First hand knowledge was a requirement on the form. The current IC IG decided that it was improperly included on the form because the underlying statute didn't require first hand knowledge.
The IG, Michael Atkinson said second hand knowledge had always been acceptable to be considered a Whistleblower.

RE: First hand knowledge was a requirement on the form. The current IC IG decided that it was improperly included on the form because the underlying statute didn’t require first hand knowledge.
So, you are saying that there was NO MALICE on the part of the IC IG, that what he did was a simple matter of correction in order to make the form compatible with a pre-existing statute?
If this was simply a clerical error, then all the IC IG should say is this — “It was an oversight in the form, what I did was not a malicious attempt at backdating it, but to correct the form’s mistake”.
