Ukraine Whistleblower May Not Testify In Person

[Bush92]

Democrats are doing their damnedest to keep the inquiry illegitimate.

WASHINGTON—Lawyers for the CIA officer whose whistleblower complaint helped ignite an impeachment inquiry into President Trump have asked Congress whether their client could submit testimony in writing

Ukraine Whistleblower May Not Testify In Person

The whistleblower is a coward. What are they trying to hide? Because it’s Brennan, a biased political hack? The guy that was a communist in the 1950’s? This person must not have any credibility or Democrats wouldn’t be hiding them. Fucking coward.

All whistleblowers are protected by anonymity under the law. Otherwise they would be subject to retaliation.

Oh yes...why did they change the rule in August for second hand bullshit gossip to be allowed as a whistleblower?

 

[Bush92]

Don't worry! The 2nd Whistleblower is all teed up to testify...and has prior experience!

I don't see a problem with that. trump was given a take home test by Mueller for his lawyers to complete for him, because they knew he would be incapable of telling the truth.

And he failed even that buy refusing to answer any Obstruction questions.

He wasn't legally required to answer them. Furthermore, they were all designed to be perjury traps.

Yep, when above the law you don't have to answer questions from investigators.

You are a swamper so you don't quite get this, but absolutely Trump had to answer and any court would rule so, Mueller just didn't want to waste time since he couldn't bring indictment anyway.

No you are not. You can plead the 5th, but thats not what Trump did.

Besides, there is only one reason to not answer. Guilty as sin.

The dem impeachment is illegitimate
It is pure campaign propaganda
It's is a smear campaign
The Dem politicians are depending upon people being dumb enough to believe their lies

 

[edthecynic]

Protected by the deep state

Your scumbag heroes are the deep state, moron

And you are with your hero Putin.

Putin isn't my hero, dumbass. However, he worries me less than Congressional Democrats.

That's right, Hitler is your hero.

wow, the brainwashing in this one is strong
Russian collusion was debunked
Obammy and the swamp critters made it up
They RAPED our constitution
Obammy illegally used the FBI and the CIA as his secret political police
The indictments are coming
Hillary obstructed justice when she destroyed her emails, hard drives and cellphones
Obammy broke the law when he ordered the FBI to be his political spies.

Objectively observed, I disagree.

And as an aside, if you take that route...what about tbe next whistleblower and the next...and the one that pops up when it is a Dem in the hot seat...what then?

The thing is...it isn’t like a whistleblower can fabricate something and a get awZy with it.

If the enemy party and the media want it, and prevents the opposing party from participating, it can.

It is checked on multiple levels. And in this case it was taken seriously by men who were Trump appointees.

If you're going to take what you think is a legitimate shot at the king, at least have the spine to show your face.

Of what Trump appointees do you speak?

Let’s agree to disagree on that for now. The more important point imo is this:

And as an aside, if you take that route...what about the next whistleblower and the next...and the one that pops up when it is a Dem in the hot seat...what then?

First line, last post.

Shot at the king...interesting. King.

So you think, no matter who's tits are in the wringer - the whistle blower should be exposed?

And face retaliation - death threats - threats against family - loss of job?

That would certainly prevent whistle blowing.

Is that good?

Why should the accuser be believed over the accused when only one side can question him? When one side clearly presents their case as a work of fiction from the committee chairman?

Fan of the Inquisition?

The accuser isn’t automatically “believed”. Do you understand how the process works? They review the complaint, and investigate it, and based on that evidence, determine whether to move forward. The whistle blower is just the messenger.

There is no work of fiction at this point, only one side who seem to believe the president is above the law. I am willing to bet if this Obama and not Trump you would be singing a different tune.

The whistleblower is protected by anonymity precisely for the reasons we see laid out here in USMB. People calling for him to be fired, jailed, hung for treason. It is vitriolic lunacy that endangers a very important program that helps keep our government accountable.

Next time it might be a Dem President in the hot seat. What will you do then?

Nobody is required to be interrogated by the police without a lawyer present, and you aren't required to incriminate yourself. Ever heard of the 5th Amendment?

You don't know shit about the law, do you?

They did change the rule, dumbass:

Intelligence community changed whistleblower rules to include hearsay shortly before complaint was filed

The Federalist investigation revealed …

The brand new version of the whistleblower complaint form, which was not made public until after the transcript of Trump’s July 25 phone call with the Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky and the complaint addressed to Congress were made public, eliminates the first-hand knowledge requirement and allows employees to file whistleblower complaints even if they have zero direct knowledge of underlying evidence and only “heard about [wrongdoing] from others.”

The newly revised whistleblower document, called a “Disclosure of Urgent Concern” form, was uploaded September 24, a few days before the Trump complaint was declassified and publicly released. Markings indicate the form was actually revised in August 2019.​
