Uh-Oh: Fake "Whistleblower" Lied to IG About His Contacts With Adam Schiff

Or, rather, he did not disclose that which must be disclosed.

He attested -- under pain of penalty -- that there were not other contacts he had made about his complaint.

That's a lie.

The complaint form requires such disclosures, and for some reason, the "Whistleblower" deliberately concealed legally-required disclosure.

The complainant’s failure to disclose his interactions with Schiff or his staff could put him in legal hot water, as the whistleblower form he submitted requires individuals to disclose "other actions you are taking on your disclosure" under penalty of perjury. An entire page of the whistleblower form is dedicated to collecting information about previous disclosures so the ICIG can take appropriate action in response to the complaint.

"I have previously disclosed (or am disclosing) the violations alleged here to (complete all that apply)," the form requires the complainant to attest. The form includes checkboxes for disclosures to other inspectors general, other agencies, the Department of Justice, the Government Accountability Office, the Office of Special Counsel, other executive branch departments, Congress and its respective committees, and media.

I mean, hey, he's lying (under pain of perjury) on the form in which he makes his (Adam Schiff-lawyer-crafted) complaint, but we should totes believe him about everything else. Everything else he says he heard second or third-hand.
