Surprise! Fake "Whistleblower" Is Not Merely a "Registered Democrat," As Jake Tapper Claimed.
The Fake "Whistleblower" Has Actually Worked For One of the Democrats Running for the Presidential Nomination.

Jake Tapper lied?

Jake Tapper simply relayed the silly spin from frequent liar Adam Schiff "without evidence," as he likes to say about Trump?

I shan't believe it. I simply shannot.

Byron York:

In an Aug. 26 letter, the intelligence community's inspector general, Michael Atkinson, wrote that the anonymous whistleblower who set off the Trump-Ukraine impeachment fight showed "some indicia of an arguable political bias ... in favor of a rival political candidate."

A few weeks later, news reports said the whistleblower's possible bias was that he is a registered Democrat. That was all. Incredulous commentary suggested that Republicans who were pushing the bias talking point were so blinded by their own partisanship that they saw simple registration with the Democratic Party as evidence of wrongdoing.

"Give me a break!" tweeted whistleblower lawyer Mark Zaid. "Bias? Seriously?"

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.

If I can't trust Jake Tapper and his "conservative" Beta Orbiters who amplify and propagate his DNC talking points all day on Twitter, why, then who can I trust?
