The Collapse Begins

The "big" story that President Trump made certain requests of the Ukrainian president about investigating Joe Biden's son is starting to fall apart.

Here's a tweet from Brit Hume commenting on a CNN article on the subject:

Here’s a “new revelation” in this article: the whistleblower complaint is based on hearsay. From the article: “The whistleblower didn't have direct knowledge of the communications, an official briefed on the matter told CNN.”

Consider what this means. The whistleblower didn't hear the President say anything. Most likely, he was told by someone else that Trump said this or that. In other words, the story is unreliable.

It's starting to look like the Kavanaugh "revelations" by the NY Times a week ago which all fell apart when the fact emerged that the supposed "victim" didn't support the claims and even said she had no memory of any of it.
