Justice Department's inspector general: "Whistleblowers need to be able to report what they see"Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz spoke out today about the importance of whistleblowers and said the Trump-Ukraine whistleblower complaint “presents a challenge.”
“This is an issue we care very deeply about,” Horowitz said. “Whistleblowers need to be able to report what they see. Senator Grassley had a statement yesterday that I think is very important. Congress has made it clear that they expect federal employees to report wrongdoing to them, regardless of which party is in power.”yesterday when he said that the whistleblower who raised concerns about Trump’s dealings with the Ukrainian government “ought to be heard out and protected.
Horowitz was at an event about government oversight at American University’s law school. Regarding the whistleblower complaint about President Trump and Ukraine, Horowitz said, “This one presents a challenge in that IGs don’t oversee the Executive Office of the President.” Horowitz’s comment echoed a sentiment that was included in the Justice Department’s rationale for initially withholding the Ukraine whistleblower complaint from Congress. Their legal opinion noted that the Inspector General of the Intelligence Community, which received the complaint, doesn’t technically have oversight of the White House.
“The public, more and more, needs independent voices that will speak to what is factually happening in government, Horowitz said earlier in the event.

HILARIOUS!!! SpeakerPelosi the 'Master Legislator' had to agree with impeachment or her own party was going to throw her ass OUT!!! But Nancy has control of the party YEAH RIGHT!!!
LIAR!!!! Your finger prints are all over it...
If Schiff is innocent, he should have no problem testifying in a court of law. Just like Feinstein should have testified. Democrats only know how to scurt the system.
State Dept IG handed over docs about Russia cover up and the Muller report
Lol you really believe that.
CNN fake news propaganda specialists, but soon the truth will shine
Just like they met with Glen Simpson of Fusion GPS about the fake dossier And How they coached Cohen before his hearing This is SOP for Schifty
Trump should be stopped in his tracks whe he lies. Called out it’s a lie.

CNN, at some point you need to buck up and get your journalistic shops in order. There is a story here and it is abuse of power by the Democratic led committee’s in Congress. At what point does CNN and its new staff start wondering about their legacy?
Trained monkeys are still monkeys...
And... punt. Schiff and company are unbelievably corrupt. Just... pathetic. Still, not as pathetic as CNN's ratings but that's through the floor low.
Fake News having another very bad day priceless
Schiffty is a Fraud A deep state actor of witch hunting
This headline is misleading.
Because Schiff's people wrote it.
So he reached out to Democrats and Schiff's office told him what to do. Schiff claims he knew nothing about it. Schiff is a liar and needs to be removed from office.
Wow. Just like Balsy Ford contacting dimwit Feinstein for “help” What a coincidence! Amazing!!
“Guidance”
If hearing the leader of your country talk about “executing” someone for reporting what was perceived as a potential threat to national security does not send chills down your spine, I’m not sure what will. NOT 1 GOP has come to this country’s defense!
'Mr. Schiff’s aides followed procedures involving the C.I.A. officer’s accusations. They referred the C.I.A. officer to an inspector general and advised him to seek legal counsel. Schiff never saw any part of the complaint or knew precisely what the whistle-blower would deliver.'
Tick Tock
The House Intelligence Committee said it did not review the whistleblower's complaint in advance — just as President Trump claimed, without evidence, that Chair Adam Schiff 'helped write it.'
