AFTER this loser (PLANT) came forward with SECOND HAND INFO, Brennan and Schiff changed the rules to include Second Hand info.
There is no legal basis for hiding this CONSPiRATOR!!!!
The plan to use the impeachment avenue was tweeted out by (only coincidentally, of course!) CIArmella's lawyer Mark Zaid in January of 2017.
It's obvious the choice was to use a CIA operative so the Deep State would have cover of anonymity two ways, Whistle-blower laws and crime of outing a CIA person (as with Valerie Plame), the process crime through which Scooter Libby was able to be ruined.
As these pieces were coming together and being examined, it's clear someone noted CIArmella wouldn't legitimately be covered via the WB laws, so whoops! Presto, change-o!
I agree, the WB moniker should not apply to this cabal of conspirators. It has skewed due process as badly as Kavanaugh's demanded "guilty until proven innocent." The WB changes still deserve to be investigated and we may well see people that clearly welcomed job-firing offenses.
There’s no legal basis for hiding the WB, old rules or new. The form was not changed, always allowed second hand info. The instructions were changed, and crucially, the instruction that disallowed second hand info for “urgent” complaints, i.e. those complaints that Schiff gets and can leverage.
