-- As I understand it, the Whistleblower does not entitle the supposed whistleblower to anonymity. Is that correct? --

I'm going to make that into two questions. First, this dude is not a whistleblower, so no right to anonymity.

If he was a whistleblower, "Federal employees should be aware that no federal law exists that entitles whistleblowers the statutory right to remain anonymous." That said, anonlymity, if requested, is tried to be protected in order to reduce the probability of retaliation - at least that is in principle. The practical reality is that the federal government work environment is a brutal and unforgiving jungle. Plus it is dishonest and corrupt.

The president’s team is restoring my faith in the legal community.

The inspector general must keep the identity confidential while investigating the charges. Only the inspector general is bound by confidentiality.

Once the charges are validated, the individual is protected from punishment or retaliation, but not from having others know his identity.

His kids would be adults by now anyway so I think that might negate this theory. Robert’s is just the usual in the long list of bad Rino choices. O’Conner, Souter,etc.

“ according to the constitution” and the constitution says that Congressmen and Senators are free to lie while in Congress. What a worthless “oath”. I guess that they wrote the words of that oath themselves.

She wants the Senate to be “impartial” and oh, by the way, help them gather evidence with new testimony. LOL


She (and LYING libs) want their cake and to eat it, too.

Okay, maybe not the best example, regarding Zoe.

Months ago Levin talked about this extensively.He said no protections for this “whistleblower”.

Burisma question. Bondi up. What Hunter Biden for his money while on the board of Burisma.

Answer: Officially, a couple of trips, and one meeting with the board...

Meanwhile, investigation axed.

-- Schiff is protecting a leaker. That could be a crime.
Did Philbin actually say this? --

No. All the stuff outside the blockquote is my editorial remark.

Philbin did say, in so many words, that the so-called whistlblower is not covered by the whistleblower statute he claims to be covered by, or any other whistleblower statute.
