The coup attempt continues. Wonder if these SOBS realize the full ramifications if they are successful.

[rockinqsranch]

Reading this my take is the ICIG under pressure from Schiff, and a host of other left wingers within CIA changed the rule so the complaint could be released to Schiff.

Regardless Schiff will be found ultimately to be behind the mechanics of this outrage IF WE are looking for a point of blame.

[1Old Pro]

The way the complaint was written, this mole was working with this army of Dem lawyers for weeks, if not months.

[Jeff Chandler]

So the Inspector General changed the rules in order to specifically target the president.

[beekay]

The ICIG is Michael K. Atkinson. He was an Assistant United States Attorney for the District of Columbia from 2006 through 2016. He had previously worked for the U.S. Department of Justice for over fifteen years. He earned a Juris Doctorate from Cornell University and a Bachelor of Arts from Syracuse University.
You may draw your own conclusions.

The ICIG in its press release also failed to disclose when precisely its whistleblower forms and rules were changed, despite top lawmakers on oversight committees in both chambers specifically requesting that information. ,

WHEN WAS IT CHANGED!!?

What Day? What Hour? Who directed the change? Why the change?

[Magnum44]

This whole thing was cobbled together as a knee jerk response to the fact that Barr’s investigation is getting close to dropping a hammer. The wheels are going to come off this whistleblower wagon pretty quickly, IMO.

[Robert DeLong]

Michael Atkinson is the ICIG

[eyeamok]

the ICIG also explicitly admitted it changed its policies because of the anti-Trump complaint

When did this happen?? If they admitted this then ARREST the IG for

18 U.S. Code § 241. Conspiracy against rights

[glorgau]

The anti-Trump complaint that was released last week, which congressional Democrats are using as the basis for impeachment proceedings against the president, is riddled not with evidence directly viewed by the complainant, but repeated references to what anonymous officials allegedly told the complainant: “I have received information from multiple U.S. Government officials,” “officials have informed me,” “officials with direct knowledge of the call informed me,” “the White House officials who told me this information,” “I was told by White House officials,” “the officials I spoke with,” “I was told that a State Department official,” “I learned from multiple U.S. officials,” “One White House official described this act,” “Based on multiple readouts of these meetings recounted to me,” “I also learned from multiple U.S. officials,” “The U.S. officials characterized this meeting,” “multiple U.S. officials told me,” “I learned from U.S. officials,” “I also learned from a U.S. official,” “several U.S. officials told me,” “I heard from multiple U.S. officials,” and “multiple U.S. officials told me.”

Looks like a little team got together and set the whistleblower up as a patsy to get him to blow his cover. Very nicely done.

"...several U.S. officials told me..."

This stands out to me the most. Why would "several" people tell this person anything about Trump's communications? What does this "whistleblower" do?

[mom.mom]

Is the “whistleblower” a real person?

[Sacajaweau]

If that isn’t an admission of a conspiracy, I don’t know what is.

Michael Atkinson, the politically corrupt ICIG..

[Bryan24]

I work as a contractor for the government. The government bureaucracy LIVES for keeping up with forms and form revisions.

I can guarantee you there is a filing cabinet with a folder that has an original copy of that form, with a cover sheet with a list of the revisions and a list of approval signatures with dates.

[TigersEye]

A damning admission! The Deep State is now openly committing sedition.

[Widget Jr]

From what I understand, it looks like someone retroactively changed the rules and the form to allow the complaint. When both the complaint and the rule change are outside the scope of the ICWPA.

If this happened then someone in our intelligence services committed criminal acts. Once again, the facts implicate the accusers more than the accused. Not that the news will explain this.

[castlebrew]

Looks like another smear attempt going down in flames!

Like the Keystone Cops. So blinded by their hate, and in such a scramble to depose President Trump, that they can’t even work up a ‘close-enough’ fake form.
