should be commended for this.
I apologize for the typos. My eyesight is poor and doing this from a smartphone doesn't always work as I intend.
I apologize for the typos. My eyesight is poor ...
Congratulations on keeping in character!
"Keeping in character" What exactly is meant by that? You seem to imply that I am being deceptive or have been. I've never been deceptive as to who I am or what my positions are. You can easily find out for yourself if you wish. All necessary information for you to do so has been supplied elsewhere on this site many times.
Now, if you wish to discuss my analysis, constructive dialogue is always appreciated. Constructive dialogue offers the opportunity to learn and to improve ourselves. Unfounded insults are not only unhelpful but they detract from constructive dialogue and generally hinder learning.
Given that my post contained several typos, the polite and respectful thing to do was/is to apologize and since many readers may not be familiar with my visual impairment I thought it appropriate to explain the situation. I believe such things are consistent with being a positive member of an internet community or any group for that matter. Unfounded insults that lack any basis in fact and insults in general IMHO would be consistent with trolling.
We have our own Fredo..the same kind of intellect. The same kind of race mongering. And I wouldn't be surprised if CNNs Fredo is also a perv
