[Sarah Barracuda]

No matter who he hires they end up stabbing him in the back..but the big mistake he made was day 1, he should have fired every single person who ever worked for Obama, voted for Obama, shook Obama’s hand, was within 1,000 feet of Barack Obama..but he didnt, he kept some of those scum bags on and here we are..and another thing, Hillary Clinton belonged in JAIL, lock her up never happened..he let her slide so here we are

Do they have any idea how incredibly STOOOOOOOPID this makes them look?

EVERYTHING produced by the American IC is now followed by an asterisk (*).

Worthless bunch of criminals

I keep saying it over and over -HEARSAY that stands for nothing and has no standing. Think Kavanaugh.

I am gobsmacked at the level of conspiracy here. There are no doubt dozens of people directly involved in his treasonous attack on POUTS.

I am gobsmacked at the level of incompetency here. No wonder our intelligence community had been wrong on every major issue dating back to the fall of the Berlin Wall.

They Keep front loading these scandals only to be quickly exposed to being completely corrupt and incompetent. Our intelligence community is the laughing stock of the world.

And that's not good we are in a desperate situation here. The president can't trust anything they say because they have proven time and time again that the intelligence community is nothing more that a government version of fake news.

This revelation does explain one thing that has been bothering me all day: Why didn’t Joseph Macguire bring up the IC regulation that whistleblowers must have first-hand knowledge in the hearing with the House?? Well...he didn’t bring it up because the regulation was changed and there was no longer that requirement!

The article claims that the WB form was changed this month to allow WB complaints based on second hand knowledge. If that is true, it seems very convenient for never Trumpers in the spook agencies.

I did not watch every second of MacGuire's testimony, but I suspect nobody asked him about this.

The problem is that the law states that if the complaint is "urgent," it has to be turned over to congress. If we include hearsay evidence, how do you even determine if it is "urgent" or even credible in any way?

This month? This is the first sentence of the article at the link.

“Between May 2018 and August 2019, the intelligence community secretly eliminated a requirement that whistleblowers provide direct, first-hand knowledge of alleged wrongdoings.”
