Per Catherine Herridge: IC Inspector General told lawmakers the whistleblower did not disclose contact w Schiff/Committee staff - so IG never looked into it. IG had no knowledge of it.— Shannon Bream (@ShannonBream) October 4, 2019
For anybody interested, I’m watching SEAL Team that I recorded a couple of days ago. Pleasantly surprised to see that CBS is airing President Trump’s ad regarding Biden corruption. I never thought I’d see it on a network channel.
Why stop at two “did nots”?
And oh yeah, I love that he spelled Adam’s family correctly :)
What’s it mean????? No knowledge of contact or no knowledge of allegation????
He will say staff is not Congress or committee member.
I want to know if the whistleblower sought out the Schiff or if Shiff sought out someone to be the whistleblower.
Catherine Herridge is what you would call a real journalist doing her job.
Other real journalists I can think of are Sharyl Atkisson, Sarah Carter, Laura Loomer, John Solomon, etc.
My suggestion for tomorrow’s NY POst front page headline:
WHISTLEBLOWER BLOWS IT
So, the “whistle blower” was in affect decieving the IG, because the “whistle blower” law requires the “whistle blower” to NOT speak directly to Congress before their claim is filed and reviewed (if they want the “whistle blower” protections of that law).
But since he - the “whsitle blower” defied the law, he should be fired, BECAUSE he defied the law, and in affect demonstarted he was a political operative, not a “whistle blower”.
Shiff should be removed from his committee postion altogether. He, not Trump, is an example of abuse of power and obstruction of justice.
The CONTACT, or if you will, the COLLUSION. It means the "whistleblower" worked with anti-Trump lawyers, Dem Congressional Staff, Intelligence Committee Chair Shiff, and others, to craft a complaint against Trump, and then submitted it as a standard IG Complaint of his own creation. The "whistleblower" did not disclose that he coordinated with Schiff and his staff, and the IG was not aware of the collusion.
At this point, the IG should WITHDRAW the complaint, and conduct an investigation.
Sorry, but the IG is in on the coup. Bet there’s a trail that shows he was helping to engineer this.
And ethics violation.
I dont understand. So, the leaker went to Schiff. Then went to the IG, but did not disclose he met with Schiff?
He lied, yes. But, what does this mean ? Thank you.
Shes always been my favorite at Fox. I dont watch the msm anymore. But, shes the most professional of them all. She has her facts straight. She speaks clearly and doesnt get caught up in sensationalism. Indeed- the best there is.
That horse left the barn. ICIG is a snake too. Now trying to save his own skin. He knows the WH isn't in his jurisdiction but alerted Schiff to create a "on the record" contact. DOJ/OLC had to deal with the situation too, and wrote an opinion that told ICIG Atkinson his conclusion was wrong. Atkinson told hiff about THAT, too.
Atkinson did all he could to get this in front of Schiff, and Schiff took it public.

I want to know who this leaker heard the info from. If there really is another person.
The changes to the whistleblower rules were because they wanted to use this hearsay. Charge them all with partisan abuse of power.
And wouldn’t he have to sign off on the form change allowing 2nd hand hearsay?
Yeah, it the link goes to Shannon Bream.
