No, even including and beyond the transcript. The transcript essentially corroborates the whistleblower complaint, and as the impeachment inquiry continues, testimony/disclosures from the various parties even further corroborate the complaint. But the Repubs have to continue this blind drivel, that the transcript refutes the complaint, when from the beginning it has strongly supported the complaint on most points. That's because when the Transcript was disclosed to the public, Trump - in his total orange buffoonery and idiocy - went on one of his patented marketing drives to label the transcript "perfect" - Trump must have called the transcript "perfect" some 30-50 times in tweets, during his rallies, in front of the press. He even lied about Moscow Mitch McConnell telling him it was "perfect" - which McConnell publicly denied ever doing recently to the press. Even toady McConnell won't stoop to such a stupid thing. So Trump has in effect painted himself into a corner with this - he nor his legal staff cannot ever now come back and declare contents of the transcript to be inaccurate. Not having made the document into such a "perfect" documentation of transpired events. So, all they can do now - along with the Trumptards like yourself - is to keep ignorantly, blindly insisting that the King is robed, instead of being the fat, buck-naked, orange idiot that he is.....

No, they actually belong there. They just dont have the proper documents.

You need to give them the necessary documents. Also destroy the buildings walls, they're racist.

You need to try a little better than that. LOL The specific Whistleblower statutes would be a good place to start.

From Michael Horowitz:

"These responsibilities support the ICIG’s conclusion that the protection of federal elections from foreign interference is squarely within the DNI’s “operations”. The legal authorities cited in his letter also support the ICIG’s determination that the whistleblower raised a claim of a serious or flagrant problem that relates to an intelligence activity within the DNI’s jurisdiction. It surely cannot be the case that the DNI has responsibilities related to foreign election interference but is prohibited from reviewing the cause of any such alleged interference.

We further note that the DNI has jurisdiction over the handling of classified and other sensitive information. As a result, the whistleblower’s allegation that certain officials may have misused an intelligence system also raises an additional claim of a serious or flagrant problem that relates to the operations of the DNI and therefore may properly be considered an urgent concern under the statute."

Accordingly, the matter is properly within the purview of the House Intelligence Committee.
