You could suggest that the whistleblower is Schiff's long-lost secret child, trying to please him by helping him take Trump down. Find me the cite where the committee says the whistleblower is Schiff's long-lost secret child! Try to move the goalposts however you like -- there still is not a shred of evidence that Schiff orchestrated the complaint.

You're just not thinking well at the moment.
The article said the committee was advised of the accusations before the filing. Ok, well, to what extent? Unknown, and relevant. (Unless you've a clinical definition for "bare contours").* The article said also that the committee did not receive the complaint or review it in advance. This means that the method by which it transferred information to Schiff regarding the complaint in advance of its filing must be a method other than
1. By email, text, or other document stating something about the accusations in the complaint;
2. By phone call; or,
3. By direct conversation, in person.
I don't know which it is, but by the committee's own admission, a call came in, and Schiff admits that subsequent to that call, but prior to the complaint's filing, he became aware of the complaint.* So when you say I'm making up the allegation that Schiff knew about the allegations in advance and could have coordinated to ensure that he could "discover" the complaint and make it appear a cover-up, you're talking out of your ass.
The more I think about it, the more I think this actually could've been coordinated, and coordinated very well. By calling committee, WB can tip it off to the complaint. Trump's people will of course seek to cover it up. Committee can then allege not only the crime but a cover-up. If they did that, that's pretty fucking awesome. They almost deserve to see a conviction for that kind of planning and execution.
