How absurd. The real investigation occurs in a black box controlled by the IC IG who has seen nothing and knows nothing first hand.
The trial is over and held in secret even before you know who has any knowledge of anything.
No, that is not the way it works. Would you accept as your legitimate accuser the person has third hand informaton and doesn’t tell you what evidence or testimony exists?
All of which is a derailment. The real question is factual…has Trump attempted to find out the name of the whistle blower. That is a yes or no. As of now, we have no evidence that he has attempted to find the name of the whistle blower.
First, there is no “compromise” in being discussed in that conversation. He has stated that Guiliani didn’t even talk to him about this. Being mentioned in a conversation is not the same as being involved in a conversation.
Second, the DOJ OLC career professionals are the ones who made the decision about the whistle blower report. You have no evidence or reason to believe that Barr personally had anything to do with it.
The purpose of the investigation into the origins of the Russian investigation is to find out the truth about what happened and why it happened. An investigation that is making some very very nervous.
