Jeh Johnson: Whistleblower Protection Is Fundamental | MSNBC
I was hoping for a person with integrity to become The Whistleblower and here they are. He immediately has to threaten but their very life?. He is unraveling isn’t he!
@Judith Smith i don’t know about that, it would mean a whole bunch more people knowing his/her identity. there’s already too much info about them like they work for the CIA – this alone may be enough for trumps people to narrow down who it is.
tRUMP is a thug, a sick man calling others people sick while spewing his suggested threats ๐

Yes he is unraveling, my neighbor
Yes I remember how they protected the whistleblower Edward Snowden during the Obama administration!
They are sickening, this is what happens when you can’t win
The people who aided the process of covering, hiding, twisting, handeling, ……………………. all of DT’s bs, needs to also be held accountable.
They will flee to Argentina like the defeated Natzis.
@K. Cook His supporters got divorced from reality quite awhile back .. they’re the same people who spent 8 long years wailing and gnashing their teeth over Obama supposedly outlawing Christmas, seizing everyone’s guns, forcing Sharia law on the nation, forcing everyone into FEMA camps, etc. They seem not to even notice that none of those things ever actually happened, or that they got suckered as the racist fools they are. Overnight they became Trumpist fools and they’re still as delusional as ever ๐
Someone needs to alert the FBI to despatch a witness protection detail to Rudy Giuliani immediately before he and his phone are ‘handled like the good old days. ‘
yes, as in the domestic violence run home, each person is pitted against the other, in keeping loyalty to the abuser, in order to survive, not telling in fear of retribution, is key in keeping the secret, thereby keeping the abuser in power
โWar on whistle blowersโ that frustrates little Donnie.
Peggy Trawick There is no โwar on whistleblowersโ. They had to change the โcomplaintโ form in order to classify this person as a โwhistleblowerโ. Someone who hears a rumor can now call themselves a โwhistleblowerโ.
How can you call this a โwar on whistleblowersโ, dummy?
Sonny Tuft Democrats have gone completely crazy,itโs scary.All these accusations,name calling they have whipped themselves into a frenzy..It is mob rule,Everything like Russian collusion ,fake dossier now Ukraine is another attempt at bringing down a duly elected president….truly pathetic
John Carter …and one of the names they call us is โfascistsโ. How can they keep a straight face?
Sonny Tuft Democrats have now gone 3 years without doing a single thing to help or govern our country.Trump was elected because people are sick of politicians and nothing getting done.they know thereโs no way they can win an election against Trump so their in full panic mode to get him out,which is doing nothing but energizing more support for Trump.This is the swamp at its finest and now another year with democrats completely ignoring the needs of the country.
Raoul Fleckman if you didnโt get the jest of what I was saying ,then your ability to problem solve is quite limited and that my fine friend is something you ether have or donโt have.i have noticed when people start in on grammar checking they lack any substance for their argument. Ps.i lost my right arm to a convenience store robbery I witnessed 4 years ago,soo..excuse me for my lack of dexterity.
Itโs about time some Republicans have come to there sense and at least recognize a need for an impeachment inquiry! That is a big step in the right direction. The oversight committee has a wealth of materials that will help them move in the right direction towards Impeachment of this corrupt President. The United States of America deserve better. I love my country and pray Justice will prevail. ๐
I wish everyone would leave Trump alone; alone on a desert island, solitary confinement, rubber room, Siberia, etc.
“Whistleblower Protection Is Fundamental” Tell that to Ed Snowden…
Well, now, Edward Snowden did not really put together the traditional formal reporting complaint, as stipulated in the Whistleblower Statute, DID HE?!?!?!? Instead he gave all of the information in his possesion to – wait for it – RUSSIA!!!!!!!!!!
@Flummoxed Marmoset any proof of that claim?
‘These people are sick’ – coming from a man who is so sick that he does not know that he is seriously ill. Praying hard for a swift removal!
A true historically corrupt individual calling people doing their fundamental job traitors is beyond belief. Incredible.
Democratic New York Rep. Jerrold Nadler is going crazy in his attempt to throw President Donald Trump out of office.
The House Judiciary Committee chairman is so enamored with the prospect of undoing the 2016 election that he is willing to repeat false interpretations of former special counsel Robert Muellerโs report just to get it done.
Fox News reported that during the Democratic press conference about Muellerโs testimony, Nadler claimed that the only reason Trump was not indicted was that he was a sitting president. Nadler even referenced a specific exchange between Mueller and Democratic California Rep. Ted Lieu.
โHe told us in a remarkable exchange with Mr. Lieu that but for the Department of Justice policy prohibiting [him] from doing so, he would have indicted President Trump,โ Nadler said.
Nadler seems to forget that Mueller himself went out of his way to debunk the claim after Democrats began treating it as the Holy Grail of Impeachment.
In the exchange, Lieu asked Mueller to clarify his decision not to indict Trump, asking, โthe reason that you did not indict the president is because of the OLC opinion that you cannot indict a sitting president, correct?โ
โCorrect,โ Mueller responded.
That was the bombshell that Democrats were looking for in an otherwise dreary set of hearings.
Unfortunately for the left, it was simply too good to be true. Mere hours later, Mueller took it upon himself to clarify his response.
Mueller adding a correction to his testimony this morning…
“I want to go back to one thing that was said this morning by Mr. Lieu who said, and I quote, ‘you didnโt charge the president because of the OLC opinion.’ That is not the correct way to say it.”
โI want to add one correction to my testimony this morning,โ Mueller said before beginning his second hearing. โI want to go back to one thing that was said this morning by Mr. Lieu, who said and I quote, โYou didnโt charge the president because of the OLC opinion.โ That is not the correct way to say it. As we say in the report and as I said at the opening, we did not reach a determination as to whether the president committed a crime.โ
@WHO KNEW THIS WOULD HAPPEN? Another person who hasn’t read the Mueller Report. It contains 10 separate examples of how the administration weren’t cooperating with the SC to the best of their abilities, muddying the investigation by withholding information and/or provided misinformation. Which is obstruction by definition.
Americans! Time to roast this pumpkin for good!!
In time for Halloween, with left-overs for America’s Thanksgiving.
My heart sank when I first heard the threats from 45. He is a disgrace and a real danger to democracy and world
Who else can’t wait to see who donald rump is going to be dating in prison? On his new reality show “behind the apprentice.”
R-18.
Wow what a seachange, everyone NOW seems to love whistleblowers and demand they be protected.
I’d like to know who that ogre was that was laughing
You gotta laugh at this buffoon (or else you sink into an abyss of despair) those infantile/baby hand-gestures give it away – mentally, his comprehension of the world around him is that of a 5 year old.
Mad King Donnie says, “Off with their Head!”
A sick man calling others people sick while spewing his suggested threats ๐
these are my friends now; we are together. now you know why.
