Yeah, that’s the ticket!
Hearsay. Usually inadmissible in court. But this is Congress we’re talking about.
Guess a special counsel now needs to be appointed to look into the IG and the whistleblower!
“most”
This is degenerating to the point where none of the coup plotters can keep their stories straight.
Excellent!
The IG is not making such a claim, he is reporting what the WB stated, which is quoted in the article, but who also checked BOTH boxes stating that they had both firsthand and hearsay information:
“The IG said the whistleblower stated on an initial form Aug. 12 “that he or she possessed both first-hand and other information.””
Michael Atkinson is an Obama appointee. Deep state all over him.
.... Note ..... If you read his statement ..... He says that he was not a direct witness to .... "Most" ... Of the events .... Which indicates he was witness to at least one of the events .....
The ‘first-hand’ knowledge seems to be an analysis of aides reactions to his query on the matter. But the aides all remained UNNAMED, anonymous and hearsay. This is what the ‘first hand’ box was checked for. Then another version of the complaint showed the box unchecked.
UNAUTHORIZED, UNCLEARED person or persons are listening in on Trump's phone calls and they're trying to CONCEAL this fact by initially claiming the 'whistleblower' had SECOND-HAND knowledge of the contents of the call, whereas in reality this person is LISTENING TO TRUMP'S PHONE CALLS FROM THE WHITE HOUSE!
Could even be someone in the UKRAINE who gave a transcript of the call to a DemonicRat in the U.S.
So, either way laws were broken by this 'whistleblower' and he or she is a criminal. If Trump's calls are being listened to from a REMOTE LOCATION, it's time to raid George Soros house, John Brennan's basement, or Obama and Jarrett's basement. A LEAK might have come from the Ukrainian gov't, however.
THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES HAS EVERY RIGHT TO KNOW WHO THE WHISTLEBLOWER IS AND I AM TIRED OF PELOSI AND SCHIFF TREATING TRUMP LIKE A SECOND CLASS CITIZEN!!!
The assertion is, apparently, that the whistleblower has first hand information of the regulations, the process, and of activities in the Ukraine. This is a joke. The real question is, who are the co-conspirators and who they colluded with to concoct this nonsense. This fantasy is of the same ilk as the Russian Collusion and the Christine Blasey Ford blatant lie. They don’t know how to do anything else.
This SJW Inspector General always lies.
Who the f is this IG another Obama Brennan appointee?
Those goalposts have no clue where to go, do they?
The ICIG is obviously a deep state rat scum bag like most of the CIA are. Intel should be a military thing.
Well since this slanderer has no actual first hand knowledge they need to name their supposed colleagues that do so that they can give first hand evidence to support the accusations or the whole farce should be dropped.
The IG is def a co-conspirator! I heard he took 14 days to verify WHAT??? Obviously he didn’t inspect a damn thing and should have been fired the day he was outted as being a fraud Inspector!
