Left Tries To Wave Away IG Changes Allowing Whistleblowers To Weaponize Hearsay
After Federalist reporting unearthed the Intelligence Community Inspector General’s (ICIG’s) material changes to its whistleblower complaint intake procedures, a battle has ensued over whether the changes matter.
This discovery continues to captivate elected representatives, Capitol insiders, and political talking heads across the nation. President Trump tweeted Monday morning, asking emphatically “WHO CHANGED THE LONG STANDING WHISTLEBLOWER RULES JUST BEFORE SUBMITTAL OF THE FAKE WHISTLEBLOWER REPORT? DRAIN THE SWAMP!”
...There Is No Dispute that the Form Changed
The detractors are right about one thing: the Intelligence Community Whistleblower Protection Act (ICWPA) statute doesn’t actually prohibit a purported whistleblower from initiating a complaint based on hearsay. But the clear language of the previous IC IG guidance never stated that it did.
