Wow. This premeditated action by the Intel. Community is a CRITICAL development.

Where have we seen THIS before?

Remember when King Odunga enabled ALL Intel agencies to more widely SHARE information so as to make discovery of origins of the RUSSIAN HOAX more difficult?

The MODIFICATION OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR WHISTLEBLOWERS report is actually CRITICAL to understanding that this "whistleblower STUNT" was ANOTHER COUP ATTEMPT ON TRUMP and not merely an incident.

I suggest a JUDICIAL WATCH SUBPOENA for all the background documents and correspondence that was created during THIS particular forms revision. Let’s see who, why and when associated with this forms revision.


That will take forever. Look how fast the Dems got the acting DNI in front of cameras to smear POTUS and set the narrative. The Senate GOP could do the same with the obviously corrupt IC IG. I wouldn’t hold my breath waiting for that.

Of course, in light of the circumstances (PDJT) this was completely necessary for the common good, naturally.
The ‘Progressives’ know there will be no consequences if this action does not pan out. They’ll just change the names, dates and places and retry.

Who is the IG for this so-called community? Who changed the procedures unilaterally? Was there a memorandum issued to the entire “community” informing them of this change? Let’s see it.

It is not known precisely when the August 2019 revision to the whistleblower complaint form was approved, nor is it known which, if any, version of the Disclosure of Urgent Concern form the complainant completed prior to addressing his complaint to Congress.

Sounds to me like somebody needs to find that information.
Who approved the changes needs to be discovered as well.

Basic journalism...who, what, when, where, why.

Agreed. And WHO will submit the FOIA request? Judicial Watch, of course..

I expect Judicial Watch to unearth some really good stuff on this COUP ATTEMPT.

The current ICIG is Michael Atkison, a product of socialist enclave Cornel University, as well as Syracuse University
(scumbag Terry McAuliffe’s alma mater).

so the bottom line is that a low level administrative form was secretly changed to allow hearsay, sandbag trump lawyers, and give the house a pretense to conduct impeachment hearings.

at the same time, hillary is beginning to make noise about running in 2020.

(try to convince me that this is all not a coordinated dirty tricks political offensive.)

Our intel agencies are run by the Democrat Party, and their goal is to get rid of our President. They are not interested in anything else, apparently. Disband them and defund them. They are damaging our country.

Last time I checked the IC community is in the Executive Branch. Donald Trump is the head of the Executive Branch. Why he allows the IC people to work against him and We-the-People is beyond me.

Markings on the previous version of the Disclosure of Urgent Concern form show that it was formally approved on May 24, 2018.

The revised version with the complaint was upload in Aug. 2019.

Since Gina Haspel was sworn in on Monday, May 21, 2018 that means she is behind the change in some form or fashion. I personally think she has some explaining to do here.

Now this could be the basis for a Senate oversight hearing, but the GOP will just yawn and do nothing, I suspect.

Trump does not control the executive branch. mcconnel will not aprove Trump’s choices, he will only approve people from a pre-aproved list. That is my belief, and also why I believe barr will do nothing.

“….anti-trump whistleblower complaint filed in... August 2019.”

Which suggests that the intel agencies and the Democrats have been planning their impeachment roll-out for months. This is another dossier-type hoax and should be LOUDLY condemned by the voiceless Republican wimps in D.C.

Intelligence community changes whistleblower rules to eliminate requirement of firsthand knowledge in AUGUST 2019.

NOT "intelligence community." A specific someone proposed this change. The proposal would then have been circulated through a defined process with everyone in the decision matrix signing off. Then another specific someone, who has control of the form, made the decision.

Trump has been president for three years. His appointees should have been in the loop at every step. If this is another of the myriad corners of the bureaucracy being run by Actings and holdovers because Trump has been too busy tweeting to actually staff his administration, then … well, this is what you get.

Maybe there is another explanation. I'd like to know what it is. But in the meantime, we need to know exactly whose fingerprints are on this. NOT "the intelligence community." We need specific names.

The whole article is shocking and all the incorrect information that was in the document.
