This whistleblower will eventually be revealed and questioned by the opposition, at which time he will be outed as a partisan hack under the direction of Adam Schiff and his story will fall apart.
The rats are scurrying.
Opposition? To truth and facts? Why do you think Republicans are opposed to the truth and facts?

BTW It is against federal law to compromise the identity of this concerned patriot whose report has been corroborated more than 6 times.

Interesting. The "truth and facts" haven't seemed to work very well for the left so far. Maybe they are alternative facts, Christine Blasie Ford style.


With regard to the whistle blower, if you think his identity, background, everything he has ever said or written won't be revealed, you are delusional.


Just like character witnesses in a court of law are cross examined to uncover facts that would deem their testimony inadmissible, or prove their inherent bias.

As egregious as Trump's and Rand Paul's threats are, they are just another attempt at deflection in an effort to create a diversion from Trump's corruption. Americans are fed up with the lawlessness of Donald Trump and he is rightly in deep trouble.

The President of the United States has decided that our national sovereignty is less significant than his own political performance.

Why do so many self-identifying Republicans, in America, reflexively support someone like this?

Someone who wasn't even a Republican until 2015 and whose values and policy positions don't have a whole lot to do with what Republicans believed before he came along?

Why has the Trump base suspended reason?

Republicans need to get on the right side of history.

If Rand Paul were a Real American he would release it himself. Stand on principle and do it yourself, don’t be a chicken Rand.

Never seen so many people asking for other to stick their neck out but are to sorry to do it themselves.

Is it any wonder that we get the worst of the worst in politics, and anyone who would stand up and sacrifice for their country gets ostracized.


Dumb.


And dumber.
Being patriotic has never been popular, convenient or easy.

I’m really disappointed in Rand. He was my choice in 2016. There’s no reason to publicize his name besides to put him in danger and discourage future whistleblowers.

Maybe he's still trying to pass as a Libertarian.

Doesn't matter. Little Donny Jr. went ahead and tweeted the 'purported name. So much for the Trump Org. 'firewall.' He's like a dictator's kid--immune from civility or moral behavior.

If I was an outed whistleblower and started receiving death threats as others have, I would record every single one of them and use it as evidence against the big mouth who thought everyone should know, and I would give them to every media outlet in the country. The whistleblower will become the sympathetic figure. Everyone knows why Trump wants the name out--so he can bully, harass and have Bill 'Roy Cohn' Barr investigate him.

"...A member of Congress who reveals the whistleblower's identity could be removed from committees or face other legislative sanctions; a member of the public risks a civil lawsuit from the whistleblower's legal team, which has threatened to hold anyone who reveals the name personally liable if the disclosure results in harm to the whistleblower or the person's family...."

"But as with so many of our supposed laws, compliance depends largely on a sense of integrity and voluntary compliance," McLaughlin said. "You just have to expect people to obey the law and the established practices, which of course in this administration has not always been the case..."

"The whole purpose of that law was to allow people to be able to speak to fraud or crimes they see within their jobs and without having to pay a price for vengeance and retribution," said Panetta, adding that having a president publicly reveal a whistleblower's name would be "unprecedented in history."
