A very wrong thing to do.
Why?
Because it was unnecessary, potentially illegal, put's his life and his family in jeopardy. Everything in the report was independently verified. The only reason to do this is to ruin a man's life for doing the right thing and reporting on something even his superiors agreed was credible.
You guys are just nuts.
Think of precedents - if we can't protect whistle blowers reporting on unethical conduct from our government - who will take the risk of reporting?
What is so weird is it's typically the RIGHT that takes the position of checks and balance on the government. Things have certainly changed.
Whistle blowers that are politically aligned with a party is of suspicious nature. And there were attacks on people, people in public places, and their property and going in their property during the last couple years of Obama's Presidency and the first couple years of Trump's. By Antifa and BLM or people who supported them. More and more weapons are being purchased. If someone is in a restaurant and a group comes in threatening them, do they have the right to pull out a handgun and start shooting?
There is no indication that this whistle blower is partisan in his report. As has been repeatedly pointed out - the report was found CREDIBLE by multiple investigators. Further - testimony and records supported each of the points. So whether or not the whistle blower had ulterior motives (which frankly seems to be assigned to ANY one who dares raise objection to what Trump does) is irrelevant - the facts stand and support the report independent of who wrote it. That should and did spark an investigation.
What's happening now is nothing short of a vendetta against him, and it's disturbing.
So suddenly, now, death threats and violence against government whistle blowers is acceptable? There is a reason we have laws and rules in place protecting them and that reason has nothing to do with this one person, but all the persons going on from here.
You want to be able to hold our government accountable? Well left and right, from media to whistle blowers, you are chopping down the trees.
