Atkinson appears to be an OKAY guy.

It appears there was discontent among the CIA agents about reporting an abuse. These CIA agents could have been democrat, Deep State actors pleading and cajoling the new boss, Atkinson, to change the rules for reporting. Atkinson, being a nice guy who wanted to make things better at the CIA, fell for those bastids’ complaints.

That is one scenario that may have happened. Deep State was very pervasive and persuasive at that time, the early days of the Trump administration.

You have it right....

From my gut to yours....

The complaint was dependent on the phone call on July 26th.

I would say that President Trump spoke to the new President of Ukraine AFTER receiving notes on the new Ukraine President and Biden and his son etc etc.

Now the President has an extraordinary memory BUT as soon as I saw Crowdstrike in the complaint, I knew he had notes in front of him.

Who put the notes together? I'm sure he already has a good idea who the whistleblower is.

Sounds like a variation of Nanzi Pelosi’s famous Wrap-up Smear tactic.

form was created on 9/24/19 and modified on 9/25.

If this is the case, and the form is basis for impeachment matter, it seems logical that both the form and the non-whistleblower issue could be stopped in their tracks by a Federal Judge. The form actually becomes the law.

Bite the bullet and rule that the law is unconstitutional.
Rule that the law cannot be enforced without taking the mens rea into account.
Hand down a directed verdict of not guilty.
Dismiss the case with prejudice, so that it cannot be refiled.
Instruct the Jury that it has the power to return a verdict of not guilty if they think that the law violates a just requirement of mens rea.
Dismiss the case without prejudice, which means it could be refiled. And,
Recuse himself, so that the case will pass to another judge.

Time to call in the Marines for mil tribunals!

Tyrannical despots never cede power willingly, nor peacefully.

Is there anything that can be done to retroactively overturn the amended document which gave the entire incident “legs”?
+++++
An excellent question. Since I’m not a lawyer I feel fully qualified to answer it. Here is what I think:

1. For the House of Representatives there would be no advantage to doing so. The Whistleblower law talks about the notification of a specific case to the Congress. That is a fait accompli at this point. You cannot reverse the fact that Congress has been notified.

2. For the senate, however, the rules must be different. The Senate doesn’t perform an investigation, it hold a trial. Trials have Rules of Evidence. Hearsay is not generally accepted as evidence and I don’t believe it would be in this case. So the Dems will need some solid evidence not just the rantings of some disgruntled CIA analyst. Good luck with that.

Speaking of whistleblowing:

Did Hunter Biden pay taxes on the “gift” of a diamond he received in China?

I almost wouldn’t mind this crap if it went both ways. Why can’t Republicans pull this stuff, too? What a bunch of weaklings...

the claim should have went directly to the Justice Department not to the ICIG. This matter was outside the IC jurisdiction. Schiff needed this to come to his committee

Well there ya go. It didn't have to travel at all.

We should start a go fund me for Soap on a Rope for conGreasecritters!

“””From my gut to yours....The complaint was dependent on the phone call on July 26th.”””


I agree with your gut reaction. (Just to clarify the phone call was July 25). Much of the whistleblower complaint dealt with issues that had occurred weeks and months before the July 25th phone call.

It is pretty obvious the CIA Deep States Operatives had been collecting damaging information on Trump and were waiting in the bushes to pounce at the first opportunity.

Keep in mind that on July 24, 2019 Mueller appeared before Congress and Mueller showed the world that he was an incompetent old fool.

On July 25, 2019 Trump pounces on the fact that the whole Russian Collusion narrative was killed and buried the prior day and he moves immediately to call Ukraine to let Ukraine know he still wants to get to the bottom of Crowdstrike.

Oops....I knew I had the date wrong after I posted it.

Nancy did not have the phone call or the complaint BEFORE she announced the inquiry.

The complaint is starting to sound more like Watergate....and points to Hillary.

I saw a timeline that says they had completed the analysis of the Ukraine funds on Sept 11th and they were released on the 12th. But I can't find it again... I'll keep looking.

Hunter received the three carat diamond from a Chinese energy tycoon.

But apparently "Hunter couldnt be bought" (cackle).

He said he gave it to an aide or somebody......and said "he didnt know" what happened to it.

"Thanks Hunter---my bank statement just came in. And Michelle loved the diamond from China."
