I don't feel he's safe unless he has private protection or Dem protection. I know Trump has pissed off the IC, but I still don't trust that his minions haven't infiltrated every crook and nanny of our govt.

If they let something happen to them to protect that toad, we have more trouble than we think. I still wonder about the death of Epstein, seemed pretty fishy to me.

that there is NO whistleblower, but an operative from The Deep State that is intent on destroying this president.

Everyone should watch the entire clip. It tells you where we are right now.

To Wallace's credit, he finally says to Miller, "Enough with the rhetoric, answer my question."

What the hell does that mean anymore?

Who is "Federal"? Trump's and his administration is not federal? The GOP is not federal? The DOJ isn't federal? These are the people he's supposed to be protected from!

This is crazy.

38. Whistleblower's attorney says '60 Minutes' misinterpreted letter in federal protection report
Mon Sep 30, 2019, 08:39 AM
Sep 2019
An attorney for the whistleblower in the Trump-Ukraine scandal said Sunday that CBS’ “60 Minutes” had “completely misinterpreted” a document from his legal group, after the news outlet tweeted that the whistleblower was now under federal protection.

On Sunday night, CBS wrote on Twitter: “‘60 Minutes’ has obtained a letter that indicates the government whistleblower who set off the impeachment inquiry of President Trump is under federal protection because they fear for their safety.”

Two hours later, following significant reaction to the report, Attorney Mark Zaid responded: “NEWS ALERT: 60 Minutes completely misinterpreted contents of our letter, which is now published online.”

He added that no agreement has been reached with Congress on contact with the whistleblower, and discussions remain ongoing.
