And your hesitating - Why Congressman?

Why wouldn’t you?

This is the People’s Business and the president is a corrupt criminal, if not in fact an agent of a foreign power willing or no.

Because, just like the last whistleblower, releasing the complaint can identify them and subject them to retaliation.

If you thought last week was exhausting, it appears even as Congress is on break this week may be even more of a roller coaster. Trump’s hair is on fire!

Again, depends what’s in it. Doesn’t need a name for people in the know to be able to figure out who it is, particularly if whatever details in it are only known to a small circle of folks.

I’ve been fairly resistant to taking cheap pot-shots at House leadership, but I can’t say that Rep. Neal’s handling of his committee has especially impressed me.

Shit or get off the pot, sir.

For crying in the sink, enough hesitation. All the evidence for impeachment needs to get out now. This is do or die.

Maybe they want permission from the WB. Trump will want that person destroyed.

Knowing Richie Neal’s rep I’m not optimistic, but I hope this is a sign that Dems are going to just keep throwing couches onto the dumpster fire. If they go this one-issue (Ukrainian phone call) route, I’m going to lose my mind.

We may well have to better Codify WBs as they proliferate.

The Tax person could be WhistleBlower The Second

As more people decide to Jump Ship in proportion to the Amount of Evil this truly Evil man possesses

I’m looking for a fairly circumscribed listing, say, getting up to WhistleBlower The Twenty Third

It all depends how deep into the shit Barr is, at some point it should be clear that carrying water for a disloyal blabbermouth like Trump is hazardous and the interests of the plutocracy would be served just as well by President Karen Pence.

Mr. Neal is mulling the possibility of maybe convening a panel to start looking into the steps that might be taken to initiate a preliminary investigation into whether or not it would be a good idea to perhaps move towards a more formal, yet incremental and exploratory probe of Trump’s many brazen crimes. His inclination is to not appear partisan, therefore he wants to let GOP minority leaders know that he would never rush to judgement when it comes to something as possibly divisive as conducting oversight.
