I do not want to hear any Republicans droning on about the rule of law -ever. They are hypocrites.

This is what the GOP has become. A party of jury and witness tamperers. They are “The Mob” now.

Absolutely vile behavior. And criminal. They must face charges.

Republicans are pushing to out the whistleblower because:

  1. They’re grasping for anything in light of the devastating facts of the clear corrupt acts by Aged Orange
  2. They realize their key function in providing daily content for their media propagandists, who need something, anything, to promote Trump and demonize liberals, 24/7

This dovetails nicely with Boss Tweet’s desire for REVENGE over all else.

Trump is also very vengeful, his need for revenge is what gives him purpose. It’s why he hates the Northeast states and CA because they rejected him. He want to make WB suffer for daring to cross him.

Judge Jackson has more patience than I. I’d throw the bastards in jail, and keep them there for the length of the trial. Then I’d drag it out, take plenty of time off during the holidays, squeeze in a couple of urgent meter-maid cases in between, maybe take a sabbatical and teach a semester abroad…

If the whistleblower is outed in violation of the law, people should be held accountable regardless of the position they hold. People like Rand Paul, Jim Jordan and others now. And Trump after his term.

“It’s unclear why Republicans are still gunning to out the person who initially raised allegations of Trump’s pressure campaign.”

“Unclear”?

Seriously?!

I’m no professional reporter with a journalism degree, but I think I might be able to help you with that…

This is lawless behavior, pure and simple, and it needs to be confronted. Outing jurors, threatening whistleblowers, all of that is meant to expose the people so that the right wing hate machine can kick into gear and inundate them with death threats and ruin their lives with fear. They have played this game many times and gotten away with it, and the system needs to respond forcefully to stop it. Our justice system is under threat by these actions, if it won’t stand up and shut down the actions of these lawless buffoons we’re really going to have problems.

It’s crystal clear why they’re trying to out the whistleblower. It’s to intimidate potential future whistleblowers and any witnesses who might validate the whistleblower’s complaint.

Because they are hateful little pieces of shit, of course.
