Graham should have immediately called in the IC IG when it was reported he changed the whistleblower regs to accommodate this seditious attack from inside the White House on POTUS. That he did not makes him a co-conspirator and no less.
ICIG took an issue outside of his jurisdiction, and this is obvious from the laws. Has nothing to do with relaxing policy on hearsay.
September 3, 2019 DOJ/OLC Opinion: Complaint to ICIG Atkinson is not "Urgent Concern"
OLC is controlling law for Atkinson. He just said he disagreed with it, so he wasn't going to follow it.
Not disagreeing that Atkinson needs to go, just that the exact reason is one of stepping outside of his lane, not one of taking crap evidence and advancing it.
