Who is Michael K. Atkinson ?

How many had to Google the name?

He is the Intelligence Community Inspector General that accompanied the "whistleblower" in front of the DCI and the House Intel Committee and said that his information was "urgent".

How is he still in his job? Didn't Trump try to fire him?

Why isn't he mentioned more when the "whistleblower" is discussed?
