If you read between the lines of the Acting DNI’s testimony that I watched all three and a half hours of a number of things become obvious. The DNI said it was clear to him the conversation in question was a matter of “Diplomacy” and hence not covered by the “Intel Whistleblower Law”. That is what he said. He took it to the Office of Legal Counsel and the Ethics crew. The FBI folks said the complaint was not relevant also because the “thing of value” did not exist. The complaint was going no where but the coup conspirators were not going to let it just die so they reacted in a way that revealed they were in on the scam from the beginning. A corrupt IG had already gotten involved and he wouldn’t let it die the natural death it deserved. This is the story the Brown SHirt Media won’t report.
ICIG Atkinson sent notice of the complaint to Warner and schiff straigtaway, knowing the complaint was out of his jurisdiciton. I would not be surprised if he also sent the complaint even though he knew it was a breach of executive privilege. Signs are he did send it.
