Whistleblower Appreciation Thread

[grantcart]

We are about to meet him or her.

He or she will be a highly effective professional intelligence manager. He or she will have worked in important positions for both Republicans and Democrats.

He or she will have sharp analytical skills and be very articulate. Be disciplined, focused and have a deep historical perspective.

He or she has a high regard for the constitution and the rule of law.

I suspect we will find a person of wit and personality.

Of all of the qualities that you can consider likely for someone that has reached a high level in the intelligence community that are filled with intelligent and dedicated professionals there are all of the qualities listed above and one more;

Courage

He or she will allow us the privilege to be proud to be an American again, something that has been scarce over these last 3 years.

He or she will join John Dean and Mark Felt as a modern patriot that helped keep the Republic a Republic.

9. The law applies to intelligence community employees (hence whistle blower status) which

Bolton has never been

[ReformedGOPer]

3. Also afraid it's Bolton.

[grantcart]

6. Not Bolton. It specifically has to be a member of the US Intelligence community for the law to apply

an unidentified member of the U.S. intelligence community submitted a complaint to (Trump-appointed) Intelligence Community Inspector General Michael Atkinson flagging a troubling phone call between President Trump and a foreign leader (who was later identified as Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky).

10. Hopefully it's a Barry H. Berke, Esq. of the intelligence community.

The suspense is killing me.

[Hortensis]

11. Hope Americans are able find in him or her someone to believe in,

a refutation of the toxic lie that government is inherently corrupt.

[BigmanPigman]

12. Finally, a real patriot!

Thank you whoever you are!

[George II]

13. Whoever he/she is, this person could go down in history alongside:

Alexander Butterfield, who revealed the existence of the Nixon tapes, or

Frank Wills, who discovered the Watergate break-in, noticing that the DNC locks had been tampered with.

18. Did Dean only turn on Nixon after he realized he was going to take the fall?

I see him on TV sometimes. I want to like him but I'm not sure he was so innocent in Watergate.

19. Throughout all of this nightmare of the last three years I've always

silently hoped and prayed someone would fall on a sword for this Country. I heard last night that if a vote was held today in the 'Senate' on impeachment, 30 republicans would vote to impeach "if it were a secret vote". maybe all votes in the congress should be by secret ballot, just like the ballot box. Since All are saying how divided this Country is.

3. He or she didn't defect to a hostile nation

4. He or she kept her complaint specific, on target and cited chapter and verse of the laws violated

5. He or she went through proper channels
