Between May 2018 and August 2019, the intelligence community secretly eliminated a requirement that whistleblowers provide direct, first-hand knowledge of alleged wrongdoings. This raises questions about the intelligence community’s behavior regarding the August submission of a whistleblower complaint against President Donald Trump. The new complaint document no longer requires potential whistleblowers who wish to have their concerns expedited to Congress to have direct, first-hand knowledge of the alleged wrongdoing that they are reporting.
The brand new version of the whistleblower complaint form, which was not made public until after the transcript of Trump’s July 25 phone call with the Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky and the complaint addressed to Congress were made public, eliminates the first-hand knowledge requirement and allows employees to file whistleblower complaints even if they have zero direct knowledge of underlying evidence and only “heard about [wrongdoing] from others.”
The internal properties of the newly revised “Disclosure of Urgent Concern” form, which the intelligence community inspector general (ICIG) requires to be submitted under the Intelligence Community Whistleblower Protection Act (ICWPA), show that the document was uploaded on September 24, 2019, at 4:25 p.m., just days before the anti-Trump complaint was declassified and released to the public. The markings on the document state that it was revised in August 2019, but no specific date of revision is disclosed.

Where the hell are OUR Whistleblowers, and please don’t tell me they’re gathering in some weird corner of the internet awaiting orders
More swamp rats.
The “intelligence community?” What legal standing do they have?

They do not have the authority to do that. Or should not.
More swamp rats.

Its an infestation.
I think so too. The excrement may be about to hit the fan.
Sort of like when things were changed so McCain and Obama could run for President.
So they legitimized gossip. That figures. Cluck, cluck.
Foghorn Leghorn for President!
We already know that the intelligence community is its own deep state government. JFK talked about it right before he was assassinated. That JFK speech is available on Youtube. Many people believe that his threat to expose them is why he was killed.
