There have been multiple assertions by semimojo that the complaint filed by the WB. Eric Ciamarella, contained Direct Knowledge and not just hearsay, second hand, and third-hand evidence, that was furthermore found credible and also FOUND to exist by Intelligence Community Inspector (ICIG) General Michael Atkinson.
In actual fact, the ICIG only stated he found the complaint to be credible and of urgent concern, but also that found the complainant to be biased. He did not actually state he found the complainant had direct knowledge as semimojo has repeatedly asserted, which the ICIG Form-401 and regulations at the time of filing REQUIRED be present for the complaint to be accepted by the ICIGs office.
Toward that end, I have again gone through Eric Ciamarellas filed, and now de-classified, complaint line-by-line, allegation-by-allegation, seeking any allegation of Direct Knowledge by the so-called Whistleblower that would have justified the ICIGs acceptance of this complaints validity or credibility. I found not one single assertion, allegation, or statement that indicated Eric Ciamarella had direct knowledge of the events from his own observation of events, witness, or experience that justified in any way the adoption of this complaint.
I copied and pasted the source phrases Eric Ciamarellas, or the WBs, own words leading into to each and every allegation in the document so you can see for yourselves where he attributes his allegations:
- I have received information from multiple U.S. Government officials...
- ...more than half a dozen U.S. officials have informed me...
- I was not a direct witness to most of the events described.
- ...multiple officials recounted fact patterns that were consistent with one another.

Thats all of them. . . Not a single instance where the complainant, Eric Ciamarella, or the WB, asserts a single direct knowledge complaint. Its ALL hearsay, rumor, second-hand, third-hand, and innuendo based on absolutely no direct evidence except the obvious evidence of a desire to make trouble. Not once does the complainant say I saw, heard, or observed X. It is always I was told this by unnamed other persons. Hearsay, which is not admissible evidence in any court in the USA.
How could his allegations be found by the ICIG to be credible, much less within the ICIGs jurisdiction, given the very explicit statutory exclusions in the law, which the ICIG had to be very familiar, unless the ICIG was complicit in this script.
It is my assertion that the WB, Eric Ciamarella, committed perjury by checking off the box on the Form-401 claiming he had Direct Knowledge and not just second hand knowledge from co-workers, especially since the form warned that such second-hand knowledge and rumors was insufficient for the complaint to be accepted and would be rejected. He filed it under threat of perjury anyway with complete awareness and knowing he did not have any first hand information. It was deliberate. It was also deliberate that ICIG Atkinson accepted it, and then passed on a fraudulent complaint, even after his own career legal counsel, the DNIs determination, and the DOJs legal counsel ALL told him he could not do what he finally did, which was to send the complaint to Congress, to Intelligence Oversight committees which did not have authority over the President. It is my assertion this was scripted in advance by Adam Schiff-for brains.
There have been multiple assertions by semimojo that the complaint filed by the WB. Eric Ciamarella, contained Direct Knowledge and not just hearsay, second hand, and third-hand evidence... If you can find one of those assertions please produce it. I've tried to be careful to say that the WB claimed, by checking the germane box on the form, that he had direct knowledge.
You may be right that he perjured himself, I don't claim to know and if I got sloppy and wasn't clear enough I'm sorry.
He did not actually state he found the complainant had direct knowledge as semimojo has repeatedly asserted
Except for this part where he says:
"The Complainant on the form he or she submitted on August 12, 2019 in fact checked two relevant boxes: The first box stated that, I have personal and/or direct knowledge of events or records involved; and the second box stated that, Other employees have told me about events or records involved. As part of his determination that the urgent concern appeared credible, the Inspector General of the Intelligence Community determined that the Complainant had official and authorized access to the information and sources referenced in the Complainants Letter and Classified Appendix, including direct knowledge of certain alleged conduct, and that the Complainant has subject matter expertise related to much of the material information provided in the Complainants Letter and Classified Appendix.
I know it's a subtle distinction but when I say the ICIG claimed something I'm not attesting to the veracity of his claim.
It is my assertion that the WB, Eric Ciamarella, committed perjury by checking off the box on the Form-401 claiming he had Direct Knowledge and not just second hand knowledge from co-workers, especially since the form warned that such second-hand knowledge and rumors was insufficient for the complaint to be accepted and would be rejected. He filed it under threat of perjury anyway with complete awareness and knowing he did not have any first hand information. It was deliberate.
