I wouldn't accede to that interpretation by the ODNI. And if you really read the ICWPA as giving the DNI & ICIG the ability to block whistleblowers from getting to you, you should change the law.
The goal is to protect the whistleblower. If the DNI interpretation is such (it is) then you are putting the whistleblower at risk of losing livelihood and being charged with a crime. Which defeats purpose of whistleblower. The law doesn’t need to be changed. Needs to be followed
There is nothing in the statute to explicitly say that a whistleblower loses their Title V protections if they made a good faith attempt to comply with ICWPA and then comes to Congress directly.
What whistleblower would come forward if the DNI says their testimony would be unauthorized? This reasoning shifts the blame to the whistleblower when it should squarely be on the DNI/DOJ.
.@RepSwalwell, what are you and the House Intelligence Committee going to do about this?
#Whistleblower
If the President & Barr dont follow the law, then why does the whistle-blower have to follow the law? He/She did what was required. If Congress isn't going to stop this insane behavior, we might as well just let the criminal in the WH do whatever he wants.
.@RepSwalwell and .@RepAdamSchiff, Professor Tribe .@tribelaw says “ask for a writ of mandamus”.
Please do something!!!
So, what course of action can/will be taken for Congress to receive the information?
I thought the DNI's function once the Whistle Blower informs him he will testify is to instruct the WB to approach Congress in the most secure way, not to prevent him from appearing in front of the Intel Committees per statute. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/50/3033 …
Then just impeach.
