Sir, you are either lying or unaware of the facts.

Here is the first letter from the Intelligence Community IG to Schiff, dated September 9. intelligence.house.gov/uploadedfiles/…

That is when Rep. Schiff first became aware that a complaint existed, but did not know what it was about.
After the IG received the complaint on Aug. 12, he took 14 days to review it & determine whether it was credible and met the legal definition of an "urgent concern."

Then, he sent the complaint to the acting director of national intelligence on Aug. 26.
The whistleblower addressed his letter to Burr and Schiff, but that doesn't mean he filed it with them. That wouldn't have been lawful.

He followed whistleblower procedures and filed his complaint with the IG.
According to your inaccurate timeline, Republican Sen. Burr would have also been sitting on this complaint ...

Trump's rebuttal to the current situation is a fever dream of nonsense.

He's relying on the public to not pay attention, to not read the relevant documents ...
So, here are the relevant documents so far:

1) The White House's own release of the call with the Ukrainian president: whitehouse.gov/wp-content/upl…
2) Here's the whistleblower complaint: intelligence.house.gov/uploadedfiles/…

What was alarming about how the White House handled the record of the conversation?

According to a person familiar with the content of the complaint, it has to do with how the record was stored.
When the call was over, senior White House officials pulled the verbatim transcript out of the system that it is traditionally stored in and put it into a separate system reserved for extremely sensitive/highly compartmented programs.
The call had nothing to do with highly classified programs, but by moving it into this separate system, the White House could control who could see the transcript: only a very small group of people.

House Intelligence Committee has released the two letters it received from the Intelligence Community Inspector General.

Sept. 9 (alerting the committee to the existence of the complaint): intelligence.house.gov/uploadedfiles/…
Sept. 17: intelligence.house.gov/uploadedfiles/…
IC Inspector General told @RepAdamSchiff that:

The "subject matter involved in the complainant’s disclosure not only falls within the DNI’s jurisdiction, but relates to one of the most significant and important of the DNI’s responsibilities to the American people.”

Here is the number-two House Republican not only ignoring the real story, but literally _making up_ a lie to try to shift focus away from @realDonaldTrump's misconduct. The complaint was _dated_ August 12; that's _not_ when @RepAdamSchiff "knew about it."

So. Much. Bad. Faith.
@realDonaldTrump @RepAdamSchiff By law, the complaint had to go to the IC Inspector General first, and then the (Acting) DNI, even though it's formally _addressed_ to the chairmen of the two congressional intelligence committees:

law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/50…
@realDonaldTrump @RepAdamSchiff The IC Inspector General then notified Chairman Burr and Chairman Schiff on _September 9_:

*papers rustling* nope, nothing here either...

Looks like I'm all out of fucks to give today. Fresh out.

TIME TO READ THE WHISTLEBLOWER SCREECH!!
2) The link so you can follow along on what will doubtlessly be a well thought out and articulate document full of thoroughly researched facts, logical conclusions, and absolutely no partisan hackery.

House Intelligence Committee chairman Adam Schiff has subpoenaed Acting DNI Maguire, alleging Maguire is unlawfully withholding a whistleblower disclosure involving an “urgent concern.”

Below/here the letter accompanying Schiff’s subpoena: intelligence.house.gov/uploadedfiles/…
Schiff said 10+ days had passed since Maguire was obligated to deliver a complaint deemed "credible" by the Inspector General of the Intelligence Community

Per Schiff, ODNI is "improperly" citing complaint's "confidential and potentially privileged communications" as its reason
“The Committee can only conclude ... that the serious misconduct at issue involves the President of the United States and/or other senior White House or Administration officials,” Schiff’s letter said.
