Just to be clear: "without evidence" means there isn't any evidence, not that there is.

This would be clever, except I didn't say there was evidence Schiff "composed" the complaint. Trump said that, and there is no evidence of that. I said there's evidence Schiff "orchestrated" and "coordinated" with the WB. The WB reached out to his office in advance, so he knew the Complaint was being filed. This is evidence of both.
That undoes most of your second point. Now, let's undo the rest. From the PBS article:
The whistleblower who raised concerns about President Donald Trump’s dealings with Ukraine spoke to staffers on the House Intelligence Committee before filing a formal complaint, giving Democrats advance warning of the accusations of wrongdoing that triggered their impeachment inquiry.
If I give you advance warnings of accusations, it's highly likely - if not "inescapable" as you'd prefer - that I've told you what those accusations are. Or maybe I haven't. But again, this is evidence of possible coordination, or orchestration.

Why do you keep repeating Donald Trump's baseless claims when the truth has been reported? Why are you such a sucker for his lies?

I'm saying something entirely different than Trump. Trump is making shit up. I'm saying what any good counsel or PR person would faced with these facts: That there is evidence Schiff coordinated or orchestrated. Is it evidence likely to prove such a case? Who cares? The only measure that matters here is creating enough of a whiff of a set-up to create cover for the R Senators who are going to have to hold their noses during the acquittal.
And Schiff is a significant cause of it, intentionally or now (which is also immaterial). Someone else should be in charge of this, to neutralize that problem.
