Intelligence Community Inspector General Michael Atkinson released a statement on Monday addressing the changes.
In the letter Atkinson admitted the changes to the form were made at the time of the partisan CIA leaker’s complaint.
The ICIG also admitted that it changed its own whistleblower rules *because of the anti-Trump complaint* from the CIA spy:
In June 2019, the newly hired Director for the Center for Protected Disclosures entered on duty. Thus, the Center for Protected Disclosures has been reviewing the forms provided to whistleblowers who wish to report information with respect to an urgent concern to the congressional intelligence committees. In the process of reviewing and clarifying those forms, and in response to recent press inquiries regarding the instant whistleblower complaint, the ICIG understood that certain language in those forms and, more specifically, the informational materials accompanying the forms, could be read – incorrectly – as suggesting that whistleblowers must possess first-hand information in order to file an urgent concern complaint with the congressional intelligence committees.
The law didn't require that the information be first-hand, but the way the law had been implemented was to require that the Whistle blower did have first hand info. They even wrote up the whistle blower forms to include that requirement even though it wasn't required by the statute. The discretion of the IG required a higher standard than required by the law. That changed in August, and they did have to change their forms based upon this change.

blob supports unelected bureaucrats changing the laws. He's "conservative" that way.

So your source agrees that it doesn't have to be first hand knowledge. Got it.
The law didn't require that the information be first-hand, but the way the law had been implemented was to require that the Whistle blower did have first hand info. They even wrote up the whistle blower forms to include that requirement even though it wasn't required by the statute. The discretion of the IG required a higher standard than required by the law.

Where did I say that I supported it my lying Kunt of friend? I assume that this higher standard didn't just start with Trump that it also existed under Obama. The way the Federal bureaucracy works many laws and their enforcement are left up to the bureaucracy. That's why I want a smaller, less powerful Federal government to limit this kind of crap. But please return to your strawman's asswhole O'Keefed.

O'Keefed appears to support a sliding scale of legal enforcement dependent upon the political party that holds office.
blob: "So why was the whistle blower law changed in August?"
I was wrong, the law wasn't change, the way it was being enforced was changed.
Do you see how easy it is when you're not a lying Kunt?
Some of us pointed out here that the "changed law" claim was bullshit the day before. See how easy it is when you don't live in an echo chamber?
Fuck you O'Keefed, What is it five or six years ago when the Gentle Giant shooting happened and you still lie your ass off about it.
Hell just the other day you lied your ass off about statements you made about Hillary's emails. Go fuck yourself. I took time to inform myself of the facts and now admit my initial take was wrong.
Would you care to go over some of the topics where you still continue to lie your fuck ass off?

Big win for Daddy though. Obviously.
