Yesterday, the ICIG clarified that the old form is wrong regarding the law.
Office of the Inspector General of the Intelligence Community’s Statement on Processing of Whistleblower Complaints
they cite: 50 U.S.C. § 3033(k)(5)(A)
3033(k)(5)(B)
3033(k)(5)(G)(i)
If the IG's law citations are correct, the part of the form with ""Background Information on ICWPA Process"(instructions & explanations),that has the first hand knowledge explanation, is wrong.
Which can beg the question, why even have that checkoff in the first place.
I'll go check the citations but I'm guessing this avenue is dead.
Just a note: Even though it is claimed the WB checked off the first hand knowledge box,
There is nothing in the unclassified whistle blower complaint where he\she claims first hand knowledge.
