Democrats mull masking whistleblower, holding testimony at remote locale: report (NOT SATIRE)

House Democrats are looking to prevent the whistleblower from being identified by holding the person's testimony at a remote location and potentially changing their appearance and voice.

Democrats are going to great lengths to hide the whistleblower's identity out of fear the Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee could leak their identity, according to The Washington Post, which cited three people familiar with the discussions.

Democrats are considering holding testimony outside the Capitol as well as a staff-only session that would bar lawmakers from questioning the whistleblower, according to the Post.

Democrats are also weighing options to distort the whistleblower's appearance and voice, including through a video camera or audio-only testimony or by placing the person behind a screen, the Post reported.

These meetings could occur "within the next couple of weeks," though the date has not been decided, an official told the Post.

The whistleblower's allegations that President Trump sought to pressure Ukraine to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden led Democrats to start an impeachment inquiry.

Trump has requested to know the identity of the whistleblower and has called the person "close to a spy."

The lawyer representing the whistleblower has expressed concern for his client's safety. A second whistleblower has hired the same legal team.

LOL!

Gosh, I wonder if the Democrats will show the same concern if an anti-Obama Administration whistleblower files a complaint?

By the way....

For reasons unknown, Trump's Inspector General of the CIA was originally appointed by Obama.

Also, Michael Atkinson, Trump's Inspector General of the Intelligence Community, which includes all agencies outside the CIA, was an Assistant U.S. Attorney for Washington D.C. under Obama.

Obama then promoted Atkinson to a National Security job in Obama’s Department of Justice.

For reasons unknown, Trump nominated Atkinson to be IG Intelligence Community in 2017.

It’s not even a real, voted on impeachment inquiry. It is a sham and holds no weight under law. That is also the reason why they are sending out “request” letters, not subpoenas that hold force of law.

If you were worried or panicked that you might soon be revealed as an improper leaker, would you consider calling yourself a whistleblower -- and get a lawyer?

I’m confused as to what a hearsay “witness” can add over the actual tape and transcript of a call.

It would seem to me that the recording would be the best evidence of what happened, not what someone told someone what happened.

But that’s just me.

There is a reason they don’t want the ID known.

They want this so that nobody will know what a partisan hack this person actually is.

Of course they are. There is no whistleblower, only a CIA leaker and
political hack. However, I am certain the WH has a good idea who this
leaker is.
