While speaking to reporters on Tuesday, Senator Mitt Romney (R-UT) reacted to calls to reveal the whistleblower’s identity by stating that whistleblowers, especially those speaking about government action, “should be allowed to remain confidential.”
Romney said, “My own view is that whistleblowers, particularly those that are blowing whistles on action within the government, should be allowed to remain confidential.”

Is Mitt speaking for Mitt, or for Pierre?
And it’s “ok” for investigators to tamper with evidence, timelines, transcripts, and coach witnesses. < /s >
this latest quip by
Carlos-”guy in the throuple middle”-Delecto
loudly heralds that the whistleblower is CONNECTED
at the umbilicus to Mitt Romney and his partner Soros.
Since when are any whistleblowers confidential?
My understanding is that retribution is prohibited. You can’t fire an employee because he spilled the beans on your bad activity.
But I think the names of whistleblowers are usually known. If the names are not known, why bother to have that prohibition against retribution? You can’t have retribution if you don’t know their names! But, in fact, retribution is always a big concern — because the names are known.
Trump doesn’t deserve the right to confront his accuser? How is he going defend himself against anonymous accusations?
Mitt is an idiot. Confidential, indeed.
Delicious Peter shares his perverted view of justice.
So much for that face your accuser concept.....
Shut up, Romney.
“Whistleblowers ‘Should Be Allowed to Remain Confidential’”
“....as long as they help the statists keep power” ~ Romney, given truth serum
If he keeps running his mouth, he will lose the remaining 18% who view him positively. He lost me a long time ago. They need to add a new option beyond “strongly disapprove”. How about “absolutely loathe”?
Since no one here has said it yet: STFU Mittens.
Cripes this man is stupid.
“...Mitt is an idiot....”
Without a doubt. The good people of Utah should really be proud of him. /s
Nonsense. The people who are the targets of whistleblowers have a right to know something about the accusers who could ruin their lives — because some whistleblowers are more credible than others.
He’s an elite don’t you know.
Did anyone else notice that when you put together the initials for Romney’s party membership and state of residence (R-UT), they spell RUT?
my tagline.
Whistleblowers are NOT protected from being outed. They’re protected from being punished for reporting the alleged misconduct/fraud/waste/abuse.
Yes, they can make the complaint anonymously, but at some point, they’re going to have to come across with the goods. At that time they’ll have to meet with an investigator. Make a statement and then, if necessary, be asked to testify. Ergo, you’ll find out who they are.
In this case, they guy leaked information, as we all know. He didn’t blow the whistle on any of the above.
Romney is a turd sandwich.
