Is there anything that can be done to retroactively overturn the amended document which gave the entire incident legs?

An excellent question. Since Im 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 doesnt perform an investigation, it hold a trial. Trials have Rules of Evidence. Hearsay is not generally accepted as evidence and I dont 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.
