Atkinson “swerves” at the pleasure of the president. What he did was a crime.
It seems to be simple open and shut.
He changed a form to include hearsay to get a result he could not otherwise obtain, putting the process of complaint outside the rules of evidentiary probative value. Its just a way to defraud government. And such fraud is criminal.
