THE RULES FOR BECOMING A "WHISTLEBLOWER" WERE CHANGED TO PERMIT SECOND-HAND GOSSIP IN AUGUST 2019. COINCIDENTALLY, THE "WHISTLEBLOWER," OFFERING HIS SECOND-HAND GOSSIP, FILED HIS COMPLAINT IN AUGUST 2019.
In 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.”Guess what? The Deep State refuses to comment on this, to acknowledge they made this change or defend the change and explain why in August 2019 they suddenly thought it was super-important to change the reporting requirements.
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.
Reached by phone on Friday afternoon, a Director of National Intelligence official refused to comment on any questions about the secret revision to the whistleblower form, including when it was revised to eliminate the requirement of first-hand knowledge and for what reason.More: A source says this was all done so that the usual rule, requiring this to go through the AG, would be circumvented, and this could be sent directly to Congress. It was all engineered by professional paper-pushers from the start. That's why the complaint seems to have been written by a Democrat legislative staffer looking to check the boxes -- because it was. Flashback: What was happening early in August? Any shake-ups we should know about? More:
A key Q: When @realDonaldTrump phoned #Zelensky it was an act of diplomacy, not an intelligence operation. Neither is an intelligence operator or asset. So why did the whistle blower file with the ICIG? We‘ll know more soon but some sources believe the WB was IC detailed to NSC.

He sits around and watches them do it without acting. He's way, way too hands-off with the various agencies, like he thinks they're an independent body he can only suggest things to and appoint heads of. He told them to declassify stuff months ago and they said basically "F U" and never have. Trump's response? Tweet about it.

So the IC initally has spys all over the WH. Trump over the last two years does a half way decent job eliminating the spys to the point they're not in position to get first hand accounts of what Trump is doing.
IC says "No problem, we'll just change the rules."

Trump made the same mistake Bush did: he didn't clean house the way Obama and Clinton did. Top level mistake. He should have fired EVERYONE and then had them be re-hired, one by one, if they were good enough and could be trusted. Just like a hostile takeover.

thinks they're an independent body he can only suggest things to and
appoint heads of. He told them to declassify stuff months ago and they

Oh, and then there was the Swamp which gets to confirm or stall them. So he does what he can and works incrementally.

Okay, so he overrides them.
And then the GOP squishes vote to impeach him too because he's "endangered national security."
Trump doesn't posses a big red "Easy" button that he's too lazy to push to solve this.
Plus: You don't know a fraction of what he knows. You see maybe one piece and board and scream that he should take it.
He's got other things going on as well, like rebuilding American manfucturing and standing up to China. His economic team has been first-rate. Flushing out the traitors in intel will take time. Happily, they're helping him do it.

That would mean making a case on Obama and Thundershart, too. No way to avoid it. They were up to their necks in it. You would have to charge them as well. At very least, you'd have to expose them as criminals to the public and then shamefully fail to charge them.

DNI is executive branch (right?), and without consulting, they bypassed the safety valve of going to the AG before going to another branch of government. And as said above, they did it AFTER the report was submitted ... leaving a trail of intent. This is sedition ... (?) or some such serious act.
And who helped leak the intel ... they are trying to remove the president, but the real source and the hearsay guy both maintain secrecy? We find out about other whistle blowers ... in Obama's administration they were punished, and the ones exposed got reassigned, not fired.

Has he even released the documents the President ordered released, many months ago? Even a partial release, Chinese water torture style? This whistleblower complaint was cleared for release in two days.

Tucker mentioned something interesting last night. Back in the early '60s, Harry Truman wrote a little op-ed in the WaPo explaining how he realized creating the CIA was a mistake.
He said he realized it about 3 years into it after it was created. He essentially describe it was becoming what we now call the Deep State.
Nobody paid it any attention at the time.

Whilst pondering the difficulties of reining in our current out of control government, Ibraised the possibility of using that venerable Roman tradition of Decimation, I.e., elimination of 1/10th of our current imbecilic totalitarian overlords class.
Others, perhaps realizing that the problem wr have with government is even more intractable than I thought, put forth the concept of "Inverse Decimation" aa a possibility, I.e., the elimination of 9/10ths of our "problematic" princes and princesses.
Since the Romans had a word for this latter concept, "decimatio reciproca", I say "Yes, let's!"

The IC Inspector General (ICIG) only has jurisdiction involving IC personnel. Trump is not IC personnel. Neither is Zelansky.
This is therefore not a case for the IC IG.
However, if it had been filed in the normal (correct) way, it would have gone to Barr for review, not hte Obama-appointed ICIG.
So they pretended this was an IC matter to route it away from Barr to the Obama appointee ICIG.

FFS, the only reason to buy one of those dumpster fires is the obscene CA kickbacks on a new one. So, they spent between $40-70k on a used model that's effectively halfway through its lifespan. So very green of them.
I swear, these things are more ubiquitous here than the beetle was back in 1968.

