It’s already been surmised that the document was written by partisan lawyers. No doubt the phony whistleblower was in contact with House Democrats via those lawyers before it was filed.
I can’t find any reference to that change. There are whistle blower laws for many organizations. ???????????
“””To me this is far more stunning because this conspiracy occurred INSIDE the Trump admin. Steele germinated in Obama’s White Hut and the Hillary campaign.”””
What this shows to me is how powerful the CIA and other Fed Departments believe themselves to be.
At this point these government pukes are relying upon the Democrat politicians to cover their back.
With Trump in charge these treasonous folks may find their Democrat friends may not be enough.
I talked to a DNI official and asked when these revisions were made and why. The official said the intelligence community would not comment on anything to do with the anti-Trump whistleblower.
I never mentioned or asked about the anti-Trump whistleblower.
Whoopsie.
The wheels are coming off.
This revelation does explain one thing that has been bothering me all day: Why didn’t Joseph Macguire bring up the IC regulation that whistleblowers must have first-hand knowledge in the hearing with the House?? Well...he didn’t bring it up because the regulation was changed and there was no longer that requirement! Yet he must surely have known that it had been recently revised, but to my knowledge he didn’t bother telling the House that.

The Deep State got a green light to “resist” from the bipartisan nature of campaign season Never Trumpism. That carried over into the Trump admin. We must hold the GOP equally responsible for this treason. Without top cover from them much of this never happens.
Who what when where and how, NOT why. Journalists should not be entrusted with the question of why. Who what when where and how are objective and why is interpretation. Journalists are all too happy that why starts with wh and is so easily appropriated because of that.
Yes, but it it seems that The Lawfare Group prepared the “whistleblower” complaint with the aid of somebody in the IC possibly under direction of Schiff. Then they found a Democrat, Trump-hating IC operative to bring the charge. It couldn’t have been hard to find such an IC operative.
What this tells us is that there is still LOTS of swamp that needs to be drained.
Lots of interesting stuff on twitter right now. This has a wiff of Rathergate, IMHO.

It’s also going to tell us a lot about the GOP. Their response or nonresponse to this wide ranging and treasonous conspiracy will speak volumes.
This should be reported more broadly and on television!
The GOP response so far is horrible. Some signing on for impeachment. Most silent. A few brave ones like Devin Nunes speaking up forcefully against the Democrats and the coup. The overall Republican response rates an F-.
Enemies within the gates, predominantly.
Some high level Poobah HAD to sign off on this!
Find and fire his ass and then restore the legal forms!
“Intelligence community changes whistleblower rules...”
Technically, they didn’t change the rules, since the rules are based on legislation and that legislation did not change. They just amended the form to obscure the rules so that they could pretend this one complaint complied with them.
This was a TOTAL set up, Obammie turned the ENTIRE government into a hit squad against his political opponents FBI, CIA, IRS, DEA, ATF, STATE this FIRST black POTUS destroyed the government, HE made this culture where ALL of this BS was OK and there would be NO CONSEQUENCES for misusing the department to punish his political opponents!!!
What a CF.
One other thing the GOP needs to ask for is other internal IC regulations that have been revised in the past year. Two reasons: 1. Look for any additional “laying groundwork” revisions to key procedures/forms/instruction documents, 2. For any other documents that have been revised this year, was the date in the footer a MONTH YEAR format like this new whistleblower revision (August 2019), or was it DAY MONTH YEAR like the previous revision of this same form, which was “24MAY2018”. Very interesting to me that they changed the date format in the footer of this new revision.
Yes, they changed the form. But does it now comply with the whistleblower statutes?
