The question is whether “heard from others” is in the law. Some say it ain’t. That would mean the liar can be prosecuted. Some are saying he will be arrested for a crime.

I do not think the whistle blower statute was intended to cover indirect witnesses. For instance in criminal law one cannot evoke someone else’s privileges. Seems to me that would follow. Obviously the enemy has been cooking up this non sense for awhile. Hopefully they ensnare themselves.

A bill of attainder (also known as an act of attainder or writ of attainder or bill of pains and penalties) is an act of a legislature declaring a person or group of persons guilty of some crime and punishing them, often without a trial. As with attainder resulting from the normal judicial process, the effect of such a bill is to nullify the targeted person’s civil rights, most notably the right to own property (and thus pass it on to heirs), the right to a title of nobility, and, in at least the original usage, the right to life itself. Bills of attainder passed in Parliament by Henry VIII on 29 January 1542 resulted in the executions of a number of notable historical figures.

The use of these bills by Parliament eventually fell into disfavour due to the obvious potential for abuse and the violation of several legal principles, most importantly the right to due process, the precept that a law should address a particular form of behaviour rather than a specific individual or group, and the separation of powers

Speaking of whistleblowing:

Did Hunter Biden pay taxes on the “gift” of a diamond he received in China?

In courtrooms I believe they call it “heresay evidence”. i.e. worthless.
