ashington (CNN)The intelligence community inspector general is forcefully pushing back against assertions made by President Donald Trump and several Republican lawmakers about the whistleblower complaint that has rocked Washington in recent weeks.
In a rare statement released Monday, the inspector general addressed a false claim pushed by Trump and some of his allies on Capitol Hill, including House GOP leader Kevin McCarthy of California and Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, that the whistleblower lacked firsthand knowledge of the conduct outlined in the complaint and therefore the allegations were based on "hearsay." But the statement from the inspector general made clear that the whistleblower was not simply communicating secondhand knowledge.

This article states there was 1st hand information. I saw none.
Graham is planning on having Horowitz testify before his committee when the report comes out, expected in a couple of weeks.
Of course...to my point, it is CNN. They have dropped all pretense of being a news provider and are simply Leftist advocacy.
For years, I have not, and do not now, regard anything from CNN as worthy of even a glance. If they told me a tornado was ripping through downtown Washington DC, I would refuse to believe it until I had collaborating evidence.
It's true, that is something Hitler or Hitler's lawyer or Hitler's son would do. But nobody is going to believe the boy who cried Hitler.
It is eminently obvious the ICIG is a direct party to this Coup Part Two. It is furthermore evident the ICIG believes he is immune from prosecution/retribution for this Fraudulent assertion and second attempt to take down a Duly Elected President.
The Deep State is in frantic / panic mode. They are desperate and are resorting to desperate measures. And in their desperation they are making critical errors.
In the end their Treasonous Actions desperate actions will be the rope that hangs them.
All that is needed to see to this is, OUR Perseverance.
WE have to have President Trumps Back all the way to the end. He left a very comfortable life to take on The Swamp for US.
We Must have his Six.
I also believe it is Adam Schiff and there is NO whistleblower!!!
You understand; this firsthand rule has not only been changed ONCE since MAY (to include secondhand info-—another box has simply been added on the submittal form which by its presence allows 2nd hand info) it has been changed TWICE since May, the second change has to do with including the President within the Intel community.

If the Democrats told me it was raining outside, I go out and see for myself. The leadership and probably most of the Dem members of congress should be clinically defined as pathological liars.
And it is maddeningly absurd we are still talking the "allegations" of what President Trump said in the call seriously when we have the transcript of the call and know exactly what he said.
This whole charade was predicated on the actual contents of the call not being known. President Trump released the transcript, but undeterred, they just spend some time lying about the contents of the transcript, then go back to the original plan about the "allegations" of what he may have said as if the transcript was never released.
I guess the argument is that he had first hand knowledge of second and third hand information.
Great movie.
Nothing.
The Conservative Treehouse is all over this.
“Michael K Atkinson was previously the Senior Counsel to the Assistant Attorney General of the National Security Division of the Department of Justice (DOJ-NSD) in 2016. That makes Atkinson senior legal counsel to John Carlin and Mary McCord who were the former heads of the DOJ-NSD in 2016 when the stop Trump operation was underway.”
The lawyer for the plotters of the coup is now the Intel IG. Damn convenient.
The previous ICIG said he was run out by Diane Feinstein because he wasnt partisan.
Diane Feinstein raised like $90 Million (and counting) to have Fusion GPS continue (further continue) its Investigation and fictional writing of Trump.
If you believe the IGs are independent, you are extremely naive.
Another Trump-only Policy, they remove the names of guilty Conspirators when they reluctantly, belatedly are forced to report years down the road.
The New Trump Policies are Get Trump Policies.
they read the paper firsthand and failed to steal the transcript firsthand
>If they are CIA, FBI, DOJ or State dept employees, they are co-conspirators in the democrat/deep state coup attempt. In fact, if they are govt employees or contractors of any dept they are co-conspirators. Spying on the president and or leaking his private conversations is illegal and makes them co-conspirators to treason.
Let the construction of gallows begin
#5. Don’t know why the name Sue Gordon is being whispered in corners. I dated a Sue Gordon back in the 60’s and if it weren’t for the fact that she was older than me, I would have married her on the spot. Probably the wrong Sue Gordon but I bet mine was prettier and smarter (working on two BA degrees at once before going onto an MA).
Just a little tidbit of the secret life of Mad Max.
Real whistleblowers, like Julian Assange, Seth Rich, and Edward Snowden, get exiled, prosecuted, or murdered.
This is no whistleblower. He or she is just another Deep State stooge fighting the will of the American patriots who put Trump in office.
They reject representative government through voting as a flawed system where people too dumb to know better choose their government. They have decided that they should have this power for themselves because they know better.
We disagree. And I, for one, am willing to die on this hill.
We have a nation with a government by the consent of the people.
The treacherous left is trying to steal our nation—our rightful heritage.
I, for one, do NOT consent.
If anything happens to my president, it will be war.
Wanna bet this fake IG is yet another McCain acolyte, like the “ethics” one months ago who called for Kellyanne Conway’s firing?
