Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky) says, if necessary, he’ll fight for his First Amendment rights after Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts censored a question he had posed at the impeachment trial.
The question was about the origins of the Democrats’ impeachment inquiry, which automatically involves the left-wing “whistleblower.”
For the record, there’s no law preventing Senator Paul from identifying the “whistleblower,” whose anonymous complaint — based on third-hand hearsay — triggered the sham impeachment.
“Per source: Rand Paul is not being allowed to ask his question about the origins of the House impeachment. Unclear what the exact question is and what the issue is with it.”

During a break in the trial, Rand Paul was seen on the Senate floor “seeking assurances that he will not be blocked from asking a question,” Roll Call reported.
Paul said loudly in the chamber: “I don’t want to have to stand up to fight for recognition. If I have to fight for recognition, I will.”
In November 2019, Senator Paul urged the media to “do your job” by outing the anti-Trump whistleblower whose complaint launched the impeachment inquiry.

If he does not get satisfaction I’ll bet you dollars to donuts that Paul will blurt out Eric Ciaramella’s name.
The simple fact is that Roberts the Harvard lawyer doesn’t know the law, or he is corrupt. The 6th Amendment gives a clear right to confront your accuser. The whistleblower statute clearly excludes CIArmella. And last but not least, even if he was a whistleblower, no law requires his name be secret.
Roberts is a corrupt homo baby stealer, and a swamper. That or he doesn’t know the law.
Watch him run back to his convent on Malta again.
Haven’t we been hearing that the senate can vote to overturn a decision by the Chief Justice?
Well Roberts just censured Rand again. I think Rand needs to mention the name when announcing the question. What’s Roberts to do, declare a mistrial?
Anyone, including the Chief Justice, that continues to coverup for the actual crime of obstruction of justice that is being perpetrated by Eric Ciaramella and Adam Schiff will have to answer to history when the facts are eventually uncovered.
This sham protection based on a non-existent statute is akin to the coverup that was imposed on the fraudulent FISA warrants for 3 years by the FISC to hide their gross misconduct and that of the FBI. The Swamp runs deep.

BREAKING: Chief Justice Roberts just refused again to allowed question about the “whistleblower”

This is the question that Roberts censured.
Wait... if these jerks in the house are allowed to lie and slander on the house floor because they are protected, why can’t Senators say what they want?
Yes, blurt the name out, as loud as you can....
This is sooooo shocking. And I thought the gubmint, including the courts, was ethical. I don’t know what to say. There must be something I don’t understand here.

My exact question was:
Are you aware that House intelligence committee staffer Shawn Misko had a close relationship with Eric Ciaramella while at the National Security Council together 1/2
I’ve been through the desert on a horse with no name
Roberts should be impeached for obstruction of the senate and abuse of power!!
There is no honest reason for Roberts to block ANY questions and especially not this one!.
Roberts is with the Dems...................
Maybe they ought to see of Roberts wants to go on a weekend hunting trip.
A defendant has the right to confront his accuser. Essentially, the whistler-leaker is above the law and the president is below the law.
Senator Paul’s REJECTED Question:
Are you aware that House intelligence committee staffer Shawn Misko had a close relationship with Eric Ciaramella while at the National Security Council together and are you aware and how do you respond to reports that Ciaramella and Misko may have worked together to plot impeaching the President before there were formal house impeachment proceedings?
