Federalist:
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.
The complaint alleges that President Donald Trump broke the law during a phone call with the Ukrainian president. In his complaint, which was dated August 12, 2019, the complainant acknowledged he was “not a direct witness” to the wrongdoing he claims Trump committed.
A previous version of the whistleblower complaint document, which the ICIG and DNI until recently provided to potential whistleblowers, declared that any complaint must contain only first-hand knowledge of alleged wrongdoing and that complaints that provide only hearsay, rumor, or gossip would be rejected. read more
March them out, line them up, and hang them all. Start with Hillary Clinton.
This reminds me of a statement I read about after the Waco debacle. Someone asked the head of the Secret Service why they didn’t combine the ATF, the FBI, and the Secret Service all together. The head of the SS supposedly said………..”If you mix dirty water with clean water all you end up with is dirty water”
Not surprising. Now days there are a lot of people talking out of their,,,ah, saying stuff about things they know nothing about first-hand. Seeing evidence that doesn’t exist, and so on.
Adam Schiff gets the POS award this week for seeing words in a phone call transcript that were not there. He was given first-hand information then proceeded to intentionally read it incorrectly into congressional record.
*Such* desperation. Sad…but HILARIOUS! Going kablooey in 3…2…1…
Just shows that the intelligence community is a democrat run organization and needs breaking up. But really they needed breaking up on 9/12/2001 as they didn’t do their jobs.
BINGO Tim!
So … we have a better idea of the perfidious timeline.
And some ONE – some individual made that change – a “bureaucracy” cannot make changes to itself – a person is required – that implies a paper trail. Find that person and get some idea of how deep the moles go.
Root them out.
They are Traitors – as the FISA court “judge” is – as Gruber, Pelosi, and Obola are – as Brennan is – as Clapper is – as Comey is.

The issue is deeper than the complaint and the silent change made to the 1st/2nd person report rule. When I read the complaint and saw the format, research and depth of references (to answer every technical question that could arise), I got the feeling that this was a serious team effort; a professionally developed paper. I haven’t seen better multi-layer-staffed papers coming out of DC in quite some time.
Bottom line: The soft-coup continues. The complaint itself and the brand new 1st Person-account-no-longer-required change to support it…. confirm it.
INCREDIBLE ANALYSIS:

What they did was turn off the fire extinguishing
system and turn on the gaslighting.
“Article 58 was carte blanche for the secret police to arrest and imprison anyone deemed suspicious …”
(Constitution of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. December 1936)
We’re moving towards a more Stalinistic/Hitlerian penal code.
Again – they don’t GAF about President Trump, per se, – their attack is against America and our Constitution.
