Expert on whistleblowing is mightily impressed, thinks this is one genius whistleblower. Compares Mueller.
By Kris Kolesnik @ TheHill.com, Sept. 27, a 34-year veteran of federal government oversight. He spent 19 years as senior counselor and director of investigations for Sen. Charles Grassley (R-Iowa). Kolesnik then became executive director of the National Whistleblower Center. Finally, he spent 10 years working with the Department of the Interior’s Office of Inspector General as the associate inspector general for external affairs.
Comments
More praise here, along the lines of being finely crafted to deflect spin:
The Integrity of the Trump Impeachment Inquiry
A clear and detailed whistle-blower complaint may help defend the process against the torrent of spin and lies that the President and his allies will surely continue to issue.

Whistleblower style guide (not dense and vague and inconclusive like Mueller?)

Graham is just covering his ass. If the the trump machine can't make it go away, he will be the first to be surprised at the "new" evidence that makes it all real.
Graham is the canary in this particular gold mine.
I really need to see someone about my ever increasing desire to mix metaphors.

Like a good martini, I'm stirred, but not shaken. Were you a Tom Mix fan too? Less a metaphor than a symbolist - "How the West" was one. I'm pretty sure with this crew they'll snuff the canary & steal the gold, but maybe there's a hero like Tom to track that marauding train down.

We will see.
But I am guilty as charged. Mix has it right. But I try to hold back to some degree.
You see, there is no conclusion to any story when one goes too far along that path.

I'm more into mix tapes than mixed metaphors.
