HPSCI and SSCI leadership overcame @DevinNunes' objections by stripping out intelligence whistleblowing reforms, passed through HPSCI and bipartisanly through SSCI. I'm going to write about the reforms with specificity, had been waiting to see the final bill, but I'm not happy.

Here's a great piece by @ak_mack on Nunes' objections (with @NatlSecCnslrs and I talking about the whistleblowing provisions). foreignpolicy.com/2020/12/11/dev…
And for POLITICO Pro subscribers, here's @martinmatishak's piece on the compromise legislation moving with the omni. Believe he was the first (and only) to report on the successful compromise.

Lastly, as a quick clarifier, I'm not unhappy with the proposed reforms--on the contrary, I'm thrilled--but I'm unhappy they were scrapped to appease a rogue Ranking Member. Whistleblowers and the IC need these reforms ASAP; partisans shouldn't stand in the way.
