So there’s a department, called the office of the intelligence inspector general

That has maximum clearance, so that without declassifying anything, they can review stuff that spies might have concerns about

This is really important, because foreign spy agencies try to turn US spies all the time

So spies pass along things, and then the IG decides what to do with them

That's not the department, it's part of the department of Justice

Now there’s a statute that says if something is a really really big deal, “an urgent concern to the security of the United States”

No, the intel IG is not part of he justice department

https://oig.justice.gov/

Yes it is

That’s a different office

No.

That’s a different IGA

Different guy

That’s the DOJ IG

The intel IG is not under the DOJ

So- this statute says that if it’s an “urgent concern” to the security of the United States, then the IG needs to brief the congressional intel office on it

In this instance, the DOJ is stepping in and trying to stop the disclosure to congress

Which is highly irregular

Since this is not a DOJ issue

Office of the inspector general of the intelligence community?

But the DOJ needs to be involved in any discussion of executive privilege, which is why they stepped in

Or ODIN?

Yes. Just read the article please

Just clarify

His title is Inspector General of the Intelligence Communjty

Michael Atkinson

What the fuck is your question

Ok well you left out part of the name

I fucking listed his title a thousand times

Can you just read any of the articles or like, use google

This isn’t a secret

I asked because you left out part of the title, pretty simple

I did not

I said he was the intel inspector general

Were you confused because I left out the word “of”

Like, you have to use your brain at least slightly you fucking moron

"So there’s a department, called the office of the intelligence inspector general"

Yes

Intelligence inspector general

You left out community, genius

That's why I was confused