The IC Inspector General (ICIG) only has jurisdiction involving IC personnel. Trump is not IC personnel. Neither is Zelansky.
This is therefore not a case for the IC IG.
However, if it had been filed in the normal (correct) way, it would have gone to Barr for review, not hte Obama-appointed ICIG.
So they pretended this was an IC matter to route it away from Barr to the Obama appointee ICIG.

You know, at some point you look at your dog, and realize he ain't gonna get better. Whatever time, money, and effort it would take to patch up the problem, whatever it is, it's just not worth it.
Our "intelligence community" is a sick dog that needs to be put down.
I'm not suggesting it's any better, because it might not be, but we have a military intelligence community that could probably assume any and all duties the civilian force does.
Time to give that a shot.

a TV show in the last 5 minutes. I even get being so hopeful you

This has nothing to do with hope. I write based on a clear-eyed assessment of what I see happening.
If nothing is going to happen and the perps know it, they would act very differently. They would not be scurrying around like drugged rats.
Instead, they'd be heaping praise on Barr for being so judicious and restrained. They'd publish op-eds about how he's so much better than Trump.
But they're not doing that, are they?
Instead, they seem to think he's some kind of threat.
That's not me wishing him to be one, it's Nancy Pelosi declaring him to be one.
I take that as a sign I'm not far off.
In any event, we'll see.

This is precisely what happened in foreign theaters during the GWOT. The Defense Intelligence Agency proved itself more than capable of taking over the incompetent CIA's duties in A'stan and ME.
Moreover - a small point, here. During the Soviet Union, the only check against the KGB was the GRU (their DIA).
When they would start to run completely out of control, the Party would send the GRU to put them back in their place, and one night dozens-hundreds of KGB agents would simply disappear.
I think it's time for that.

Truman's point in that "CIA was a mistake" piece was the CIA was created to be basically a newspaper for POTUS, to give him all the important info about the goings-on in the word, and independent of filtering by the existing cabinet depts (think Pentagon, State).
That is a laugh now, and Truman realized it about 3 years in. The CIA filtered things worse than the previous system.

This is super good point. I think Trump is all seized up with lawyer and advisor advice. Article II of the Constitution grants THE President, enormous power.
Trump would be well advised to issue short declarative sentence Executive Orders and sign them to help himself on this and so many issues.
Start issuing 2 to 5 sentence Executive Orders. E.g., As President of the United States, I hereby declassify all information related to investigations of my 2016 campaign or personnel, including without limitation all sources and methods. All agencies with any documentation related to such investigations shall release full, complete and unreacted copes of the same within 24 hours of the issuance of this executive order. This order shall be immediately effective as of September 27, 2019, 5:00pm (EST). /s/ Donald Trump."

Trump blew up their plan by releasing it all early ... the quid pro quo was to find evidence that had been buried, and the Biden crime is self evident, so that surely in time makes it into the MSM news. But also the other intel about Hillary/DNC/FBI plotting against Trump back to 2015 ... so the whole kingdom is at risk ...
I'm not seeing our counteroffensive doing anything ... except "we're looking into it", and Trump on his own tweeting, with some Rudy help. They need to regain some public awareness ground or they may get overrun while they are tediously getting ducks in a row. Hey boys, the war started a few years ago ...

My theory... some guy inside the WH went to Adam Schiff in real time about the Ukrainian and Rudy G. happenings. But in order to get the info out in the public they needed to find a whistleblower.. so they got some lower level person in the IC to file the complaint.. but then had to take extra step of chasing rules in order to make it happen. Meethinks the person who changed the policy, or lobbied for it, are the same WH insider.

Once they take root it takes a literal revolution to undo them. And in all honesty I just can't fathom such a thing in this America.

A "modifier" of the document, the person who fills it out can only put data (text) into the fields that are specifically designed for this. The document is typically digitally signed with the individual's Common Access Card (CAC). Therefore the dates on these documents are useless without the digital signature. (If it wasn't signed it's useless.)
This report, if true, is very disturbing. However "if" the administration has competent IT skilz, they will trace it back to the originator, who, sadly is likely a lowly bureaucrat that had no idea what they were tasked to do.

I never feel like I'm being negative about this stuff. When I say that nobody big is going down for this, it's just from growing up as an American and knowing how my corrupt government works, and has as long as I've been aware of politics.
I've never had the hope it would be any different, so it's not a letdown or anything.
In fact, it makes me feel optimistic, because this time - for once - we have a guy in office who is exposing it, and not just knuckling under and doing as he's commanded. And people can finally see what I've been trying to tell them all along.
I think this is a truly important moment that will have historic consequences, and it makes me happy.
I just don't think those consequences will be short-term indictments of important intel chieftains or a former President.

