Nunes Aide Is Leaking the Ukraine Whistleblower’s Name, Sources Say

[Sunburn74]

Since that breaks whistleblower protection laws, shouldn't they be fired and/or go to prison?

I would think so. Seems like an obvious way to get yourself in trouble...

I want desperately to heal the rift in our politics. Republicans are making it so difficult.

I bet AG Barr's totally non-corrupt justice department will get right on that.

 

[UNCjigga]

Between this guy and Kash Patel, Nunes has had some 100% pure shitburger aides. I guess the shit really does attract the flies.

Have to destroy GOP, then heal. Otherwise it's going to be like Steve Jobs healing cancer.

And all for naught. The facts are indisputed by anyone. It's just to be a dick and/or intimidate witnesses to other crimes.

Fuck you, Libtard. Hail Trump! He is our voice! He alone can fix it!

Then it would simply be Nunes himself who did the leak on the House floor. I've already raised this point on the threads about Congress allowing themselves unfettered access to any tax return. With Congress Critters having absolute immunity under the "Speech and Debate" clause of the Constitution there's literally zero limits on them destroying anyone's privacy on a whim or to gain momentary political advantage. Today it's the whistleblower's name, tomorrow it's reading someone's medical reports, whatever.

Then lock Nunes the fuck up if that happens. As for the rest of your post, I'll let you speculate as to why I find it offensive.

Nunes continues to prove over and over again that he is basically a piece of shit.

 

[Thebobo]

Devin Nunes is one of the best examples of ‘party before country’ that we have today. What a worthless piece of shit.

Yep when I need to vomit I watch the sniveling shit head on fox.

Devin Nunes is an indefensible POS, but let’s not pretent the media isn’t salivating at the idea of exposing who the whistleblower is, not to mention the exhaustive invasion of privacy that the whistleblower will inevitably suffer

Why does that matter? The media doesn’t have a duty to protect his identity - Nunes does.

Knowing the media's history they probably wouldn't publish. Some right wing rag however will. Any credible main stream media outlet who came out first with the name would suffer for it. The media knew the name of Mark Felt and hid it until he died.

We're getting the "They're just as bad!" routine.

Exposing the whistleblower is just another aspect of the stochastic terrorism the GOP loves so well. Inflame the crazies in their base? Sure, why not? They figure it'll never get to them.

 

[BUTCH1]

Yes, just as with Barr’s investigation into federal law enforcement this is intended to send a clear message that you expose the president’s criminal activity at your own risk.

Think how far we have fallen.

The whole Barr investigating his own justice Dept is just mind-boggling, the FISA warrant process is a lengthy and complex process that has to approved by Federal judges and now this buffoon is flying around the world looking for ghosts?. I hope all these amoral asshole's realize they are cementing their name's in history as the one's that possibly ruined our democracy.

You see, this is why every POTUS or even most candidates have released their tax returns for scrunity, going back to Eisenhower. Oh, except one, TRUMP, "it's under audit" was the laughable excuse then no excuse was given, what's up with that?.

Reported shouting could be heard between and Republican and Democrat at questioning of Vindman. GOP trying to out whistleblower by naming everyone around them. Process of elimination. Democrats put a stop to it.

Snipe hunts are such fun aren't they?

It is criminal to release the identity of the whisteblower, but grossly irresponsible to publish it. Trump era politics would be impossible without social media.

So, please tell me....why are Republicans seemingly so intent on getting the whistleblower's name out there in the first place? It seems to me someone is salivating to get his name out there, and it isn't the media or Democrats.

They claim they want to talk to the whistleblower, as if his or her testimony is somehow relevant to the process. Which is odd, because it was they who claimed that the whistleblower had no firsthand knowledge of the issues he or she complained of, back when it was just the whistleblower. But now that they're deposing the people who do have firsthand knowledge, somehow the whistleblower is the one whose testimony really matters. Like all GOP talking points, upon a mere moment's reflection, things just don't seem to quite add up...

Yet in spite of these odd lapses in logic, Devin Nunes, his cow, his mom, and even his cow's mom, want you to know that they know what they're doing and everything is just A-OK.

Which is worse?
