Deep State swamp rat blocks rand paul question

[WEATHER53]

What law did Paul attempt to break
The “Run your mouth and then hide about it” Law?

 

[Olde Europe]

The law cannot deny trump the right to face his accuser

that is every Americans right

Trump's accuser is the American people, as represented by the House of Representatives, a role currently delegated to the House Managers.

Trump had both the right and the opportunity to face his accusers, but the coward chickened out when he declined the invitation by the House Judiciary Committee.

Why would you want to know who the whistleblower is?

Don’t you understand whistleblowers?

WTF is that supposed to mean?

It means whistleblower has protections
One of those protections is remaining anonymous and protection against retribution

Now, other than to harass, what reason do you have to know his name?

The reason is that it’s the law and that does Trump your suspicions iof unverifiable mal intent

What makes content?

He reported what he had heard to the IG, as he should.
The IG affirmed what he had reported and so did Trump

Now, other than harassment, what is the reason you need to question the whistleblower?

Why is Rand Paul such a douche?

What law did Paul attempt to break

He tried to out the whistleblower in violation of the protection act

Rand Paul should be expelled from the Senate for this flagrant attempt to violate the law. He brought disrepute on the Senate and the Chief Justice of the United States. Of course when you are a Trump supporter why would you give damn about being disreputable.

Fear of harassment does not vacate fundamental rights to know your accuser.
You all constantly engage in projective speculation so to not deal with what is right in front of you based on how it Might adversely effect something in the future.

There is no such law. Whistleblowers have workplace protection, they do not have legal protection from being accountable for their accusations.

John Roberts blocks Rand Paul's question on whistleblower


John Roberts blocks Rand Paul's question on whistleblower

Sen. Rand Paul's (R-Ky.) attempt to ask about the whistleblower whose report helped spark the impeachment inquiry is running into a roadblock in the form of Chief Justice John Roberts.

A source confirmed that Roberts has indicated he would not read a question from Paul regarding the whistleblower at the center of the House impeachment inquiry.

Roberts is the worst republican appointment to the SC since eisenhower picked earl warren

Term 2, Trump needs to retire Roberts. Sekulow would make a good Chief Justice

. . . . Roberts needs a vacation. . . maybe they need to "Scalia" him?

Are whistleblower protections imaginary? Or is Rand Paul just that big of a douche?

It is a sleazy act by Paul in an attempt to intimidate and punish whistleblowers

He is accountable
Burden of proof is on you to prove what he said was inaccurate or malicious.

 

[rightwinger]

What is inaccurate in this complaint?

Whistleblower complaint, annotated

 

[Olde Europe]

Yep, and he wants the wistleblower's head on a pike so as to make future, would-be whistleblowers, who might report on the Mob Boss's criminality, think twice.

Trump can't retire Roberts. Once a SCOTUS is appointed, their term is for life, until they decide to retire themselves, or they are impeached. Might wanna go back to civics class.

Unless, of course, you have information that could lead to the impeachment of Roberts.

Exactly. And, depending on how this turns out, it might make it so nobody will ever report criminal behavior by politicians ever again.

That will be the day democracy dies.

 

[White 6]

Seems strange, the people on this board talking bad about conservative,Chief Justice John Roberts, who was nominated by George W. Bush, approved 78 to 22 in the Republican controlled Senate with 78 Republic votes and 1 independent. Makes you guys sound like whiny cry babies. I guess the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court sides with protection of the anonymity of the whistle-blower, where he presides. Get over it.

 

[Frankeneinstein]

Why would you want to know who the whistleblower is?

Don’t you understand whistleblowers?

There is no whistle blower

 

[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

Justice Roberts is what you get when Republicans try to be fair with the left. Sotomayor and Keegan is what you get when you play fair and the left tells you to go F yourselves.

 

[ABikerSailor]

You know, it's kinda amazing really to watch Trump supporters. When Roberts was appointed, lots of conservatives on here were cheering Trump's choice for SCOTUS and how great he was going to be.

Then? He makes a ruling that the Trumpettes disagree with, and now he's the worst swamp creature ever.

Trump supporters are sure fickle.

 

[Seawytch]

Yeah, Trump is not allowed to know his accuser. . . The Deep State is in charge of the nation now, the Constitution is just a damn piece of paper that is meaningless.


"In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence."

Impeachment isn't a criminal prosecution. There are laws that protect whistleblowers.

Only from immediate supervisors. They also have to report a crime.

No they don’t. They can also report ethics violations.
