    So to be clear, you are all for these anonymous whistleblowers just coming forward at any time without backing up their claims?

    I seem to remember asking you about Hillary using Fusion GPS to get "opposition research" on a political opponent and you saying "so what". I also seem to remember asking you if you would be alright with Trump launching investigations into political opponents like Obama did with Trump and you said "so what".

    But, hey I know you think you have Trump boxed in like you did with Stormy, Mueller, Avenatti, NBC, Cohen, Manafort, Charlottesville etc.

    Totally false anology. I'm mean completely stupid.

    You are not a lawyer.

    Great analogy.

    There are so many witnesses now, the whistleblower isn’t needed, anymore. He did his job, sounding the alarm.

Their identities are kept private for a very good reason -- to protect those who report from retaliation and to encourage others who see abuse to contact the authorities charged with investigating it.
    Great examples.

    Who knew that Pencil neck would ever quote me??? LOL

    Been saying this for weeks...as have others in here. We don't need a whistleblower. We have the transcript!!!!!
    Let the lefty spin begin!

    And now here comes Pencil neck.............

    "Given that we already have the call record, we don't need the whistleblower, who wasn't on the call, to tell us what
    took place during the call," Schiff said on "Face the Nation" Sunday.

    Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
    empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
    pain in abortion.

    Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
    which has begun. To abort life is to end it.

    If they thought what they claimed was abuse was a problem, they'd have no problem saying who they are. The "I'm scared of retaliation" is nothing more than a coward's excuse.

    So you can't see the difference either, cunt?

    Hate to break it to you but the 911 caller in the example wasn't a witness. A true whistle blower has to be or they're nothing more than stating 2nd hand information.
