Full title: Gregg Jarrett: Whistleblower not entitled to anonymity – He’s an informant acting as a Democratic operative
The notion that the Ukraine “whistleblower” is somehow entitled to anonymity was probably first peddled by the Flat Earth Society. It is a myth and demonstrably so.
It is understandable why unscrupulous Democrats like Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., have perpetuated the canard. As chairman of the House Intelligence Committee – which is presiding over the current impeachment “witch hunt” – Schiff is determined to conceal his own involvement with the faux “whistleblower” and his subsequent deceit about those machinations.
But it is incomprehensible why most of the media have failed to expose the hoax. Likely driven by their abiding liberal bias and pervasive laziness, they have simply accepted as scripture whatever Democrats and members of the intelligence community fed them. Did they bother to consult the prevailing law? Obviously not.
If they had done so, they would have discovered that nowhere in the Intelligence Community Whistleblower Protection Act (ICWPA) is anonymity even mentioned. Nor is it found in Presidential Policy Directive 19, which also provides specific whistleblower protections.
The Inspector General Act of 1978 prohibits the inspector general from releasing the name of a complainant, but this applies to no one else.
Under this framework, whistleblowers are granted certain rights against retaliation or reprisal in the workplace. In other words, they cannot be demoted, transferred, fired or otherwise penalized for filing a complaint that meets the statutory whistleblower requirements.
However, identity protection is neither provided for, nor contemplated, anywhere in the language.
But let’s assume, for the sake of argument, that a whistleblower might deserve anonymity under exigent circumstances of some sort. He or she must first qualify for whistleblower status under the governing law. Yet, in the present case, he does not.

Actually, the Whistleblower Law is good. When it’s used properly. It’s purpose is to protect someone from revenge/retribution if they advise of waste/fraud/abuse/criminal activity.
Of course, ABSOLUTELY NONE of that applies to this case and, as usual, the Democrats are destroying another mechanism designed to help, in their quest for power, trying to undo an election and take down the President.
They, in every single way imaginable, destroy everything that they touch. The biggest issue, to me, is the voter that votes for them. They are too blind, whether by hatred or ignorance, to see or admit that they support morons.
Let’s just start with CIA installed spy in the White House.
Seems to cover everything. One is too many by any measure.
How many more do they have? NSA? DNI, FBI? etc.?
