Why can't you ever answer a question without punting to Obama?Termin8tor » 19 Sep 2019 10:48 am » wrote:As if you know what the law is.Misty » 19 Sep 2019 10:35 am » wrote:Why is the AG blocking the Intelligence committee from getting whistleblower info that the IG said was credible and urgent, and the DNI is required by law to turn over to them?
Why didn't the intelligence community refer Obama for this, wackjob?
Deceiving American voters to be even softer to Putin.
Obama, not Trump, was Putin's Pet.
The acting DNI did not follow the law.Simply speaking, if a whistleblower working for an Intelligence Community agency wants to bring something to the attention of the congressional intelligence committees, they must write up a complaint and give it to either their agency’s inspector general or the Intelligence Community Inspector General (ICIG), specifically stating that it is an ICWPA complaint.
The ICIG then has 14 days to decide if the complaint pertains to an “urgent concern” and if it is credible.
Schiff’s letter states that in the case of this whistleblower, the ICIG determined the complaint was both credible and an “urgent concern.”

Once the relevant inspector general makes such a determination that the complaint credibly raises an urgent concern, he forwards it to the head of the agency – in this case, the DNI.
The law then requires the DNI (or the relevant agency head) to forward the complaint to the congressional intelligence committees, along with any comments he wishes to make about the complaint, within seven days.

Instead he consulted with the DOJ who is now blocking the complaint from going to the intel committees.
The law is called the Intelligence Community Whistleblower Protection Act (ICWPA).
Look it up Precious.
