Wiki not best source.
Internalized oppression is not as described in wiki. Rather it is when the oppressed group begins to take on the identity placed on them by the oppressor. Offending someone is never ok, though it is often considered so by the oppressor.
Agreed.
The inspector general investigated the whistleblowers tip and found credible evidence.
If I understand this correctly, the WB doesn’t have “first hand knowledge” — which is irrelevant because the transcripts validate the story the WB is telling.
Having the WB testify would provide a great TV moment, but no direct evidence. But, as the IG stated, credible evidence does exist. And Schiff would be right to expose that.
So by threatening the WB, hasn’t Graham already broken the law?
Fed employee intimidation: Chump did it first and most often, and not just to the WB. In fact, he hasn’t missed any opportunity in any situation since Jan 2017. I hope it is being recorded for future prosecutions. His Twitter account is prime evidence and judges won’t be able to accept “just joking” as an excuse
gangster: Chump never could manage it until he got to the WH. yes he had a fixer and he was crimin’…but he needed the full might of the fed. govt, a crooked AG, and unlimited money and legal and felonious bootlickers (and Putin)to finally be a gangster
I am loathe to give him any credit. Most gangsters have some chops and some balls and he will never have that. But yes, he finally made it. It took more money and tools than any other gangster in history to make it happen, more than any other gangster EVER had, but he made it.
Hmmm, just got to wondering what the reaction would be (apologies if someone else got here first) to a demand that those who ‘informed’ Trump, Giuliani, Don Jr., et al of Biden’s alleged ’malfeasance’ be identified and compelled to testify under oath before any investigation could be undertaken or considered legitimate? (Too much bothsiderism?)
Your first two sentences, absolutely true! The next one, uh, not at all. If Person A overhears a co-worker, Person B, talking about B’s girlfriend being a sole witness to a murder. If Person A goes to the DA, the DA sure as hell should be interviewing and subpoenaing if necessary the girlfriend. Person B, let alone Person A, doesn’t have anything relevant to contribute to a prosecution, and their testimony, even if somehow it were admitted into evidence, would do very little to strengthen a case against the murderer. The girlfriend, on the other hand, might well be the key to corroborating any other evidence an investigation may have uncovered, and to a conviction. Other than being the source of, or passing on, a tip Persons A and B are irrelevant and their identities contribute nothing to a hearing of fact.
Great for whom? A lot of folks thought the spectacle of Mueller testifying would be boffo TV. How’d that turn out?
Forward-looking statement?
Methinks Mz Lindsey should not be so
gung-ho about outing people. Just saying.
Who needs to reveal Devin’s Cow when you’ve already got the milk?
Can’t trust the republican Congress critters to do the right thing
I’m guessing that the death threats against the whistleblower are so credible and numerous that there is no way the Committee can both take testimony and protect their life. Especially because some of the repugs on the Committee cannot be trust to keep that secret…
So, now the inevitable riposte from the Reich-Wing Echo Chamber will be: “There IS NO WHISTLE BLOWER!!! It’s all a LIE created by the Demon-Crats to embarrass our Great President!!!”
I expect this line of un-reasoning to begin at no later than NOON Today EDT.
Chag Sameach everyone!
I tried, but I cud not improve on your comment.
Udderly cruel to reveal identity of WB.
The role and function of the whistleblower in the current situation is not unlike the role and function of Deep Throat in Watergate. They pointed to where there was evidence and what that evidence would disclose but what their actual words were was not the evidence. It is the job of the impeachment inquiry to follow the lead of the whistleblower find the evidence and do what ever the evidence reviews needs to be done. The whistleblower has done their job. There is no need for them to be questioned.
…and we did not know the identity of Deep Throat until over40 years after they had provided the information necessary ro find the evidence in Watergate.
