... the ICWPA only applies to a statutorily defined “urgent concern,” which ... required the allegations to concern “a serious or flagrant problem, abuse, violation of law or Executive order or deficiency relating to the funding, administration, or operation of an intelligence activity within the responsibility and authority of the Director of National Intelligence involving classified information but does not include differences of opinions concerning public policy matters."
There's one scenario where this actually WOULD be considered a matter involving "national intelligence activity" ...
Joe Biden has been a CIA operative for more than 50 years.
Because of this TRAITOR, America was fixated on
avoiding coronavirus.
HE SHOULD BE INDICTED, TRIED, and then JUSTICE DELIVERED
for the thousands now dead because of HIM.
Before the dust settles, Atkinson will be adjusting his furniture at Lawfare or another DC law firm.
Good riddance.
If I’d been POTUS, I would not have fired him; I’d have had him shot.
OUT THE LYING POS WHO STARTED IT ALL.
Oops! Editor, wake up!
I have a feeling he is being severely blackmailed.
He deserved to be fired, and Trump fired him, it’s called winning.
The Democrats knew that what they were doing was fraudulent which is why they gave the lead to the Intelligence Committee. They knew that there was a risk that something could go wrong, and the Intel Committee could use their power to mitigate such an event.
Atkinson is in legal jeopardy and when he goes down, Schiff and Eric Ciamarella will go down with him. The usual suspects on FR will disagree. Draining the swamp with only a bucket and a collander is tough, but the Democrats crafted our laws just in case someone tried to clean up the place.

Odd the Cleveland’s article does not even touch on Atkinson’s 100% failure as Chief counsel of the DoJ’s National Security Division to insure the Constitutional rights of American citizens by reviewing FISA applications. Of 29 FISA warrants examined as a sample by IG Horowitz, Atkinson failed to do his job 29 times. Whether consistently incompetent or corrupt, it was past time to give Atkinson the boot. Trump should be embarrassed to have appointed him as IGIC in the first place.
He deserved to be fired because he was the IG who started the whole,” heard it from a friend who, heard from a friend who, heard from another you’ve been colluding with Russia!”
One assumes the author meant September 26, 2019.
Good post!
