Intel Community Secretly Gutted Requirement Of First‑Hand Whistleblower Knowledge

Answered on Twitter by Cato’s Julian Sanchez:

This why one shouldn’t dabble in intelligence law based on random stuff one saw going around on social media. Nothing in the relevant statute (ICWPA) or directives (PPD-19, ICD-120) has ever required that protected whistleblower disclosures contain “firsthand” information.

Right. Are we going to start throwing out police investigations if the investigator doesn’t personally witness the event they are investigating? The Federalist didn’t really think this knee-jerk through.

The Federalist didn’t think something through? I’m shocked!
