the office backdated the forms to make them appear as if they were published a month before. democrats then took the extremely rare step of pushing a whistle-blower complaint into the public. using it as the centerpiece of their impeachment crusade. we later learned that democratic staff had prior coordination with the whistle-blower, the though the democrats themselves had united on national television. following that revelation, democrats did a dramatic about-face. they suddenly drop their insistence that the whistle-blower testified to us and rejected our request to hear from him. then, in the hearing yesterday, the democrats cut off our questions and accused us of trying to out the whistle-blower. even though they claim they don t even know who he is.
