Can Trump Legally Out The Whistleblower? Experts Say It Would Not Violate Any Laws

[usual suspect]

Fisa drop...darn spell check.

[Glenmore]

It may not be illegal but it would certainly be found to be an impeachable offense....

Schiff has already outted the whistle leaker in official government transcripts he failed to redact. All anyone has to say now is, “Eric Ciaramella, as listed in the official transcripts of the testimony by...”

It is a done deal. He has been outted by Schiff. So every GOP politician and conservative talk host should repeat his name early and often, citing the transcripts of the testimony as the source.

[outofsalt]

Eric Ciaramella?

[Bob434]

It’s funny how leaky the government is when it comes to attacking trump politically, but when the left don’t want something to come out noone leaks anything-

Wish a whistle blower would come out leaking the name of the whistleblower

[SeekAndFind]

Why also these pretense that the si-called “Whistleblower” (note the quotes) is anonymous?

We already know that his name is Eric Ciamarela. There, I said it.

We also know a lot about his background.

So, why still pretend?

[TalBlack]

“Legally”!?

Legally the whistleblower can’t do what he did.
Legally there is no charge or impeachment.

When the hell are people going to realize that for one side THERE IS NO LEGALLY!?

[TheConservativeTejano]

Trump can do it. Its free speech. Whistleblower laws only protect against retaliation and firing not against naming the person making a complaint.

Partner, The DemonRat party is so out of touch with all Americans who have a brain.

The DemonRat party is so unhinged that "The Giant 3rd Grade Brain Journalists" which Jessica Tarlov is in this category of the MSM. These so called "Journalists" from the MSM have lies after lies when being interviewed. The DemonRat party is so hateful towards our President Trump, period and end of story.

The Journalists do not know that President Trump has to tweet because the MSM can not and will not tell the real truth to all Americans across the fruited plain.

The first coup attempt on President Trump came from the Russian Collusion story..-3 and it turned out to be a total hoax to the American people. It was a "Coup Attempt" on a duly elected POTUS.

The Second Coup Attempt on President Trump comes from Congress and it is on "Pro Quid Pro against President Trump and "OH My Gosh" it is now on bribery and extortion by Judge Roy Bean who really is Shiff for Brains."

"Shiff for Brains" must really think that he is the real "Judge Roy Bean" from West Texas. Judge Roy Bean was the Judge, Jury and Executioner and Shiff for Brains sure is acting like Judge Roy Bean."

[Da Coyote]

Uh, NPR - HELLO, the silly little whistle blower has been outed for a good bit of time.

Get with it. Pull your heads out...of your Obamaholes.

[MuttTheHoople]

Are you sure he can say Eric Ciaramella?

[jospehm20]

Yep. The rats are incompetent and so is the media.

[1Old Pro]

Don Jr. has already let the cat out of the page, the media dutifully ignores the name but attacks the messenger.

[Alas Babylon!]

I’m not sure?

Has anyone asked Nancy and her little Schitt if it is ok?

[DannyTN]

Can but should’t.

First, Trump doesn’t know. Nor do any of the Republican congressmen. They all think it’s Eric C. but until the IG or Schiff confirms, they just don’t know.

[JimRed]

The only whistleblower law of which I am aware is that they may not be retaliated against for any truthful information they reveal. But lies like this one are on the table.

[PapaBear3625]

It’s a trap.

Yes, they want something to add to impeachment charges. Let Trump Jr do it, citing public sources.

[Company Man]

Too late! The alternative media has already done so!
