"SNIP......

The whistleblower did meet once with an Intelligence Committee staff member in late July in order to inquire about the congressional investigative process, the source said.

The source said the whistleblower and the committee staff member had known each other from prior work but their contacts had been "professional" and they were "not friends or close."

He said the committee staffer told the whistleblower to hire a lawyer and speak to the intelligence community inspector general.

The whistleblower subsequently filed a complaint with the spy agency watchdog alleging that Trump pressured Ukraine's president in a July 25 phone call to investigate one of Trump's political rivals, Democratic presidential hopeful and former Vice President Joe Biden, over his son Hunter's business dealings in Ukraine.

3. Didn't we already know this?

I remember reading an article about it weeks ago, stating that the WB met with a staff member, not Schiff himself.

4. Schiff just said it at the hearing Wednesday

One of the GOPers was saying that it wasn't fair or something that the only person who knew who the whistleblower was is Schiff. He patiently replied that he did NOT know.
How he kept from adding "You lying liar" I don't know.

5. I remember reading about it earlier, though.

Here's a link to a CNN article; it could have been this: https://www.cnn.com/2019/10/02/politics/whistleblower-intelligence-committee-complaint/index.html

Probably just needs to be restated to counter the nonsense about Schiff from Trumpers.
