quote:

EXCLUSIVE: A newly filed complaint to the Intelligence Community Inspector General (ICIG) alleges that the whistleblower whose allegations touched off House Democrats' impeachment inquiry may have violated federal law by indirectly soliciting more than a quarter-million dollars from mostly anonymous sources via a GoFundMe page.

The complaint, which was filed last week and obtained by Fox News, alleged the donations from roughly 6,000 individuals "clearly constitute" gifts to a current intelligence official that may be restricted because of the employee's official position pursuant to 5 CFR 2635.203 and other statutes. To date, the GoFundMe has raised over $227,000.

The complaint also raised the possibility that some of the donations may have come from prohibited sources, and asked the ICIG to look into whether any "foreign citizen or agent of a foreign government" contributed.

The fundraising page claims that "donations will only be accepted from U.S. citizens." But, the majority of the GoFundMe donors to the whistleblower's campaign were not named, and legal experts have told Fox News that the ICIG likely would need to subpoena the website to obtain more information on their origins.

Surely this list might "leak" a little once it is obtained... Not that I support leaking or anything...

This seems like fake news.

It's a GoFundMe. I doubt the whistleblower even took the money.

But if he actually did receive a money transfer, that's not good.

He may not have taken possession of it but, if he set up the fund and was soliciting donations, it can still be considered a violation.

Do Beetlejuice, the Dems, or Go Fund Me really want to go down this road?

This is actually how the damn statute was intended to be applied. IC employees ratting out other IC employees' abuses. Not coup setups to allege the president is breaking a law that doesn't apply to him.
