Chief Justice of the United States John Roberts blocked Kentucky Republican Sen. Rand Paul from posing a question during the Senate impeachment trial Wednesday that would have named the alleged whistleblower at the center of the case, Fox News is told — and Paul may try to force the issue during the question-and-answer session that begins Thursday afternoon.

Schiff repeatedly stated last night the whistle blower fears for his life and is guaranteed anonymity under the whistle blower statute. ...hopefully Philbin will correct the lies today.

“Ciaramella, the love that cannot speak it’s name.” Has a nice ring to it? Eh? Although, “wring” is appropriate.

I argue there was no whistle blower because there was no whistle.

For this American historical hoax, there must be the final punishments. the guilty perpetrators have forfeited their right to live

Off with their heads

The “whistleblower” was fraudulently granted whistleblower status by the IG. Without the IG’s testimony, this will not come to light.
However, a review of the statute itself would reveal that he is not granted anonymity, as you state. But the argument would have to be presented in such a way as to not put it in the weeds.

Hard to throw shade over those words. Go Rand! >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Hurumph, but its in the interests of National Security, we can’t let people see what a tin pot dictator Obama truly was, Hurumph! ( sarc,)

Just watch the penumbra flow FRiend. The constitution means little of nothing to Roberts, when faced with political expediency.His decisions have show that repeatedly.He overreaches to side with the Dems every time. Remember the Dems own Roberts and have for a long time because he has become impeachable, based on the adoption of his children, which was done illegally via Ireland.

https://www.esquire.com/news-politics/politics/news/a36019/the-true-story/

“This is dead simple. Justice Roberts has two adopted children. There were some shenanigans getting the adoption paper work done. The threat against him is not actually against him but against his adopted daughters that could be deported which would also devastate his wife and him. So, yes, Obama is blackmailing him with deporting his daughters. Pure Alinsky – can’t attack the man so attack his family and a strong family commitment then becomes his achille’s heel. Keep in mind how the Obama administration handles deportations. They enforce the law selectively. Illegal immigrant rapists and murders are let loose on the streets but cross them and your adopted children will be deported.This is all documented. I saw an article somewhere some time after the first Obamacare decision that was butchered by Roberts about his adopted children. Do the research. It’s there. But it was a back page little blurb that could have been blown up into a national scandal and possibly have removed Roberts from the bench. But nothing came of it. Why? Because they knew they would need it again later. Now apply this to Boehner, McConnell, military leaders, anyone at all that gets in the way. Make them an offer they can’t refuse. “

....
So how can it be classified when, according to Schiff, the interrogations held in the secrete bunker were not classified hearings. ....

I will receive much satisfaction when the traitorous Roberts bangs the final gavel on Trump’s aquittal or whatever it’s called.

I hope Justice Thomas laughs in his face when he returns to the SC.

What ever happened to being able to face your accuser? Isn’t that what the 6th Amendment is about? I read the text of the Amendment and find that the first few words outline the right is protected for criminal prosecutions. Is this trial considered such?

I wish I could print a thousand of these, and fling them from the gallery down onto the senate floor.

As they say in Spanish, "Explicamelo, por favor..."

Did they already cover that fact that the Whistle Blower Form was altered to allow Second Hand Hearsay used as fact, or is that part of the IG’s basement testimony?

No specifics have come out.
I would imagine that it would first require a question raised by an R Senator. Then the defense would have to be ready with a rather long presentation, but limited to 5 min., complete with slides demonstrating the altered complaint form.

Although Ciaramella is involved, I think the real whistle blower is Sean Misko. And he has been hiding in plain sight right behind Schiff, Nadler, and others advising them through the whole process. Looking at this guy’s track record and associations points towards this very real possibility. This guy is Trump’s enemy #1 and needs to be chased down by Trump’s team right away.

Not quite.

The Senators don't get to ask the questions.

They write the questions and Roberts reads them.

Better description here

Politico reported that Paul has composed questions including the name of the whistleblower, despite Justice Roberts telling senators that he would not read the person's name out loud. According to the outlet, Paul had opened up a “behind-the-scenes fight” with his effort.
Sen. Rand Paul blocked from asking questions stating alleged whistleblower's name(The Blaze 1/29/2020)

Roberts refused to read his question, he didn't block him doing anything.

You typed “Ciaramella’s name”

Please stay where you are. The authorities are on their way.

I want to see the exact law that Chief Injustice John Dread Roberts is using that is “protecting” the whistleblower’s identity.
