1. He should (and most likely has) recorded a video (for insurance). He should release it.

I wouldn't go to the FBI.

I would send copies to journalists who would promise to hold it for a time or until something happened to the whistleblower.

6. Schiff was very careful yesterday not to encourage the whistle blower to do an end run

because of the great personal and legal risk to the whistle blower. Schiff is a standup guy. Luckily also, the whistle blower is being represented by a very experienced personal attorney in this.

It's a horrible position for a person who has dedicated years of service to America to be in. I'm not sure that Mueller, who was in this position a bit, stood up to this challenge.

I know the whistleblower is being repped by a lawyer who is former CIA.

I think when he first met the extremely wealthy Russian oligarchs, his eyes popped open. He wanted that.

13. He does have a fixer now so that makes him more of a mob boss I guess.

He also has a mob name - Donny Two Scoops. He's got a fixer - Billy The Barr, he's got an informant - Frankie Figs, I could go on and on!

if he/she goes to the FBI as I understand it. The FBI is likely part of the Barr cover up.
