It does not mean the complaint is invalid or inappropriate. But can we please dispense with the idea that this is just one honest public servant out to blow a whistle. The roll out of allegations against the President via the media is coordinated and deeply troubling.

The whistleblower prepared a detailed complaint and it leaked. Democrats clearly had knowledge of it. There was clearly buzz building with reporters briefed on the President’s conversations with Ukraine’s President. Well before the whistleblower complaint leaked, reporters were beginning to say things like “sources tell us there is a call between the President of the United States and President of Ukraine.”

Then reporters started up with “Now sources tell us there is a whistleblower complaint from inside the White House. But we do not know if it relates to the call the same sources are telling us about. But we know it is.”

Then the transcript gets released. The buzz on the whistleblower grows. Then the whistleblower stuff is released.

Democrats already knew all about it. The press knew a good bit about it.

This was absolutely coordinated. The leak happened with coordination between Democrats on the Hill and members of the press. Frankly, they probably relied on the Republican whistleblower roll out from Benghazi, but with greater media buy in and a full impeachment investigation.

Surprise! Next we learn that the President also had conversations with Putin and the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia in the secure server.

Next we have an op-ed in the Washington Post from a career nat-sec staffer who oversaw the transcripts from the phone calls. She says it is wholly inappropriate to put them in that server. Surprise! She’s now the Vice President for a far-left think tank. Surprise!

Next we have the drip, drip, drip about the nothing burger of a phone call with the Australian Prime Minister where the President has the sheer and staggering audacity to ask Australia to help the United States Attorney General Investigate what really happened in 2016.

I bet we will have more.

It is a coordinated drip, drip, drip campaign by partisans within the intelligence community coordinating with Democrats and the media.

Now, here’s the punchline — that doesn’t mean there are no high crimes and misdemeanors. There very well could be and it is a reminder that President Trump will have roped himself in by believing geriatric pundits and Rudy Giuliani instead of his own handpicked intelligence and homeland security advisers.

But there is one more thing we need to consider as a nation. Do we really want to get into the intelligence community offing Presidents of the United States they do not like? [Conspiracist: You mean like with JFK?!?!] Because there is clearly an issue of contemptuousness for the President in all of this. It feels like a Praetorian Guard effort to off the Emperor who no longer trusts his guards.

Still — if they can actually show high crimes and misdemeanors, the Congress is sworn to uphold, protect, and defend the constitution, not the President. That also means they need to root out leakers in the intelligence community and punish them, not lionize them.
