Lawmakers may face ethics violations if they talk about the “whistleblower” whose complaint spurred the impeachment inquiry during the upcoming public hearings, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), the head inquisitor seeking to impeach and remove President Donald Trump, warned in a memo Tuesday.
the Washington Examiner’s Byron York noted in a tweet highlighting the November 12 memo authored by Schiff:
Whistleblower started Trump-Ukraine matter, framed issue in way House Dems have adopted for impeachment. Now Chairman Schiff orders GOP: Do not talk about whistleblower in impeachment hearings. If you do, you’ll hear from Ethics Committee.
(snip)
According to the memo, the Intelligence panel leading the probe will not “facilitate any efforts by President Trump or his allies to threaten, intimidate, or retaliate against the whistleblower who courageously and lawfully raised concerns about the President’s conduct.”
Under a section dubbed, “Whistleblower Protection and Confidentiality,” the memo stressed,
The Committee has a long, proud, and bipartisan history of protecting whistleblowers—including from efforts to threaten, intimidate, retaliate against or undermine the confidentiality of whistleblowers. … The Code of Official Conduct for Members of Congress requires that every Member “shall behave at all times in a manner that shall reflect creditably on the House.” The Committee on Ethics has historically viewed this provision as “encompassing violations of law and abuses of one’s official position.”

Let the DC frenzy circus as closely resemble the Soviet style Star Chamber as possible. American people are not as witless as these Dem operatives hope we are.
Oooh, I bet they’re scared now /s

Hey, Schifty
FU
Eric Ciaramella. Bring it, you Stalinist faggot.
EXCEPT when it comes to due process and things like that. 🙄
What exactly would the ethics committee do? Harshly worded letter?
Adam Schiff is a walking ethics violation.
Every Republican member of the House should wear a hat with the guys name on it.
Since Eric Ciaramella isn’t actually a whistleblower...so what?
If they had any balls the first Republican to speak should say his name and so should every other one. A unanimous middle finger to Schiff. Every Republican in Congress should read the WB name into the record. Let him try to hold half of Congress in contempt.
Hope somebody tests him on that.
Pinching his head off would be easy and a service.
The RINOs will bow down
Hopefully the true patriots will tell Pencilneck to shove it
this friggin farce is ridiculous- Everyone knows the name- but by golly let’s al just pretend noone knows and that we gotta keep it a secret- how friggin childish!
Ok Adam. Whatever you say buddy
Lock him up boys ! Guilty of treason
would love to see all the republicans were a hoodie with the name Eric Ciaramella on the front- and say- “Hey- i never once mentioned his name!”
Schiff is making up rules. Whistleblowers are protected from reprisals. Their identity is not.
You know the Republican quislings live for the daily praise from Democrats (and media), and quite a few of them think Trump needs to be taken down a notch.
EThics? from a Dem?
What kind of JOKE is this?
What authority does this little bug-eyed turd have? People should just ignore him.
I tweeted this to House Freedom Caucus. If they do it, take a bow. If not we’ll know it’s business as usual.
