Your concerns do not qualify as firsthand evidence. |
Anyone? |
Because the DoD OIG doesn't require firsthand knowledge. |
Please link your source. Thanks! |
Concerns do not need to be firsthand evidence to be brought to the proper authority. That is not a requirement in this case. |
Google it. Or look earlier in this thread. It has been discussed ad nauseum. |
A whistleblower becomes a whistleblower by reporting concerns to the correct authority. There is no requirement to be a first hand witness to bad behavior. However, by reporting the concerns, in this case, the investigation was started, and eye witness accounts of Trump's misuse of office have been discovered. Thank goodness for the whistleblower who raised the concerns that got the investigation started. Why do you think so many people, like for example, Sonderland, didn't step forward on their own? |
Happily. As soon as you like to your source definition of "firsthand". |
It's right here: https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/PLAW-105publ272/html/PLAW-105publ272.htm now, PP, YOU post where you see that a whistleblower in the CIA is required to have first hand knowledge. |
Also this (the OIG specifically addressing the rumor that firsthand knowledge is required for whistleblower reports). https://www.dni.gov/files/ICIG/Documents/News/ICIG%20News/2019/September%2030%20-%20Statement%20on%20Processing%20of%20Whistleblower%20Complaints/ICIG%20Statement%20on%20Processing%20of%20Whistleblower%20Complaints.pdf |
Well, that is very definitive! Thanks for posting. |
Fishy how those employees with DIRECT knowledge of perceived wrongdoing failed to blow their whistle. Why? |
Isn't is fishy that they are also failing to comply with House subpoenas? |
You know exactly why. |
Because they are scared of angering Dear Leader. Are you this stupid all the time? |
