Please list his "direct and first hand knowledge" Coyote
Has the report been released?
The report is out there but not the actual application that the WB filled out. I can't find that anywhere, and that's what we would need to see to figure out WTF is going on with this complaint.
I can't imagine the complaint would be available unredacted because of confidentiality and classified concerns, but maybe.
I think you can if the names are redacted. I would just like to see both boxes checked off and what his own words are.
Here is what I can find:
Whistleblower complaint, annotated
Trump whistleblower complaint: Read full declassified document
Edited to add: the whistle blower states this
I was not a direct witness to most of the events described. However, I found my colleagues' accounts of these events to be credible because, in almost all cases, multiple officials recounted fact patterns that were consistent with one another. In addition, a variety of information consistent with these private accounts has been reported publicly.
That would certainly seem to state he was as direct witness to some of the events, thus first hand.
Problem: There were no event(s), there was only one, the phone call.
I don't see where this direct witness (or first hand information) came in that you see. What he said is that he trusts the account of the people he worked with, that were people with first hand information. Therefore he's still a person with second hand information. Given the fact that we are talking about one phone call here, I don't see where he claims "most" of the events from.
