“””The Intelligence Community Inspector General (ICIG) is Michael K Atkinson. ICIG Atkinson is the official who accepted the ridiculous premise of a hearsay ‘whistle-blower‘ complaint; an intelligence whistleblower who was “blowing-the-whistle” based on second hand information of a phone call without any direct personal knowledge, ie ‘hearsay‘.
Michael K Atkinson was previously the Senior Counsel to the Assistant Attorney General of the National Security Division of the Department of Justice (DOJ-NSD) in 2016. That makes Atkinson senior legal counsel to John Carlin and Mary McCord who were the former heads of the DOJ-NSD in 2016 when the stop Trump operation was underway.”””
Michael K Atkinson certainly is giving off the smell of impropriety.
Michael K Atkinson is dirty!!!!
It is standard practice for an incoming administration to immediately place schedule C employees in all departments to watch and report to the political affairs director in the White House. Actions of any sort by suspected hostiles are vetted with extreme prejudice by OMB including any change in regulations or forms.
On personnel policy Trump is an idiot. He has appointed his enemies, given free run to hostiles, and never created any semblance of proper vetting.
That is why this stuff never happened under Clinton or Obama. You would have been fed to the dogs.
Sometimes I think Trump likes being dissed and spat upon. He enjoys playing the victim. If his personnel fiascos of his first term is any indication, his second will be a doozey.
Is there anything that can be done to retroactively overturn the amended document which gave the entire incident “legs”?
excerpt from CTH piece for discussion purposes only connect dots from dirty michael atkinson...to dirty John Carlin & dirty Mary McCord & the illegal FISA warrants they signed off on for Carter Page, et all take a read:

“Michael K Atkinson was previously the Senior Counsel to the Assistant Attorney General of the National Security Division of the Department of Justice (DOJ-NSD) in 2016. That makes Atkinson senior legal counsel to John Carlin and Mary McCord who were the former heads of the DOJ-NSD in 2016 when the stop Trump operation was underway.”

“Put another way, Michael Atkinson was the lawyer for the same DOJ-NSD players who: (1) lied to the FISA court (Judge Rosemary Collyer) about the 80% non compliant NSA database abuse using FBI contractors; (2) filed the FISA application against Carter Page; and (3) used FARA violations as tools for political surveillance and political targeting.
Yes, that means Michael Atkinson was Senior Counsel for the DOJ-NSD, at the very epicenter of the political weaponization and FISA abuse.
Immediately after the Carter Page FISA warrant is approved, in the period where DOJ-NSD head John Carlin has given his notice of intent to leave but not yet left, inside those specific two weeks, the National Security Division of the DOJ tells the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) they have been breaking the law. The NSD specifically inform the court they are aware of contractors who have been using FISA 702(16)(17) database search queries to extract information on political candidates.”

smells like the phony Crossfire hurricane gang & their FISA scam
