The whistleblower reportedly went to the IC IG three days after Gordon’s resignation and three days before Maguire took over as acting DNI.

Sue Gordon’s subtle but significant Trump protest
August 9
Mr. President –
I offer this letter as an act of respect & patriotism, not preference. You should have your team.
Godspeed,
Sue

Her decision to memorialize her disappointment in a note is significant. Top government officials often resign voluntarily when the president no longer desires their service, but they generally don’t let it be known that they were forced out. It’s possible this is just Gordon’s personal disappointment boiling over, but you don’t write a note like that unless you’re trying to convey something. And it’s an especially conspicuous decision for a career intelligence officer, a job that is big on deference to authority and where notoriety is seen as something to be avoided.
It’s not difficult to read Gordon’s letter as a warning sign about where she fears the DNI might be headed going forward. ...
Rather is just appears to me that Maguire is not going to buy into the "company's" latest plot/op to give the impeachment idiots any ammo at all.Let them impeach Trump for nada, zip, zero and see how far they get.
As for the link to the Washington Post my guess is you used them not because you are in love with the WaPost as few of us are here on FR but due to the fact that they ironically committed a random act of journalism which does happen from time to time.
Once again they are not my favorite source but from time to time you might go there. Happens to me as well. Here's a clip from their link:
It’s not difficult to read Gordon’s letter as a warning sign about where she fears the DNI might be headed going forward. Trump has made little secret of his disdain for some of the intelligence community’s actions and conclusions,(like the Arab spring,Iran contra,isis,cia smuggling all over the world,and on and on) and Ratcliffe’s nomination clearly indicated Trump would like more of a loyalist in that job.(why wouldn't he?) What the drivebys do so often is leave out lots of key, important info like the fact that Trump was tipped off that Gordon is likely "deep state".She has all the wrong credentials for working with him and should be avoided at and and all costs.Her association with Brennan alone as his "special asst. to the director" should rule her out for any position in a trump administration,IMHO.
