Intel Community Secretly Gutted Requirement Of First-Hand Whistleblower Knowledge

Between May 2018 and August 2019, the intelligence community secretly eliminated a requirement that whistleblowers provide direct, first-hand knowledge of alleged wrongdoings. This raises questions about the intelligence community's behavior regarding the August submission of a whistleblower complaint against President Donald Trump. The new complaint document no longer requires potential whistleblowers who wish to have their concerns expedited to Congress to have direct, first-hand knowledge of the alleged wrongdoing that they are reporting.

The brand new version of the whistleblower complaint form, which was not made public until after the transcript of Trump's July 25 phone call with the Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky and the complaint addressed to Congress were made public, eliminates the first-hand knowledge requirement and allows employees to file whistleblower complaints even if they have zero direct knowledge of underlying evidence and only "heard about [wrongdoing] from others."

The internal properties of the newly revised "Disclosure of Urgent Concern" form, which the intelligence community inspector general (ICIG) requires to be submitted under the Intelligence Community Whistleblower Protection Act (ICWPA), show that the document was uploaded on September 24, 2019, at 4:25 p.m., just days before the anti-Trump complaint was declassified and released to the public. The markings on the document state that it was revised in August 2019, but no specific date of revision is disclosed.

True. Kinda sloppy. Hearsay is now ok for whistleblower complaint, policy changed. First hand of witnessing not required. Go with “White House official who’s not named”

Days later “White House officials told me trump broke the law and covered it up by securing comms with foreign president”. I blow whistle with new form.

I’m peach mint!  We got him now!

What a bunch of horseshit. I pray trumps team has a plan for this and swampy shit gets blown into orbit. This is flat out sedition and treason.

so anyone can now claim they read something on nyt or washpo, even if it is false, or some white house official (current or otherwise) on a talk show, and report it in a whistle blowing complaint, and it would have to be investigated

that is why they worded so much of the complaint with heard from, and read.

Member how fisa warrants to spy on trump used media reports as sources for intel?  Like a self made approval loop. Aka...serious conflicts of authority. I forget the accounting/auditing term for it.  I private world this is a huge no-no.

Since when has constitutionality ever stopped them.

Their media will excusify anything.
Their Hawaii Judges will sign off on anything.
Their base will believe anything.

The first limit they've ever seen is working class voters flopping on them to vote in the PussyTape guy -in some part because we knew it was a collective bitchslap to the idea that they have unchecked power.

We took away the one thing Hillary always wanted and felt entitled to.

If they could actually muster the votes to do it, no.  But they won't.  Likely they won't even actually try to do it once -- the prospect of President Pence should be absolutely terrifying to them.  He makes Trump look like a left wing communist.

I didn't think Pelosi was an idiot before this.  Unfortunately for the dems, she's allowed the communist wing of the democrat party to essentially dictate terms to her, and in so doing she has probably lost the house as well as not being able to get the Senate in the next election, and as a bonus she's likely gotten four more years of President Trump while she enjoys retirement or being the minority leader -- if they will even vote for her for that position again.

If they can remove T$, they'd also then get rid of pence.  Since it's a deep state coup.  Then do they get Nancy as president?  Again, all hypothetical, wou!d that then get Nancy in?

In the hypothetical that they could do that, yes.

But they simply can't.  Pence is more dangerous to them than Trump.  This is posturing for the election, and they've badly miscalculated.

Something you all are forgetting here -- if there's an impeachment, then there's a trial in the Senate, presided over by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, and then Trump -- represented by Giuliani most likely, gets to put the democrats on trial for his defense.  How do you think that's going to turn out for the dems?  Keep in mind you need close to 20 Republican senators to turn, and that's career suicide for many of them.  They simply won't do it.

There will never be a secret ballot for an impeachment in the US Senate.  It will simply not happen.

so anyone can now claim they read something on nyt or washpo, even if it is false, or some white house official (current or otherwise) on a talk show, and report it in a whistle blowing complaint, and it would have to be investigated

that is why they worded so much of the complaint with heard from, and read.
Basically, I guess the NYT wrote the new policy.
Sounds like they were just looking for a way to wrap something "official" sounding around their unfounded lies, yet still be shielded from any legal entanglements.

This is a plot by the former inhabitants of the DNI's office to overthrow the president. It's a CIA agent's fraudulent complaint, made in conjunction with willing co-conspirators at the highest levels of government with the assistance of the democrat party, and their elected officials.

It's sedition at the very least, and a violation of their oaths of office to protect and defend the constitution.

They are the "domestic enemies" of our nation. And, ironically, they announced that the penalty for treason should be death.

The CIA has been infiltrated by the deep state, and can not be trusted. It has to be shut down, and it's functions absorbed by other agencies. As for the democrat traitors, we have a judicial system that does not function, riddled with DS operatives and dependent on a jury pool of minority voters in Washington, D.C., all democrats. No chance of Justice there.

Military tribunals for treason. It's the only way to repair the damage and provide Justice.

Watch,  they chage the policy back to the original when a D is elected.

Which is exactly why Comey (and crew) bypassed people like you when they "up-voted" the dossier outside normal channels.

Devin Nunes was trying to tell us once upon a time that the stuff about "Trump and Russia" got into whitehouse Presidential briefings. Unless I'm mistaken, if I am someone chime in please.

Reminder: on and about russia they had fucking nothing. Literally nothing. If they had anything at all, we would have seen it. They spied on him, tried to push pull information, AND got special investigations. Nothing. They spied on him period. Years later we have still yet to see anything compelling enough to even start an investigation to begin with.
Their hope is that they would have found some other crime and impeached him for it.
We got Stormy instead.

If they found ANYTHING this all would have gone away.
They didn't.

Seems as though Trump is the cleanest person in all of politics. All he’s ever done is grabbed a pussy or two, with permission.

One of the most frustrating things about this is knowing how different the media reaction would be if this kind of stuff was being carried out against Obama by Bush era people.

It'd be treated as a 'Graphite on the rooftop' level event, the biggest political scandal in the history of the US and possible the world.

they need 20 Repubs in the Senate to join every Dem/Ind to convict...

20 is not a huge number when you figure Never Trumpers,  weak GOPe, open border Chamber of Commerce lackeys,  and those that can be blackmailed or otherwise compromised...

Yea...it is not an insurmountable number...
