The “Whistleblower Complaint” Is an Orchestration Not in Compliance with Whistleblower Law

1—-The statute allowing such complaints is 50 USC sec. 3033. Read it for yourself.

a–The statute requires the complaint to involve “intelligence activity”.  The “intelligence activity whistle blower complaint” we have been talking about has nothing to do with “intelligence activity” as legally required by the statute.  Since this complaint was filed, accepted and treated as legitimate, was the drafting, filing, and handling of this particular “intelligence activity whistle blower complaint” a political act rather than whistle blowing?

b–Under the statute the whistle blowing must concern either a person or activity that is under the authority of the Director of National Intelligence. One cannot use this statute to whistle blow to the Inspector General of the Intelligence Community, a subordinate official of the DNI, on anything that the DNI has no authority over.  In other words, nothing in the statute  allows an “intelligence activity whistleblower” complaint to be made concerning the president or his phone calls. Such matters are not supervised by the DNI and are outside the jurisdiction of this statute.  The acceptance of this complaint by the IG was improper under the clear language of the statute.  The same would be true about complaints regarding other government activities under the authority of other government agencies or branches.

Conclusion? If the complaint was improper under the statute, it was improperly filed, improperly accepted, and the filer was not even a whistleblower as defined in the statute
