My assertion was that the whistleblower stated on the form that he had direct knowledge, and he did so state.
You did say that in the first part of your comment....

The whistleblower stated on the form that he did have direct knowledge of some of the alleged acts and the IG agreed.
And then you said this...
He had direct knowledge. It doesn’t matter what the form says.
That isn't an assertion, that's a declaration, and an unfounded one at that.

You’re not arguing in good faith.
And you say that of me?

Search for this..."direct knowledge of certain alleged conduct". Think about that.
Not "direct knowledge of certain conduct"...
"direct knowledge of certain alleged conduct".

Let me simplify this for you.

It doesn’t matter what I think.

The WB said he had direct knowledge of some of the acts (for some bizarre reason you have an issue when I say alleged acts).

The IG determined that his claim in that regard was credible. In the IG’s judgment the WB had direct knowledge.

Given those two facts it doesn’t matter what the forms said and there would have been no benefit to anyone to have changed them.

I agree. However, what you say is a different matter.

The WB said he had direct knowledge of some of the acts (for some bizarre reason you have an issue when I say alleged acts).

Sorry, alleged conduct is not the same as alleged acts. Or do you not realize that?

In the IG’s judgment the WB had direct knowledge.

SO! Do you believe everything every government employee says.

I sure as hell don't.

Conduct manifests itself in acts.

No, but we’ve already established that it doesn’t matter what I think.

Or are you going to now pounce on the crucial difference between think and believe as if anyone would take it seriously.

If there was no actual action (acts) then conduct is irrelevant.
What are the acts?

No, but we’ve already established that it doesn’t matter what I think.
What we BOTH individually think doesn't matter.
FACTS matter.
Can you discern facts from fiction?

Or are you going to now pounce on the crucial difference between think and believe as if anyone would take it seriously.
Mr. Smith thinks he is the father of his children. Only Mrs. Smith knows whether or not he is.
Who will you believe?

Every time I hear the rehearsed, pre-disclaimer words being spouted “...the rank and file are all [Honorable], etc.”.

It reminds me of the rehearsed, pre-disclaimer “...is the religion of peace”.

If it was so, they wouldn’t have to repeat it constantly trying to make us believe it.

He can fire every one of these deep state coup conspirators. He can also prosecute them. Not doing so is leading to even more outrageous crimes by them.

That was my first question - why do those responsible still have jobs after this stunt?
