1. So i'm thinking the WH knows about this from before?

Could this help them figure out the name of the whistle blower?

2. Think the earlier one was submitted anonymously

If they had an early heads up, why was their cover/memo so bad?

8. Because they thought they had the whole deal squashed!

They didn't need to prepare a response to the information getting out, because they didn't think it would. The Orange One's monstrous ego (I'm thinking Barr is the same way) believes in his infallibility and immortality (like a teenager with a six pack and a car) and ability to weasel out of everything before he gets caught.

If this weren't so damned dangerous, it would almost be funny - Keystone Kops kinda funny.

3. It makes you wonder...

So now this was possibly known before the official Complaint, which could even be before the resignations of Dan Coats and Sue Gordon. I keep wondering if these events are intimately related.

4. What's going on with the second whistleblower (regarding IRS)?

5. Quashed... although squashed is a better visual.

6. Moscow Don is waiting for one of his

Lackeys to blab the name. Still say,old Moscow Don will blow this persons cover within 24 hours.

7. And then the acting DNI said, 'Hmm, I better go straight to the very people being accused.'

Please, please, please get that server, Schiff and Co.

Please put an end to the Trump Crime Family.

9. I wonder who actually has the code word access

to that server. Not very many people, and I'm guessing that the list itself is classified. I do recall hearing Adam Schiff say that as the Chairman of the Intelligence Committee, there isn't anything that's classified beyond his ability to know.
