Rand Paul is standing up for all of us today in the senate. Whistleblower protections are a great thing and we should always protect the safety of a whistleblower. However it is a misconception that being a whistleblower allows you to remain anonymous in any circumstance. For example, in cases where salacious and unsubstantiated claims are made, in situations where the intelligence community is involved and legitimate questions of overreach and improper activities carried out by members of the intelligence community are important to a defense against said claims. There is no reason why a whistleblower cannot be named and questioned.
In that line of thinking, if Democrats are successful in opening up witnesses in the Senate Trial not only are the Biden's likely candidates to be called, but the more intelligent approach is actually to focus on the whistleblower. Rand Paul may force John Roberts to step aside and allow a vote to call the whistleblower as a witness in the Senate trial. This is not the house this is the Senate. This could happen.
Go ahead and have your little meltdown Virgil.
