1. Many public servants no longer have their own desks and work in transient government co-working spaces

According to DNI Gabbard, she didn't see our Whistleblower complaint until two weeks ago yet ICIG - whom she praises - told our @wbaidlaw.bsky.social client last June 2025 that DNI was provided complete submission.
So which is the truth?
This is why our client needs to speak w/Congress.
