Interesting development in the whistleblower saga, via Jake Tapper:
Breaking — A source familiar with the investigation prompted by the whistleblower tells me that the “indicia of bias of an arguable political bias on the part“ of the whistleblower referred to by the Intel Community IG, is that the whistleblower is a Registered Democrat.

The attorney for the whistleblower declined to offer a comment.

If the whistleblower is indeed a Democrat, that wouldn’t exactly come as a major surprise.
I’m shocked, I tell you. SHOCKED! https://t.co/XmVfEBWhqG

We’re sure it’s around here somewhere.

Update:
2/ The attorney for the whistleblower declined to comment.
The IG said "such evidence did not change my determination that the complaint relating to the urgent concern 'appears credible' particularly given the other information the ICIG obtained during its preliminary review."
