    Let me give a guess why this whistleblower does not want to be named. He doesn't want death threats. He does not want his wife followed everywhere she goes . He does not want pubs hiring private investigators to tear into his life 20 years ago, snooping through his garbage, and harassing his neighbors for dirt. or talking to his adult daughters lesbian ex-girlfriend, and blogging about his 21 year old nephew going into rehab, or dredging up his sisters very old conviction for prostitution when she was 17. Or looking over the state survey citations of the nursing facility his Dad is living in, and bringing up the medical bills that went to collection 6 years before and his deceased mothers bankruptcy.

    Maybe he's scared of how dirty Donald Trump plays, when he overheard him looking for dirt on someone else. Maybe that has more to do with it that being fired. He's obviously an oversensitive special snowflake type. .

    Nobody did that... the post you responded to and this entire thread is about alleged actions, not quotes.. you are the one who brought up quotes/words...

    Wow... you are actually pretty good at that stuff too.... I'm sure there's an opening on the Trump campaign staff somewhere for somebody with these capabilities, but I hope you don't go that way... It's a career dead end...

    I know. But he claimed "republicans" said something they didn't say. I was calling his lie. Same thing you do every day.

    I already applied. But during the interview I came across as too Pollyanna to fit in..

    "Says who? Please quote the republican who said that" (quoting "Republicans feel the need to endanger the life and safety of this legally protected whistleblower.")"

    Trump called the WB a traitor. Any number of Trump's cult fringe element would be glad to take him out ... if they knew his identity.…

    Where exactly did he "claim Republicans say something they didn't say"??

    Here is the full post you responded to that started this detour

    Republicans feel the need to endanger the life and safety of this legally protected whistleblower.

    Are there quotes in there?? Statements of some kind?

    He's referring to the actions of this staffer...

    full of schiff's flying monkeys leaked the leaker Eric Ciaramella's name weeks ago. What's the big deal? That everyone will know the leaker is a LW operative that worked for creepy corrupt joe 30330?

    Oh, my! :roll:

    Like everything surrounding this hoax you have to make wild assumptions to get to corroborate your sides conclusions. By the way, if the name was leaked why don't we know it? Things that make you say hmmmmm.

    By the way, why are you guys wanting to impeach without konwing this person's background? hmmmm

    This “leak” is actually illegal. The whistleblower is protected by federal law.

    but don’t let that get in the way of a good partisan leak ;)

    "So why make up other peoples' words" Because actions are not quotable since there are no words..

    I assume it would be a federal crime to leak the identity of the whistleblower. If so, Harvey should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

    Stop with this BS. The republicans have been in everyone of these “depositions”. There at 47 know members of the Republican Party that have attended or been invited to attend these hearings.

    And the rules by witch the demos are running these hearings were enacted by...wait for it......The republicans to hide what they were doing in the Benghazi hearings. The only difference is that the dems are allowing the republican in these hearings, when they didn’t allow dems into the Clinton Benghazi hearings, but they are being held out of the public eye LIKE EVERY OTHER GRAND JURY.

    What does that have to do with anything? There ability to attend, doesn't mean that information is allowed to be public...in fact quite the opposite.

    The Beneghazi hearings were public, at least everything that didn't deal with classified material. I am not asking for classified material to be leaked...they can have two hearing, like the GOP did with Beneghazi and Russia

    They both come from districts with smelly filthy cattle feed lots. The stench softens up the voters brains and allows a couple of stale farts like Nunez and McCarthy to ooze their way into congress. In San Diego, another beauty Duncan Hunter is still in the House after being indicted on 63 charges. He’s presently trying to weasel his way out by blaming it all on his wife. What a low life scumbag is he....

    "What does that have to do with anything?" It has to do with answering " Nice to shine a little light on the darkness behind this shadow campaign."

    You are correct, sir! Their identity is not protected, only their job.

    I bet you are correct, although i think it would depend on his source. For example, if he is just spreading a name because he thinks that is the whistleblower - no punishment. If he someone got access to the classified and protected filings or got the name from someone who did, then he is probably in violation of the law.
