Massive Impeachment Whistleblower Referred for Prosecution

The DOJ just received criminal referrals to prosecute the whistleblower and the ex-Inspector General (IG) who conspired to impeach President Donald Trump over his phone call with the president of Ukraine by using secondhand testimony of so-called witnesses who weren’t even in the room.

As reported by Fox News:

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence sent criminal referrals to the Justice Department for the whistleblower whose complaint helped trigger President Donald Trump’s 2019 impeachment and for the former

“I want to refer information that may constitute possible criminal activity in violation of federal criminal law committed by one or more former employees of the intelligence community,” ODNI’s general counsel wrote in the referral to the Justice Department.

Fox News Digital on Wednesday reviewed the referrals ODNI sent to the Justice Department.

“The possible criminal activity concerns the circumstances described in the following congressional briefings:Discussion with Intelligence Community Inspector General, House Permanent Select Comm. on Intel., 116th Cong. (2019); Briefing by the Intelligence Community Inspector General, House Permanent Select Comm. on Intel., 116th Cong. (2019),” it continued. 

The referrals come after DNI Tulsi Gabbard released documents earlier this week exposing what was described as a “coordinated effort” by elements within the intelligence community—including then-Inspector General Michael Atkinson, to “manufacture a conspiracy” that was used as the basis to impeach Trump in 2019.

An intelligence official told Fox News Digital that the language in the referral is broad, but that it’s specifically directed at Atkinson and the whistleblower who reported concerns about President Trump’s July 2019 phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

As we talked about earlier in the week, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard had released declassified information exposing the missteps made by former IG Michael Atkinson during his investigation to impeach President Trump. Then we found out that current Intelligence Community IG Christopher Fox had begun looking into other things that Atkinson had done and had potentially circumvented some of the rules and procedures to reach his desired outcome.

If he were willing to slip under the guardrails to impeach the President of the United States, what other processes had he potentially ignored or overridden?

Now Gabbard has sent a criminal referral to the DOJ. So, for those of you who have been asking if there will ever be accountability, the answer is yes. And not just for the IG, but the alleged misleading whistleblower as well.

DNI Gabbard appeared on News Nation last night to discuss the reasoning for the referrals:

But the bottom line is this: Number one, the so-called whistleblower who came forward presented no evidence and no firsthand knowledge.

This is a person who had heard about a conversation that President Trump had with Zelensky, then went straight to Adam Schiff on the House Intelligence Committee, and this is where they came up with this false narrative. And this so-called whistleblower then went and filed a complaint with the Intelligence Community Inspector General.

The other so-called witness to this is somebody who also had zero firsthand knowledge and presented zero evidence, someone who was also a coauthor of the 2017 Russia hoax intelligence community assessment that President Obama had ordered be created in conjunction with John Brennan and James Clapper at the time. Again, no firsthand knowledge or evidence, and someone who said that even after reading the transcript, he didn’t really see the issue there until the whistleblower had explained it to him.

So once again, Gabbard herself laid out all the issues that they found. Neither so-called witness had witnessed anything firsthand, and one didn’t even realize what they had claimed to have seen was illegal until they were told it was. The whole process sounds like a comedy of errors.

While we haven’t seen the actual criminal referral itself, as those aren’t normally made public, Gabbard determined evidence of possible criminal activity in violation of federal criminal law committed by one or more former intelligence community employees. We will continue to watch this situation very closely and keep you informed as more information becomes available.
