Yes. The process was compromised by illegal leaking & Congressional interference, before the IG fully investigated the matter.MDlaxfan76 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 30, 2019 10:26 amAhhh well, the truth was outed.old salt wrote: ↑Mon Sep 30, 2019 10:22 am...& gets the WB complaint to Congress, so it can trigger the press conference & public hearing SchiffShow.
Normally, this complaint would have been fully investigated (without the Congressional notification timeline) by the IG & closed, without becoming a public matter, unless the full investigation substantiated the claim. If the WB was not satisfied with the IG's finding, he could then take it to the Congressional Intel comm's. All without public disclosure, because of the complaint & evidence would not yet be declassified.
Schiff's hearings should be closed & none of this should (yet) be public matters.
Somebody leaked.
55% of Americans currently in favor of moving impeachment inquiry forward.
Some of the investigation will indeed be 'closed' (depositions, IG) but it's virtually all going to be exposed publicly in due course.
Mission Accomplished -- the uproar caused by the leak forced the complaint & transcript to be declassified & released, so the narrative could be hyped to generate support for an impeachment inquiry. Now the adjudication of this WB complaint has been completely politicized & will be a media spectacle.
