Intelligence Community Inspector General Michael Atkinson, in testimony to House lawmakers about the whistleblower complaint on President Trump's controversial phone call with his Ukrainian counterpart, could not explain what accounted for the 18-day window between the July 25 call and the Aug. 12 complaint filing — or when exactly the whistleblower contacted a key Democrat's staff, sources familiar with the testimony told Fox News.
The whistleblower's contact with Intelligence Committee Chairman Rep. Adam Schiff's staff before filing the complaint in mid-August has prompted renewed scrutiny of Schiff.
The top Democrat previously said “we have not spoken directly to the whistleblower,” but his office later revised the claim, saying that Schiff himself "does not know the identity of the whistleblower, and has not met with or spoken with the whistleblower or their counsel" for any reason.

Or the complaint was filed and they said...no first hand knowledge...no luck.
So they worked with congress and had to change the rule based on advice from Schiff.
The whistle blower was raped by a teenage Kavanaugh!
The GOP Senate has a choice. Remove Trump and lose big.
Keep Trump and deal with him for 4 more years. And many of those senators were used to getting kickbacks to their family. On one hand they lose power & money and the other they lose only money.
Can he explain why the rule was changed and when?

Stop asking questions like that. You must be a xenophobe or a racist or something. Trump is guilty so stop asking for details and stuff. /sheldon
Perjury was committed. Where are the indictments?!?!
18 day window? Did anybody check Diane Feinswine’s drawers during that time for the complaint?
Maybe they referred him/her to Feinswine since she runs a legal referral agency from her office.
When you work for any government, you're not allowed to conduct any union or political work while on the job. I can't imagine these people didn't do their political conspiring on government time...like Page, Strzok and others did.
Does he/she like beer? That could really do them in.
Remember the HUGE role the media played.
The whole thing has got to be a violation of the civil service act. If not then they need to change the law.
Bingo!
They had to change the rule first
.....
You got that right.
At the time the complaint was written, the information was classified. The whistleblower’s attorneys wouldn’t have had security clearance to handle the information. Another violation of law.
I was a whistle blower once in the VA. It was not political but just plain damn bad procedure and treatment done in ignorance. I did not give my information under the whistle blowers act. I went to the director of the hospital with my information.
This is where the oddity happened. There was an internal investigation of which I was proved correct. Although not using the whistle blower protection I was considered a whistle blower though I wanted no anonymity nor requested such. I knew I was correct and stood full well with my name.
Then everything went silent. The error was very quietly corrected. If I were wrong I would have been fired with malice.
I guess I won. I kept my job and patients were protected from errors of judgement of pharmacy formulary decisions.
The VA was actually in great jeopardy of lawsuits due the ignorance of a local VA Hospitals senior staff and their bad decisions.
After this I went to night shift until retirement. I liked night shift. It was all mine and all my responsibility. If things went wrong which was rare, it was my fault. If things went right it was mine. Total responsibility is a good way to work. Management was glad I was on night shift as we both did not need to see each other and express mutual contempt. They knew I was a good pharmacist and also had little respect for them. It actually worked well for years until I retired. Relative to the VA we get pounded daily in the media. Some of this is very justified but much is not. The Docs, Nurses, Phamacists, Staff etc. do outstanding work. The real problem is as government workers they have too much protection in relationship to firing.
About 25% of the VA staff should be fired tomorrow. The remaining 75% would know full well if they do not perform with good work, they are next.
18 day gap vs Nixon’s 18 minute gap.
Notice how the term “Constitutional Crisis” isn’t being tossed around like it was during the Clinton Impeachment?
Been sayin the same! Put up or shut up...works for me
They needed 2-1/2 weeks to fabricate their story around the call, which was a nothingburger.
Hangings for Shifty and all his Demfriends.
