Last week, the Intel Inspector General got roasted by Congress for not turning over a whistleblower complaint in the legally required seven days.
Now, the State Department’s IG, Steven Linick, an Obama appointee, has summoned congress to an “urgent briefing” this afternoon.

Per reporting:
“Linick reportedly asked for the meeting after his office obtained documents from the State Department's acting legal adviser.”
Sounds to me like State withheld information it was legally mandated to provide to Congress which Linick is now hastily forwarding.

Given the fact that last week’s drama centered on IGs’ obligation to forward *whistleblower complaints* though, don’t be surprised if State had received its own set of documented whistleblower concerns and buried them... until now.
We’ll see. Listen for more whistles today.

Correction re: responsibility to turn over the original whistleblower complaint.
