So Schiff's plot was to coax an Intel community official into writing a whistleblower complaint that would then be comfirmed by documents released by Trump's own White House, then further corroborated by numerous other people with firsthand knowledge of the allegations???
One of the most amazing things about the conspiracy theories Trump entertains about his political rivals is how their feasibility requires superhuman powers of surreptitious manipulation on the part of the people at the center of them
For example, with Uranium One, Hillary Clinton supposedly secured a unanimous vote from nine U.S. government agencies—without leaving any evidence of her involvement—for a deal that would benefit a Clinton Foundation donor who had sold his shares in the company 3 years earlier
With Ukraine, we're to believe that Joe Biden was secretly able to get the U.S. government, our European allies, and multi-national organizations like the IMF to call for the removal of a prosecutor who wasn't doing enough to fight corruption, to protect his son from...something?
And of course, Schiff was able to find a whistleblower, in secret, who was in a position to write a whistleblower complaint so good that a Trump-appointed IG would send it to Congress and Trump's own White House would release the memo that confirmed its core allegations
