NO it is NOT a red herring. Yes, the so called whistleblower used the same form as ever. But he did so under a new policy that let him report second hand information. AND let him report people outside the intelligence community.

Those 2 policy changes were instituted by Atkinson specifically to allow him to do this specific complaint.

He is a crook

Add the Spygate scandal to Coronavirus and no way the US government survives, not without a whole lot of corrupt people being prosecuted. We’re o going to go through this pandemic and return to more of that shit.

I would still like to know who he talked to about changing the whistle-blower rules to allow reporting of things that the whistle-blower did not have first hand knowledge of.

I would wager he was not fired for nothing.

Fake News. It was definitely NOT his ‘legal obligation’ to change the rules so that Ciaramella could file a complaint based only on previously NOT allowed hearsay, and also to process the complaint even though that also was NOT allowed when it pertained only to people outside his organization.

It's a workable template that can be used as many times as needed with enemies domestic and foreign with plausible deniability built into it.

Choking off citizens from each other/humanity as population reduction is carried out by any means necessary..

A word to describe them hasn't been introduced into the lexicon. They left "evil" in their rear-view mirror a long time ago. Super-criminal to the nth degree.

No, the WB said he had first hand information and checked that box on the form. The ICIG researched it and agreed.

There's a lot not to like about the whistleblower thing but the form change narrative is indeed a red herring.

If you want more detail read this.
