Floating a theory.
[EC] a Trump plant? Informant? Flipped?
Trump stages call with Zelensky. Nothing illegal, but enough in there to spark outrage.
BUT the outrage is over the exact same crimes the DNC/Ukraine actually committed in 2016.
Enter whistleblower. EC dangles juicy "dirt" in front of Schiff (just like Trump nudes - these are being referenced a lot lately).
Schiff bites, sparking outrage over the same crimes DNC/Ukraine committed in 2016.
The outrage needed to convince America of the real corruption.
Schiff knows he's caught. It was a trap. Why he won't call the whistleblower to testify.