To dismantle the Deep State will require dismantling a shit-pot of entities that those who profess to hate the Deep State otherwise enjoy.
Dismantling the Deep State would require dismantling, for a time, the military. Most law enforcement. And so on and so forth.
At the end of the day - this investigation shit is going nowhere. Because to expose the corruption is to expose the entire system - from all sides and all angles. That dog won't hunt.
We'll get a token sacrifice - maybe - and otherwise shit will go on as always. Because that's what most people want, when it all comes down to it.

Yeah there's no real legal guidelines but a lot of information about what its supposed to be and mean. Not that the Democrats care, Schiff is literally just sitting there making crap up and claiming that's what they need to act on.
I'd like to believe this is the last act of a desperate man, but I can't see any reason for him to have fear, yet.
I want to believe that the IG will recommend severe wide scale punishment and criminal indictments, and I want to beleive that grand juries are signing off on the frog marching orders for dozens of major names.

Even if their more outrageous claims are true "Trump said for him to do him a favor and attack Biden" its STILL NOT ILLEGAL. Its not even immoral. What exactly do they think the freaking Ukraine can do to affect our elections???

I wonder - when it happens - if all those that swore it would never happen and mocked those that said it could or would will own up to being wrong ?
Nah - I don't wonder at all.

No. The don't list them explicity in the Constitution, however, the debate over Impeachment and its process is well documented.
Also, I believe there's some pretty strict guidlines in place in the house rules as well as court precedent.

People not on his side will still be "He tried to invade our elections with RUSSIA!"
Trust me, the key point of my politics used to be dialog. The other side has hung up the phone.

Look around you... there are PLENTY of people on Trump's side who still cling to the notion that this country, which abandoned the rule of law decades ago, still has some hope of resurrecting Justice through political means.
It doesn't. More and more people figure it out every day.
I don't care about their side, and I too have hung up the phone. I want people on my side to get organized and DEMAND change, physically if necessary.
And this may well be the catalyst for that.
The other side can fuck right off. I have no use for them or their accursed, g-dforsaken "dialogue."

Yep, have all the civilians show up at the froggy bottom swamp agencies on Monday, find a squad of armed, locked and loaded military men at the gate, with a determined look on their faces, saying "your access has been terminated. Leave the premises now. Thank you, and have a nice day."

matter of hours. Forms have to be approved then disseminated throughout
the organization.
This also HAD to have been commented on by the current IG.
Its not just a ONE person plot.
Posted by: Don Q at September 27, 2019 05:21 PM (NgKpN)
yes and no. It depends on how corrupt the system is.
Form changes are generally worked up at request from upper management, by legal request by the legal people, or by units requesting changes for various reasons having to do with use, destination, or clarity.
In an ideal world they go through a forms committee for style and language and get bumped over for review by the legal counsel to make sure no changes were made that neglect or violate current statute or rule.
Then they go through the approval by some sort of management that certifies that all the required steps in verifying that the procedure was followed and it is sent to the IT people for inclusion in the forms drive. Government offices don't really do hard copy forms for internal stuff, they generally do electronic files to print out.
Of course if you wanted to sink a fifth ace into the deck, you just make the change and hand carry it to IT for inclusion. The procedure should be logged somewhere, since no-one wants there to be a screwup hung in their personnel file.
The point is that there should be a file showing how the form was changed, and for what reason, especially for something as important as this sort of HR file and for the executive branch. Unless everyone was involved except maybe the IT entry clerk.
The best bet is that if it was changed without process, it was generated at the management level.

But the 'lowly' will have a complete trace on who directed the change.
I doubt the form is signed with an e-sig though.
Who would issue a CAC to "anon y mouse".

Schitt thought it was all about JOE Biden.
The 'whistleblower' apparently did too as well as placing someone on the call who was not there. Both completely missed the Crowdstrike and server which seemed to be more meaty.
Everything else was news article. Probably seeded by Fusion GPS because that is what they do... in fact getting those articles into the record was the probably the primary purpose of the 'whistleblower. Joe Biden only matters in that he hung himself out based on rumors of the content.
Posted by: Burnt Toast at September 27, 2019 06:33 PM (1g7ch)
These tactics are designed not to actually impeach formally ( although they'll take it if they can get it) but simply to keep the administration from effectively moving on its political agenda in the hopes the Dems can win the next election. Judges are still being approved because Republicans still control the Senate but necessary legislation is frozen because the Democrats control congress.
I hold in special contempt those Republicans who are expressing "concern" about Donald Trump, not because they disagree with politically but because they hold him and his supporters in contempt for the same reason, that most Dems do, he's and outsider not siding with the elites. I will remember it Mitt.
One final word, on Tulsi Gabbard, the Dem representative from Hawaii who has been appearing on Fox to say she opposed impeachment because it was dividing the country. I believed her because I wanted to. But in the end she climbed down off that horse and joined the rest of them. I guess they offered her something. I must be getting old.
