FBI seeks interview with CIA whistleblower

FBI seeks interview with CIA whistleblower
Excerpt: Any investigation by the FBI into the issues raised in the whistleblower complaint has the potential to introduce a new wild card into the debate over whether to impeach the president over his Ukraine dealings. In late September, the Justice Department confirmed that Brian Benczkowski, the assistant attorney general in charge of the Justice Department’s criminal division, and an appointee of Trump, had reviewed the whistleblower’s detailed complaint the previous month and determined there was no violation of campaign finance laws by the president when he asked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to open up an investigation into the gas company that once paid Hunter Biden, the son of former Vice President Joe Biden, to serve on its board. As a result, Kerri Kupec, chief of public affairs, said the Justice Department determined that “no further action was warranted.” But that decision, a Justice Department official said, was limited only to the question of potential campaign finance law violations and not to any other issues raised in the whistleblower complaint. “It was a very narrow issue,” the official said.  [Isn’t THIS interesting? The FBI had ALREADY investigated the “whistleblower’s” complaint in August or September and determined there was no violation. Where was the mention of this during the Democrats’ Impeachment hearings? Still to come, no doubt. I wonder if this information had help getting to the news media? I’d bet a lot that it did. I wonder if the FBI will get to "interview" this guy. Ron P.]
