Breitbart ^ | Sept. 28, 2019 | Kristina Wong

The intelligence community between May 2018 and August 2019 secretly eliminated a requirement that whistleblowers provide direct, first-hand knowledge of alleged wrongdoings, according to a bombshell report on Friday by The Federalist.

The report by The Federalist’s Sean Davis raises questions about the intelligence community’s role amid a whistleblower complaint submitted against President Trump in August 2019, alleging he acted improperly when asking the president of Ukraine to assist in investigations into the origins of the Russia collusion allegations and alleged wrongdoing by Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden.

Davis’s report said a new whistleblower complaint form did not require potential whistleblowers who wish to have their concerns expedited to Congress to have direct, first-hand knowledge of the alleged wrongdoing they are reporting.....

Americans will soon find out Obama orchestrated all of the intel agencies lawbreaking on behalf of Hillary.

But will they ever face the fact that every one of their appointed and elected abrogated the Constitution on Usurpation Day, January 20, 2009, making all of the rest possible?

Find out exactly “WHO” And prosecute. Maybe they will spill who directed them to do this.

In the interim, file several whistleblower complaints against the person using hearsay .

Again, where was the GOP when this went down? Which ones of them signed off on it? Why didn’t they stop it because the darned sure knew what was coming down the pike.

Troubling that the DNI didn’t seem concerned about that.

I've wondered if Dan Coats had a roll in this hoax. The timing of his leaving overlaps this timeline.

Exactly. How hard can it be to find out who authorized this scam? Certainly, there has to be a signature of approval, if not, it isn’t valid.

So my neighbor wants me to move, and approves a sales contract but without a signature and then I am forced to move?

BREAKING: Adam Schiff sent a House Intel staffer to Ukraine during Aug 24-31 just 12 days after receiving the whistleblower complaint. This is the same week Schiff posted his Ukraine military aid tweet - Aug 28

Are you telling US that NO ONE can say when or whom changed the requirement?

This is total BS and I’m sick of this crap!

Sessions - useless!

Barr- Useless!

Hell they are all useless and they, the intel community, have already taken over the Gov and the President and CONgress and just used figure heads at this point!

Liberal Democrat Senator Frank Church nearly destroyed the CIA with his committee hearings in the 1970’s.

In reality something like that needs to happen about once every generation. Otherwise they get too big for their britches.

A Seinfeld Impeachment!

They raise a number of questions about the conversation and the unidentified “whistleblower,” but they manifestly do not demonstrate that Trump should be impeached.

Remember the running gag on Seinfeld that the whole show was about “nothing”? This is going to be a “Seinfeld impeachment”: it, too, is about nothing.

You are right. This is total BS and I am sick of it too! I couldn't believe my eyes when I read the report

It was The Federalist's Sean Davis who broke the story.

It is pretty detailed. Unbelievable!!!

“Didn’t Nancy take pictures of the horrible things that might have happened?”

While I have no direct knowledge of that, the seriousness of the charge demands a thorough investigation. We may need a special counsel.

This is an attempted coup. I hope the traitors in the deep state receive justice.
