whistleblowing in the wind

From CBS News on 10/23/2019:

Top Republicans demand Democrats call whistleblower to testify publicly

This from a number of GOP Congress(almost ALL, white)men protesting impeachment inquiry depositions being conducted by three Democrat-controlled House committees in a secure room they're not allowed to be attending. Republican members of the three committees are allowed to and do attend these meetings. The "secrecy" is not FROM DEMOCRATS TO REPUBLICANS; it is in order to keep witnesses from comparing notes.

So now the three stooges, er, ranking Republican members of these committees have written a letter to Adam Schiff demanding the CIA-employed whistleblower testify. Hmm, what? These three congressmen are some dandies! Trump apologists - wait, wrong, why apologize for the best president ever - who are likely the spawn of ancestors who are both MEAN, like Heinrich Himmler,  and STUPID, well, like Donald Trump. The letter's signatories are Jim Jordan (OH), Devin Nunes (CA), and Michael McCaul (TX).

While the (thus far) anonymous whistleblower's report contributed to triggering the current impeachment inquiry, it was only reinforced as accurate by the White House-released transcript of the call it documented. The gist of the international presidential call was that President Trump was encouraging the Ukraine president to investigate dirt on Democrats while his administration suspended approved aid to the country. Since this became global news, Trump has also PUBLICLY called on a foreign government to investigate his political adversaries - PUBLICLY!! Trump has also had incendiary commentary regarding the whistleblower and their sources which has effectively angered his loyal followers - including some "very fine people" who conceivably would do harm to the whistleblower if his/her identity were known.

1). Whistleblower report confirmed accurate by WH call transcript.

2). Trump has openly committed the act that the impeachment inquiry is about.

3). Whistleblower's safety endangered if identity becomes known.

4). GOP congressional leaders demand public whistleblower testimony?

DUH!

This from the party that brought you the Iraq War based on "intelligence" that Saddam Hussein's regime still had weapons of mass destruction - which was OBVIOUSLY INCORRECT at the time and is now widely known to have been incorrect!

So let's expose the whistleblower even though their testimony has already been rendered not critical, watch as the Trump crazies kill this person, and thern we can all say, "Oh my, how awful - if only we knew!"
