This is why Trump had every right to fire Atkinson.

Durham has been busy, in spite of zero press coverage.

John Durham’s investigation into 2016 election irregularities needs resolution

If you were reading The Wall Street Journal late last week, you might have noticed a story about a federal prosecutor John Durham from Connecticut. He is the man that Attorney General William Barr tapped a year ago to look into irregularities allegedly committed surrounding the 2016 election...

That's ridiculous.
It's the Democrats whose scandals are coming crashing down on them. Trump has been right all along.

As is usually the case, you can't believe the MSM lies.

According to new reports, former Intelligence Inspector General Michael Atkinson was involved in the debunked Russian collusion story and the abuse of FISA authority. This adds to claims of his mishandling of the Ukraine whistleblower case.

But you believe Fox lies?

The thing is, he did not mishandle the whistle blower case.

 

[OKTexas]

BTW, you Trump cultists keep using a prez's authority to fire government employees to gloss over why they are being fired. Petulance, retribution, and a refusal to be a sycophant.

God you're fucking stupid, Atkinson had neither the legal authority to accept or act on that fake complaint. His authority is confined by law to areas that are within the responsibility and authority of the DNI. The DNI has no authority or responsibility over presidential diplomatic phone calls. Add to that that Atkison bypassed his boss, which is gross insubordination, he should have been canned months ago.

You're either a blatant liar or supremely ignorant. He had no legal authority to accept or act on the complaint.

Would you mind providing a reliable source that doesn't lie corroborating that story? Thanks.

You are that ignorant of Michael Atkinson, that you make a fool of yourself?

Here is what was discovered about this floating incompetent turd:

The Last Refuge

Laughable and Political – Former ICIG Michael Atkinson Releases Ridiculous Political “Statement”….

Posted on April 5, 2020 by sundance

Excerpts:

Everything anyone needed to know about the motives and intents of fired Intelligence Community Inspector General (ICIG) Michael Atkinson is evidenced by his releasing a political statement tonight protesting his termination.

Atkinson doesn’t write a “letter”, his diatribe is not addressed to anyone, it is just a political “statement” designed to be exploited by the same people, for the same intents, as his prior ICIG work product. This transparently political effort is ridiculous.

and the clincher,

What makes this Horowitz statement so ridiculous, political and hypocritical, is that only four days earlier IG Horowitz was so alarmed at the gross incompetence of Atkinson that he submitted an interim memorandum noting extreme deficiencies in the FISA work product of Michael Atkinson as legal counsel for the DOJ-NSD.

The DOJ and FBI have an internal FISA self-check mechanism. The DOJ National Security Division (DOJ-NSD) chief counsel Michael Atkinson, and the chief counsel for every FBI field office are required to conduct an “Accuracy Review” of selected FISA applications. One per field office (25 to 30 field offices),which are also sent to DOJ-NSD (main justice) for general counsel Atkinson inspection.

LINK

Horowitz detailed 39 examples of Michael Atkinsons’ willful violations of law and policy within 42 “accuracy review” files at the DOJ-NSD. The error rate within the DOJ-NSD files that Atkinson was responsible for was over 93%.

IG Michael Horowitz was so alarmed by the gross incompetence he sent an urgent interim memorandum to the DOJ and FBI notifying the Attorney General and FBI Director of the systemic violations discovered. Two days later the FISA court responded to the IG memorandum by demanding the DOJ/FBI reveal the names of the application targets.

=====

Michael "the turd" Atkinson was outed a while ago as being grossly incompetent, with his dicovered violations of law.

The left is collectively ignorant because they believe the lies from the MSM - CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, and all the press affiliates like NY Times and Washington Post.

Any counter-narratives to the establishment's propaganda agenda are the work of "foreign agents" or "conspiracy theorists" or right-wing pundits you should ignore like big bad Fox News..

You sure about that?

Here is what he did that shows he tried hard to advance a bogus whistleblower claim, he changed the rules AFTER he got the report, to keep it viable since the rules makes clear the Whistleblower has to be an actual witness, but Atkinson waived that pesky rule to allow second/third hand claims be allowed for a contrived/useless whistleblower claim.

ICIG Michael Atkinson Attempts Four-Page Justification for Changing “Urgent Concern” Whistle-blower Guidelines…

Posted on September 30, 2019 by sundance

Excerpt:

Methinks Mr. Atkinson doth protest too much. Prior to the current “whistle-blower complaint” the Intelligence Community Inspector General did not accept Urgent Concern whistle-blower claims without first hand knowledge. However, the ICIG revised the protocol in August 2019 to accept a CIA complaint against President Donald Trump.

Today the Inspector General of the Intelligence Community, Michael Atkinson, presented a four-page justification explaining why the IC changed the Urgent Concern rules to allow the CIA to target President Trump with anonymous complaints based on hearsay:

bolding mine

His 4 page bullshit in the LINK

=====

Read the rest of the link to see WHY they changed the rules, it involved Schiff, Burr and the turd Atkinson.

I remember this clearly from last year, he changed the rule to promote a hearsay whistleblower claim.

Atkinson was one of the ones who tried to frame General Flynn back in 2016.

Unbelievable abuse of power.

REALLY? Your video does not mention him....did it? He worked for the US DISTRICT ATTORNEY's office for the District of Columbia back in 2016....

hewas appointed by president Trump in 2017 to head the ICIG's office and started that in May 218, after the senate approved him, by unanimous vote....

so, exactly how was he involved in framing Flynn AS YOU CLAIM?

WHAT EXACTLY is BULL SHIT ABOUT IT? I read the 4 page report, there was no bullshit in it??

Can you point out what was bullshit to you? Or are you just parroting fake news from right wing bloggers that you call news?

Atkinson, simply followed THE LAW that stated he SHALL turn over all designated urgent whistle blower complaints to congress within 10 days, and that pissed trump off.... and that is why he fired the man he hired..... and trump does not hire Democrats, so you KNOW Atkinson is a Republican.

That particular video is unrelated to him.

American Greatness’ Julie Kelly took a peak at Atkinson’s resume and it tells us everything we need to know. Kelly notes that in July 2016, Atkinson became “the senior counsel to John Carlin, the head of the National Security Division. Carlin was Robert Mueller’s chief of staff when he ran the FBI and was appointed NSD chief by President Obama in 2013.”

Carlin played a role in both the framing of Trump’s National Security Advisor, General Michael Flynn, as well as the FBI’s counterintelligence investigation into the Trump campaign. In her testimony before Congress in 2018, FBI lawyer Lisa Page told lawmakers that “Carlin was briefed regularly by former deputy FBI Director Andy McCabe on the Trump-Russia collusion probe.”

[Coyote]

Atkinson's firing is part of Trump's overall effort to get rid of anyone seen as "disloyal" even though their actions were mandated by law. Trump also has little liking for independent oversight.

The Trump-Defense- Syndrome is in full alert: Step 1 - dig up conspiracy theories and insinuations to smear the target's character - is in progress now.
