Originally posted by Sam View PostThat has nothing to do with the question. Does Trump's action serve to further protect the alleged whistleblower from threat or harassment or does his action serve to further threats and harassment against the alleged whistleblower?
You know the answer, same as everyone.
--SamThe first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

To answer his question, a man attempting to hide behind the fig leaf of whistleblower while coordinating the passing off of hearsay with a congressman in a transparent attempt to fraudulently take down a sitting president absolutely deserves to be exposed to ridicule in furthering of the national interest. Legitimate whistleblowers should absolutely be protected. Those actively attempting to undermine the administration should be prosecuted, not protected.Enter the Church and wash away your sins. For here there is a hospital and not a court of law. Do not be ashamed to enter the Church; be ashamed when you sin, but not when you repent. – St. John Chrysostom

But, again, the point here is whether blasting the name of an alleged whistleblower is going to further national security and the general interest in whistleblowers exposing corrupt actions in government or work against it. Folks here seem to indicate that they don't care if such retaliatory measures deter future whistleblower complaints -- so long as those complaints involve Republican administrations.

Originally posted by Mountain Man View PostThe whistleblower's name has been public knowledge for two-months after it was published by Real Clear Investigations at the end of October, and it is easily found using any internet search engine, including the heavily censored Google (when I searched for "whistleblower identity", it was the third result).
Complaining about Trump mentioning something that has been in the wild for 8-weeks is a bit silly.

Originally posted by Sam View PostThe whistleblower is not an "accuser". The people with direct evidence and knowledge of the call and pressure campaign are the people that Trump could "face" at trial -- but he's blocked some of them from testifying, didn't allow his lawyers to participate at the Judiciary hearing, and McConnell is blocking witnesses testimony at trial.

Originally posted by Sparko View PostOf course he is an "accuser" Sam. He is the one who started the whole thing. His words are what they impeached him on. Complete hearsay. If they needed actual witnesses and Trump blocked them, then they should have waited for the Supreme Court to rule on it instead of impeaching him on the word of the whistleblower. Congress at least should have been able to question him.
The rest is the same old claptrap about hearsay has been shown false hundreds of times.

2. If it were so important, why didn't Nadler and Crew actually submit official subpoenas?
3. If time were such an issue, why are they now sitting on their hands?
And the whistleblower did use hearsay. He had no direct knowledge of the phone call. That is hearsay. Or worse. He could just be lying. That is why he needed to be put in front of congress for questioning.
