Bullshit!
The unchanged law already allowed hearsay, so no reason to fabricate a change in regulation. Please link DIRECTLY to this nonexistent regulation.

The regulation implementing the law was changed just for trump

LIAR!
And no link to the nonexistent regulation!!!!!

I am not holding my breath waiting for you to concede that the IG engaged in partisn politics

you asked for a reference and I gave it to you

You gave me a right-wing LIE you mindlessly parroted! There is no such regulation which is why you can't link to it. Your Right-wing sources made a STUPID SUCKER out of you yet again!

[wamose]

This Atkinson dickhead isn't any different than the MSM, DNC or Communist China. They all want to overthrow Trump because he gets in their way of taking over our country.

Atkinson is a HERO trying to protect his crew and YET you turn him into a villian because...…....well trump is a coward.

He's no hero. He's a pussy that goes crying to mommy when he feels threatened. I have a special spot on the sidewalk in front of Pelosi's house for him to set up his tent.

If he used that form, he must have known that whistle blower did not meet the requirements, as specified on the form.

Again directly from thr ICIG report:
"The law required that the Complainant be “[a]n employee of an element of the intelligence community, an employee assigned or detailed to an element of the intelligence community, or an employee of a contractor to the intelligence community.” 50 U.S.C. § 3033(k)(5)(A). The ICIG confirmed the Complainant was such an employee, detailee, or contractor"

Chariamela (sic) got his information from Eric Vindman (remember him) who was listening in on a phone call
between Trump and Ukraine's president Zelensky. Is that not second hand unsubstantiated assertions?

EPIC! Trump UNLOADS on Fake News, Fired ICIG Atkinson and "Fake" Whistleblower Eric Ciaramella at White House Presser

"Someone Ought to Sue His Ass Off!" - EPIC! Trump UNLOADS on Fake News, Fired ICIG Atkinson and "Fake" Whistleblower Eric Ciaramella at White House Presser | The Gateway Pundit | by Jim Hoft

President Trump fired corrupt and controversial deep state hack ICIG Michael Atkinson on Friday night.

www.thegatewaypundit.com

Comment:
"Atkinson saw to it that the 'Whistle-blower' form was updated just in time to allow for second hand information"
Indeed hear say information proved to be unreliable (as expected) and hence that is why Trump came out smelling like a rose in the fake impeachment attempt.
Michael Atkinson was central to the deep state efforts to prevent President Trump's election when he was at DOJ/NSD. He was their chief lawyer. What was his legal advice? It's okay to lie to the FISA court because nobody will ever find out?
Remember too, Atkinson's old boss Mary McCord now works for Adam Schiff.
The Vindman twins military careers are over they showed their political bias too many times and tried to impeach a duly elected president.





So Atkinson should have had his duff fired months ago! Trump is too kind.

This is Adam Schiff with his wife and daughter.

And his daughter's boyfriend Eric.

Does his wife look like a woman who knows her husband beats his drug addicted Black boyfriend? I can see it.
