Criticize a whistleblower, go to Ethics jail?

Adam Schiff didn’t get quite that explicit in his memo today outlining the rules of the impeachment inquiry hearings, but that certainly seems to be the subtext.

Schiff instructed House Intelligence panel members that they’d better not “facilitate any efforts by President Trump or his allies to threaten, intimidate, or retaliate against the whistleblower who courageously and lawfully raised concerns about the President’s conduct.”

In the first place, there is no law prohibiting the disclosure of the identity of a whistleblower who becomes part of an investigation..

Eric Ciaramella must be a horrible witness for their case or they wouldn’t be going to such great lengths hiding him.

“facilitate any efforts by President Trump or his allies to threaten, intimidate, or retaliate against the whistleblower who courageously and lawfully raised concerns about the President’s conduct.”

SS-Oberst-Gruppenführer Schitt left out "historically" after courageously.

I wonder of Gruppenführer Schitt will permit the unwashed masses to laugh at the "whistle-blower?"

When a so called whistle blower gives testimony in a trial then they are no longer a whistle blower. They are taking on the from of a witness. In this case they are also an accuser. Therefore the person who they are accusing has the constitutional right to face their accuser. The accused has the right to cross examine the accuser. No law can take away those rights. Those who are trying to do so deserve to be charged with crimes themselves.
The only time a whistle blower could maintain a secret identity is if they simply pointed investigators to a matter in which the investigators can find information that is supported by other means without the whistle blower actually giving any testimony at all against the accused.

These democrats are totally twisting the rule of law. They are playing on emotions. They are making it seem as if their witness has some magical protection while the accused has none.

This is a total travesty of justice.

Fire Eric Ciaramella, since nobody knows who the whistleblower is, he can be fired without a problem.

Thought CIA spies were able to defend themselves from about any attacks? When did they become pajama boys? He is a member of the Barak coup and Shiff for Brains is hiding it.
