I wonder if they will inquire as to why it was also changed in 2018.
McCullough explained that to file a complaint a whistleblower is required only to have “reasonable belief” of wrongdoing and that, once the complaint is filed, it is up to the inspector general to acquire first-hand information and whether to deem the complaint credible.
“What the old form purported to explain to the whistleblowers was that the ICIG could not find their information credible unless they obtained first hand knowledge of the wrongdoing,” McCullough said.
“The whistleblower submitted the appropriate Disclosure of Urgent Concern form that was in effect as of August 12, 2019, and had been used by the IC IG since May 24, 2018”...
“Complainant was not a direct witness to President’s telephone call with the Ukrainian President on July 25, 2019,” the IC IG wrote on Aug. 26. “Other information obtained during the preliminary review, however, supports the Complainant’s allegation that, among other things, during the call the President ‘sought to pressure the Ukrainian leader to take actions to help the President’s 2020 reelection bid.’”

And the evaluation (by who, exactly) was that there actually was an Urgent Concern to follow through with an investigation??
In the scheme of world and domestic events, what actually was the "urgent concern" as you understand it to be??
Serious question.

by the IG. Basically, the urgent concern (IMO) is that Trump and/or his proxies are using the authority of their official positions to benefit Trump personally
April 25, Biden launches campaign
May 1, Rudy G (speaking about his planned and later cancelled trip to the Ukraine) said "We’re not meddling in an election, we’re meddling in an investigation, which we have a right to do... There’s nothing illegal about it." “Somebody could say it’s improper. And this isn’t foreign policy — I’m asking them to do an investigation... because that information will be very, very helpful to my client". He also said that Trump "basically knows what I'm doing" and indicated that Trump supported it.
July 18, Trump admin informed officials that ~$400 million in aid to Ukraine was being withheld.
July 19, Volker (who has since resigned) texted Rudy G “Mr. Mayor—really enjoyed breakfast this morning, As discussed, connecting you here with Andrey Yermak, who is very close to President Zelensky.” After the call, Mr. Yermak—whom Mr. Giuliani has said he urged to have the Ukrainian government pursue an investigation into Joe Biden —told Mr. Giuliani he was “sure things will move quickly from today onwards and we will be able to take this relationship to a new level,” according to a text message viewed by the Journal.
July 25, six days after the text, Trump spoke to Zelensky on the phone (this is the conversation we have seen transcripts of).
August 00?, "Shortly after" July 25 phone call, Rudy G. met with Mr. Yermak in Spain and said that he was "pretty confident they’re going to investigate it.”

Wuuch was obviously not the transcript.
Didn't you say in the other thread facts are what matters?
The transcript is FACT.
The complaint is second hand bullshite.

It's sad AF that you can't read and that I have to post this for the 35th time.
The complaint alleges that...
Ukrainian officials were "led to believe that a meeting or phone call between" Trump and Zelensky would depend on Zelensky's willingness to "play ball"
The phrase "depends on" mean that the phone call we have transcripts of was contingent upon Ukraine being willing to "play ball".
Why would you expect to see a quid pro quo in the actual transcript?
Posted on 10/1/19 at 7:59 pm to bmy
Play ball was for corruption. Can’t give aid to corrupt individuals...Plus, Ukraine didn’t know aid had a hold on it till released at request of a Utah senator

What's sad as frick is you are a fricking idiot.
It's not in the transcript because it didn't happen.
The two principals to the phone call say it didn't happen.
Not a single person that was in the room has said it happened or reported to the ICIG that it happened.
The only person that claims it happened is a person that wasn't in the room, wasn't on the call, and has completely missed on key details of the call (including who was on it).
Oh...and that person is apparently insisting on anonymity and to not disclose their "sources".
Your regurgitation of the same bullshite is evidence you are nothing but a shill.

Well an anonymous whistle blower with anonymous 2nd hand sources made grand promises about the phone call....then the transcript was released. Oooops!
And the guy being strong armed didn't even know the $$ was being withheld. We should impeach Trump for sucking at extortion! At least Biden made his play known dammit.

Do you know what the word "contingent" means? I'm not saying Trump is guilty -- I'm just trying to explain to your retarded arse what the whistleblower is alleging

That is correct. They changed it to include the president but forgot to include it in the footnotes. Sloppy....Dan Bongino nails it again with his research.
And let’s not forget the ICIG’s legal counsel during his previous job was John Carlin. The final reviewer of the Woods Procedures during this he FISA review and Honest Bob Mueller’s former chief of staff. Another swamp creature exposed.

All of that is spin. The complaint “alleges”, blah, blah, blah. Nothing concrete or remotely so, just what the Dems and you want everyone to believe

Earlier today I explained it to you. There was no quid pro quo. You believe there was one because the whistleblower claimed there was one. The transcript destroys that narrative proving the whistleblower was relaying hearsay and thus, was propagating a lie, that you are only too willing to believe.

He chooses to believe the whistleblower because it fits the narrative that he wants.
