(Reply to Grimmy from previous thread that almost died in Festival. Q, did Ukraine phonecall “whistleblower” (Leaker) violate the law:)
To: Grimmy
I don’t know, not being a lawyer.
Here is a link to the Office of the Inspector General Whistleblower how-to:

Snip....
“In addition, section 8H of the Inspector General Act sets forth a detailed process for employees in the Intelligence Community, including FBI employees and employees of FBI contractors, who intend to provide classified information to Congress. Prior to initiating a report of classified information under section 8H of the Inspector General Act, the employee should carefully review the Inspector General Act’s provisions or contact the OIG Whistleblower Protection Coordinator for additional information.”
If A Shiff knew of the complaint before it was reviewed it sounds like a classified information was transmitted outside the IG chain of custody. A violation I think.
In addition, I saw this “A Report to the President and the Congress of the United States” It is from 2010. ((I posted it on another thread)
by the U.S. Merit Systems Protection Board

“To make the discussion of whistleblowing easier in this report, we will define a violation of any law, rule, or regulation; gross mismanagement; a gross waste of funds; an abuse of authority; or a substantial and specific danger to public health or safety as “wrongdoing.”11 We will describe a person who seeks to disclose wrongdoing as a “potential whistleblower” and a person who is actually protected under the law, complete with jurisdiction to have a claim of retaliation heard by the U.S. Merit Systems Protection Board, as a “protected whistleblower.” As this report will demonstrate, not every potential whistleblower is protected under the law”......
“What constitutes a Whistleblower?”...(excerpt—see entire list)
Prohibited by Law or Executive Order
.....”Prohibited by Law or Executive Order”
If, in the course of making a report of wrongdoing, the potential whistleblower makes a disclosure that is specifically ordered by law or Executive Order to be kept secret in the interest of national defense or the conduct of foreign affairs, then the disclosure is “prohibited by law” and the report of wrongdoing will not be protected unless it is to the agency’s Inspector General, to “another employee designated by the head of the agency to receive such disclosures” or to the Office of the Special Counsel.69 If the disclosure is not subject to such a prohibition, then the disclosure is not limited to these three parties and reports to other recipients, such as the media, may be protected. This makes the meaning of “prohibited by law” rather important.
The reason the complaint was initially sent to DOJ was to determine if executive privilege applied...
As I read this the A.Shiff-puppet POTENTIAL whistleblower reported something relating to the conduct of Foreign policy
which is prohibited by law and should not recieve any legal protection.
I think that Trump needs to get Gina H. to revoke the altered form re 2nd hand info unless there was some change to law that allowed it.
Anyway, my U.S. Citizen notesq. view of it.
