Fine. But at least you seem to admit here that it is the IC IG that is the accuser and not the anonymous whistle-blower. If I’m reading you right here, I agree.
I agree here as well. Whomever revealed these details to him are likely who the IC IG spoke with for confirmation. First hand accounts, as required. Remember, the circle of people who were aware of the contents of this call were incredibly small. 12 people if I remember correctly. So identifying them would not be hard for the White House to do. They are not active WB’s so they have no immunity or anonymity from any internal White House review.
I would tend to agree here as well. Although, it does not appear that he is receiving the best legal advice at the moment. Rather, political advice. Or if he is receiving sound legal advice, he is ignoring it, as he builds the case for witness tampering to be added to potential Articles of Impeachment.
What possible point you think I would have for “spinning” that is beyond my understanding.
"In the process of reviewing and clarifying those forms, and in response to recent press inquiries regarding the instant whistleblower complaint, the ICIG understood that certain language in those forms and, more specifically, the informational materials accompanying the forms, could be read – incorrectly – as suggesting that whistleblowers must possess first-hand information in order to file an urgent concern complaint with the congressional intelligence committees. "
The ICIG’s Center for Protected Disclosures has developed three new forms entitled, “Report of Fraud, Waste, and Abuse UNCLASSIFIED Intake Form”; “Disclosure of Urgent Concern Form-UNCLASSIFIED”; and “External Review Panel (ERP) Request Form –UNCLASSIFIED.” These three new forms are now available on the ICIG’s open website and are in the process of being added to the ICIG’s classified system.
Well to be fair the Whistle blower act was in acted in 89. So if he is as old as most Trump supporters it means he was in his 50-60s in 89 so might of not been paying attention if Golden Coral was open.
No, I don’t see that the IC AG is accusing anyone of anything. It is his job to pass on the complaint if he finds it credible. That does not mean he has made some ruling that it is true, just that it is believable.
He is not a judge or jury.
His job is to pass on the report for others to handle. That’s the end of it for him.
Credible and urgent, as in true and corroborated. Everyone has followed the letter of the law, with the exception of the Acting DNI, who failed to follow the law as written.
The information has now been passed to the appropriate body, who has opened impeachment investigations to determine the full scope of the transgressions.
If Trump wants to confront someone, his beef is with the IC IG whom he appointed. The WB should no longer be involved in this at any length.
You mean the one that just got on the board of the Ukrainian energy company after Joe handed them a billion dollars and said they should increase energy production?
No reason. He knew.
