Byron York: Whistleblower Had Professional Tie To Unnamed Democrat Candidate

Here's what Byron York had to say about the whistleblower's "professional" link to a 2020 Democrat hopeful via The Washington Examiner:

Now, however, there is word of more evidence of possible bias on the whistleblower's part. Under questioning from Republicans during last Friday's impeachment inquiry interview with Atkinson, the inspector general revealed that the whistleblower's possible bias was not that he was simply a registered Democrat. It was that he had a significant tie to one of the Democratic presidential candidates currently vying to challenge President Trump in next year's election.

          

"The IG said [the whistleblower] worked or had some type of professional relationship with one of the Democratic candidates," said one person with knowledge of what was said.

          

"The IG said the whistleblower had a professional relationship with one of the 2020 candidates," said another person with knowledge of what was said.

          

"What [Atkinson] said was that the whistleblower self-disclosed that he was a registered Democrat and that he had a prior working relationship with a current 2020 Democratic presidential candidate," said a third person with knowledge of what was said.

          

All three sources said Atkinson did not identify the Democratic candidate with whom the whistleblower had a connection. It is unclear what the working or professional relationship between the two was.

The Washington Times also said:

The inspector general for the intelligence community reportedly told a House panel last week that the whistleblower who complained about President Trump’s Ukraine phone call had a professional relationship with one of the 2020 Democratic presidential candidates.

                                                                                                                                                        

At the closed-door Friday hearing, Michael Atkinson revealed the detail under questioning from House intelligence committee Republicans, according to the Washington Examiner.

                                                                                                                                                        

The Tuesday evening report by Byron York quoted three sources for the revelation, all identified as a “person with knowledge of what was said.”

                                                                                                                                                                                                      

“The IG said [the whistleblower] worked or had some type of professional relationship with one of the Democratic candidates,” one of the sources told the Examiner.

                                                                                                                                                        

One of the other two sources, who gave the Examiner very similar quotes, elaborated that the ties with the 2020 Democratic hopeful was a “prior working relationship.”

Townhall also commented on the breaking update to the insane impeachment saga:

The sources are not named, so as with anything relating to anonymous sources, let’s wait and see. At the same time, are we shocked? The Left has been gunning to impeach Trump since 2016. Yes, there is a deep state of liberal activist government workers seeking to make things as difficult as possible for this administration. The Democrats couldn’t get Trump on their Russian collusion nonsense. The Mueller report shot that theory dead. This was the Left’s best hope to get Trump and now they’re using some phone call to rehash many of the same talking points in order to get the president. You all knew this would look silly if the Democrats tried to weaponize Russian collusion. Now, they’re trying to make something out of this Ukraine thing, where the only notable characteristics are that the Democrats are desperate, politically motivated, and using selective evidence to execute an impeachment inquiry.

So, if this is all true, it's even more evidence that the whistleblower had it out for Trump.

Unfortunately, the whole impeachment fiasco is falling apart day by day.

The American people are, in the words of AOC, "over it."

That's why Trump will not only not be swayed by the impeachment inquiry but emerge victorious, once again, in 2020!
