No one cares about the whistleblower anymore except idiot trumpanzees like you. All his besties have turned on him and he's about to be only the third president in the history of the country to be IMPEACHED. Put that in his presidential library and color it red under IMPEACHED LOLOL

What's really not hard to call is that the 'story' is not being corroborated by any non-bat shit RW sources, not a single one.

And of course, as has been pointed out, everything that caused the whistleblower to blow the whistle HAS been corroborated, and not just by witness testimony under oath, but by the big mouth in chief, his personal lawyer and his chief of staff.

Nunes Aide Is Leaking the Ukraine Whistleblower's Name, Sources Say

Derek Harvey, a former intelligence analyst, has also been spreading disinformation about an aide to Adam Schiff.

A top aide to Rep. Devin Nunes has been providing conservative politicians and journalists with information—and misinformation—about the anonymous whistleblower who triggered the biggest crisis of Donald Trump’s presidency, two knowledgeable sources tell The Daily Beast.

Derek Harvey, who works for Nunes, the ranking Republican on the House intelligence committee, has provided notes for House Republicans identifying the whistleblower’s name ahead of the high-profile depositions of Trump administration appointees and civil servants in the impeachment inquiry. The purpose of the notes, one source said, is to get the whistleblower’s name into the record of the proceedings, which committee chairman Adam Schiff has pledged to eventually release. In other words: it’s an attempt to out the anonymous official who helped trigger the impeachment inquiry.

On Saturday, The Washington Post reported that GOP lawmakers and staffers have “repeatedly” used a name purporting to be the whistleblower during the depositions. The paper named Harvey as driving lines of questioning Democrats saw as attempting to determine the political loyalties of witnesses before the inquiry. A former official told the Post that Harvey “was passing notes [to GOP lawmakers] the entire time” ex-NSC Russia staffer Fiona Hill testified.

“Exposing the identity of the whistleblower and attacking our client would do nothing to undercut the validity of the complaint’s allegations,” said Mark Zaid, one of the whistleblower’s attorneys. “What it would do, however, is put that individual and their family at risk of harm. Perhaps more important, it would deter future whistleblowers from coming forward in subsequent administrations, Democratic or Republican.” Zaid has represented The Daily Beast in freedom-of-information lawsuits against the federal government.

"I will bring back factory jobs and rescue the manufacturing industry" -Donald Trump, 2016

Manufacturing Is Now Smallest Share of U.S. Economy in 72 Years

Three years after Donald Trump campaigned for president pledging a factory renaissance, the opposite appears to be happening.

Manufacturing made up 11% of gross domestic product in the second quarter, the smallest share in data going back to 1947 and down from 11.1% in the prior period, a Commerce Department report showed Tuesday. Figures before 2005 were for full years only.

The latest number compares with 13.4% for real estate, 12.8% for professional and business services and 12.3% for governments, according to the figures on GDP by industry.
