[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Regarding the call transcript:
Reports are that the leaker confirmed in a memo to himself the day after the phone call with Ukraine, that the transcript of the call memorializes the call and that it is not a summary. The transcript ended up completely destroying the narrative the leaker put forth.

Regarding the changing of the documents:

[quote]In tense testimony before the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) on Friday, the inspector general for federal spy agencies refused to disclose why his office backdated secret changes to key whistleblower forms and rules in the wake of an anti-Trump whistleblower complaint filed in August, sources told The Federalist.

As The Federalist reported and the Intelligence Community Inspector General (ICIG) confirmed, the spy watchdog secretly changed its whistleblower forms and internal rules in September to eliminate a requirement that whistleblowers provide first-hand evidence to support any allegations of wrongdoing. In a press release last week, the ICIG confessed that it changed its rules in response to an anti-Trump complaint filed on August 12. That complaint, which was declassified and released by President Donald Trump in September, was based entirely on second-hand information, much of which was shown to be false following the declassification and release of a telephone conversation between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.[/quote]

The whistleblower did not complete a section of the form indicating he went to Schiff's office first.  And, the ICIG was unaware of this detail. He was also unable to explain the 18 day window between the Ukraine calll and filing the complaint:

[quote]The embattled ICIG also admitted on Friday that the anti-Trump complainant lied on his whistleblower complaint form by concealing the complainant’s previous secret interactions with House Democratic staff prior to submitting the complaint. Atkinson never even bothered investigating potential coordination between the complainant, whom DOJ said showed evidence of partisan political bias, and House Democrats prior to the filing of the anti-Trump complaint.[/quote][/quote]
