To put this in plain language, a spy who spied on the president does not have a legitimate whistleblower complaint against that president under the law. The ICWPA is a mechanism to report alleged misconduct by members within the intelligence community, of which the president is not. Yes, the alphabet soup of intel agencies ultimately report to the president, but that does not make Trump a member of that community and subject to its rules of conduct.
So, it turns out that the whistleblower may not be a whistleblower at all. But you will not hear that from the mainstream media. They are too busy lighting their own hair on fire.
The IC is in the executive branch and is subject to the President’s scrutiny... the reverse is not true.
For years now, the IC runs spy operations against the President and has also done that to the House Intelligence oversight commission. They attack and work to discredit and subvert anyone who disagrees with their own anti-constitutional agenda. They conduct such work with their mockingbird media where they have cultivated imbeds for decades.
The unavoidable fact is that this is the behavior of a police state, not the republic we were designed as. They must be disbanded and the few legitimate functions that have turned over to the military under careful executive branch control.
The “whistleblower” obviously is a pos Democrat who is using a fake “complaint” in an effort to reveal confidential information for political purposes.
