re: I’d Like to Hear Some Arguments Why the ID of the Whistleblower is Necessary

What if it's arson? Would it be a good idea to interview the person who first saw the fire if the fire is learned to be Arson?

/\ THIS /\ is the perfect answer to the question of "why do we need the ID and cross examination of the "wb" " !!!!

I am ashamed that I didn't;t think of this analogy before = PERFECT :bow:

Yes, I agree....if it's not him why hasn't he
come forward to deny it?

Seems to me it’s completely irrelevant in this context. All he/she did was highlight a potentially illegal phone call

Nothing in the phone call was illegal. That alone should bring up questions as to who the WB is and why they felt the need make such a claim.

The WB did not even have first hand (nor even second-hand knowledge) of the call. Hearsay of hearsay is not "evidence", it's gossip. Someone trying to make such an official claim (especially one that brings a Presidency near Impeachment charges) on something so specious needs to be outed so we can find out why they did this.

There is no legal requirement that the WB's identity remain secret. Period. Combine that with the whole foundation of the complaint being false to begin with and that the whistleblower lied on his complaint about not being in contact with any member of Congress nor their staff prior to filing it and we come up with the very real probability that the filing itself was a crime (thus the filer is outed).

And that doesn't even begin to get into the potential Due Process violation should this go to the Senate (but I would argue that going to an actual Impeachment Inquiry should be enough to trigger Due Process since the House can Impeach even though they alone do not have the ability to remove a President).

I heard a stat somewhere that said there were 8 whistle blowers during the Obama administration and all 8 were arrested.

If that's true, then, cant we simply play by the same set of rules? Politicians shouldnt be allowed to play by 2 different sets depending on what side they are on.

To testify before the person he accused.
Hes 3rd party information, either throw it out or he must testify.

The accused has a right to confront their accuser

It’s patently unfair to keep it secret. What stops any partisan whacko from coming out with bullcrap under the protection of some “whistleblower” protection!?

What if the WB is Hunter Biden? What if the WB is Schiff's wife? The WB is probably a Dem party hack.

I have a whistleblower that says you got Hillary Clinton pregnant. Now despite the fact that she’s not pregnant doesn’t matter. We’re going to need to have you removed from whatever job you have and send you packing... Oh, who’s the whistle blower? Sorry that’s confidential, but it may be your wife’s boyfriend.
