This whole things is dirty. There are a few concerns here...

#1  The formatting was spot on for an official "report." A whistleblower submission is not formatted and in fact, is pretty generic. Can be a note, phone call, face to face, electronic submission, etc.
#2  The information utilized was pretty thorough for being a third party to that info. Must have took great notes. I'm sure we've all played the telephone game and know information gets pretty twisted in just one pass through let alone three.
#3  Speaking of notes, the report and attachments contained classified info. That means, by law, the report must be created on a classified system. Also, all notes utilized for that writing are also classified even in draft form. This report took multiple days, maybe weeks. Where was the classified material stored? Multiple people broke laws here. If written on a classified system, see #4.
#4  Timeline shows Congress had been aware well before we were. Did the whistleblower and lawyers get help in formulating this complaint? If you understand anything about how the report was formatted, the answer is yes. Typically this style of report is written by the IG and team who took the complaint. We know this isn't the case here because he/she went hands-off after realizing it wasn't their matter of concern.

Classified material can be shared with members of the intelligence committees of either house... That's why those committee members are there.

DNI Maguire said that the whistleblower did nothing wrong.
