The White House is reportedly distributing talking points to congressional Republicans to undermine the credibility of the newly released whistleblower complaint as “nothing more than conspiracy theories.” There’s just one problem: The whistleblower, who wasn’t even a direct witness to the events at the center of the Trump-Ukraine scandal, described the call between President Trump and President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine with high accuracy, according to what we know from the White House-released transcript of the call.

This suggests the whistleblower’s sources know what they’re talking about.
