A [[whistleblower]] complaint by [[Michael Barry]] addressed to Sen. Richard Burr and Rep. [[Adam Schiff]] was marked "urgent concern" alleging collusion between President Trump and President Zelensky.<ref>https://intelligence.house.gov/uploadedfiles/20190812_-_whistleblower_complaint_unclass.pdf</ref> The [[Intelligence community]] Inspector General (ISIG) and Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) determined the complaint was not of "urgent concern" and [[DNI]] James McGuire acted properly.<ref>https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/6429710-OLC-Opinion-Trump-Ukraine-Call.html</ref>  The Dept. of Justice Office of Legal Counsel strongly rebuked ICIG [[Michael Atkinson]]’s original granting whistleblower status based on [[hearsay]]. interpretation of his responsibility with the complaint.  In the OLC opinion, they point out that Atkinson’s internal justification for accepting the whistleblower complaint was poor legal judgement.

The whistleblower complaint was fabricated to deliver an outcome in the same way the ''[[Steele Dossier]]'' was fabricated to deliver an outcome.  :ee Smith ex[lains in ''The New York Post'' that 'Trump-Ukraine' became necessary because the Trump-Russia ‘obstruction’ failed.  What Democrats and their fake news media allies really want is to torpedo [[Attorney General]] [[William Barr]]’s probe into the origins of the Russian “collusion” hoax.  The whistleblower complaint and news reports of the [[Australia]] call both serve the same dual-purpose: to ­advance the anti-Trump operation and to shield its perpetrators by smearing Barr and discrediting the investigations under his authority.

The whistleblower’s written complaint, based entirely on hearsay, presents Trump’s request that the Ukrainian leader work with Barr to “get to the bottom” of the collusion hoax as part of the alleged ''quid pro quo''. That suggests the whistleblower and his confreres in the ­intelligence apparatus are worried about Barr’s investigation and what it will ­uncover about their spying on the Trump campaign.  The FBI’s investigation began in July 2016, based on a tip from [[Alexander Downer]], then Australia’s envoy to [[Britain]]. He alleged that Trump volunteer [[George Papadopoulos]] told him that the Russians had damaging ­information on Clinton.
