Sen. Rand Paul Corrects Reporter: It Is Not Illegal For Media To Name The Whistleblower
Sen. Rand Paul told a reporter from "The Hill" Tuesday that it is absolutely not illegal for members of the media to reveal the name of the Ukraine phonecall whistleblower.
REPORTER: The whistleblower laws protect the whistleblower. You know it's illegal to out a whistleblower?
SEN. RAND PAUL: Actually, you see you've got that wrong too.
REPORTER: No, we don't.
RAND PAUL: You should work on the facts. The whistleblower statute protects the whistleblower from having his name revealed by the inspector general. Even The New York Times admits that no one else is under any legal obligation.
The other point, and you need to be really careful if you really are interested in the news, is the whistleblower actually is a material witness completely separate from being a whistleblower because he worked for Joe Biden at the same time Hunter Biden was receiving $50,000 per month. So the investigation into the corruption of Hunter Biden involves this whistleblower because he was there at the time.
Did he bring up the conflict of interest? Was there a discussion of this? What was his involvement with the relationship between Joe Biden and the prosecutor? There are a lot of questions the whistleblower has to answer.

It’s binding on the Intel Community ONLY.
And there is no protection from the Intel Community if anything is misrepresented. This Treasonous Hack misrepresented the charges on the form, so he has no protection whatsoever.
His only lawyer admits it’s a Coup.

CNN reporter Suzanne Malveaux, apparently upset over the fact that Paul wanted transparency in Democrats’ impeachment inquiry, aggressively confronted Paul over the issue.
“The whistleblower laws they protect the whistleblower,” Malveaux said. “You know it’s illegal to out a whistleblower?”
Paul immediately corrected her, saying, “Actually, you see you’ve got that wrong.”
“No, we don’t,” Malveaux falsely claimed as she became agitated.
Paul then proceeded to educate Malveaux on the laws surrounding the whistleblower.

Rand is fighting! Excellent!
I would bet money that the Reporter walked away from this exchange thinking, “I am smarter than the Senator because I know it is illegal for media to name the whistleblower, and the Senator just can’t grasp this.”
Wow! Fantastic. School those fake "journalist" bastards who refuse to acknowledge the truth of what's really going on here.
The big question is whether “The Hill” will run with the story the reporter submits. Or will it be extensively “edited” to make Trump look bad and Biden look good?
Suzanne Malveaux ... just one more “journalist” who would be cleaning Hillary’s bedpans for a living if CNN didn’t exist.
Imagine if the press performed in a manner similar to “investigating” Watergate. One reason it probably wouldn’t happen, outside of political bent, is that the bodies of the media would start showing up dead in parks and forested areas near where they work and live.
With one or two honorable exceptions, most Hill writers are leftists b.s. propagandists for the MARXIST Democratic machine.
Oops!

Where are the press standing up for whistleblowers?
Sounds like Rand Paul made this dame choke on her spoon-fed libtard talking points. Good on him, glad somebody’s not taking it.
