#BREAKING: The Ukraine whistleblower reached out to the ICIG on October 8th to clarify the nature of their contact with Democratic majority staff of the House Intel CMTE before the complaint was filed.
(Excerpt) Read more at twitter.com ...
well now he needs to testify....
According to the document, the whistleblower reported to the ICIG investigator that the [Congressional] committee staffer advised: "'Do it right, hire a lawyer, and contact the ICIG.' So that is what the COMPLAINANT did. At the time, COMPLAINANT did not even know what the ICIG was."So we are led to believe he didn’t know what the ICIG was, had to go to Congress to get an answer to that, just happened to wind up in the committee inquiring about impeaching Trump, didn’t discuss anything substantive with Schiff’s committee, and didn’t check the box “I talked to Congress” because that checkbox was unclear.The whistleblower felt that "[b]ased on getting guidance on a procedural question, and that no substance of the actual disclosure was discussed, COMPLAINANT did not feel, based on the way the form question was worded, that it was necessary to check that box."
"That box" refers to the whistleblower disclosure form, which requires a detailed accounting of who is aware of the complaint. The box for "Congress or congressional committee(s)" was left blank by the whistleblower.
If anybody buys any of that stinking load of crap, I’ve got a bridge to sell them.
Whistleblower Ciaramella: Congressman Schiff, I’m a little worried about this. I’ll do what you tell me to do and say what you want me to say, because I hate the President, but I could get in a lot of trouble if they find out what really happened.
Schiff: Don’t worry about it. You have nothing to fear. I’ll cover it all up and make sure they never find out about you.
WB Ciaramella: Congressman Schiff, I’m just a low level analyst, at least Vindman can get a little retirement out of it, if something happens and move to the Ukraine but I’ll have nothing and could end up in prison.
Schiff: I told you don’t worry about it. I’ll take care of everything. Look, I’m not those clowns at DOJ/FBI that were too stupid and lazy to cover their tracks. I’m a ranking member of Congress, they can’t do anything to me. I got this. Trust me.
WB Ciaramella: Ok, sir. I’m just really scared. I won’t last very long in prison and I don’t have the money for a $1500/hr lawyer to help if this thing goes bad.
Schiff: I got this. Don’t worry.
Yep.
One of those “ Chairman Schiff wants me to “ do it by the book” moments
The osc has a video....on whistleblowers. watch it to the end.
It’s called lying “under penalty of..........
Ciaramella has been described as a Career CIA Analyst, so you’d think he would know what the chain-of-command was, and if he had any questions regarding filing a complaint, that he would have gone to his immediate supervisor for guidance...not to Adam Schiff’s office.
This is a big clustered mess.
Now Rudy has a client who is going to expose him and says he has the smoking gun

The whistleblower, according to the ICIG, believed that “much of the information provided by him/her at the time of the urgent concern disclosure has now been overcome by more detailed information coming out in the press, or recent text message releases, which are beyond his/her original knowledge. Some of the dates of information being disclosed in the news do not match up with Complainant’s urgent concern disclosure.”
Am I reading that right
Yes. And he is going to have to throw people under the bus..as in name who told him the “urgent” information
Source?
Is it this story? https://www.10news.com/news/national/giuliani-associate-willing-to-tell-congress-nunes-met-with-ex-ukrainian-official-for-dirt-on-biden
This event happened in 2018! Quote from a related HuffPo article: “If true, Nunes would be the first member of Congress linked to gathering opposition research on President Donald Trump’s political rival from a former foreign official, CNN noted — and one with a score to settle with Biden, who had pushed for Shokin’s ouster.”.
So Nunes was wrong for investigating Biden as head of Intel Cmte, before Biden was a candidate? Is Biden forever immune from any scrutiny?
The msm will not give up this war, ever.
look at drudge..it will link it
Like him or not, VSGPOTUS has exposed a raging infestation of corruption in various locales, including DC, as well as abroad. We all see it now. He wouldn’t play ball and told the deep state handler(s) to F off.
I get this image of picking up a log as your clearing land for planting, only to find all kinds of bugs and snakes. Sort of like the guys in Texas who went to the basement for something and discovered what turned out to be 45, and, in another case, 60 rattlesnakes. (See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2kv1U06RxlI and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Rge_lnkVhE for videos of the men removing them.) How are you going to clear away the mess of bugs/snakes? Can you do it yourself? Who could help? What happens to the bugs/snakes? Who are the experts who can help? What’s the cost? What are the dangers to you and those you care about (OK, that last question is pretty near rhetorical)?
sheesh..i am not going to get that image out of my head while watching this mess unfold
he has mostly hired the wrong people..but were there ever any right people?
