They are not leakers, they are Whistleblowers

and I thank them for their patriotism.

Select committees, nonpartisan commissions, etc. will not be able to investigate the Trump/Putin conspiracy in a timely manner, assuming they would be thorough, transparent, (I'm skeptical...).

I believe these Whistleblowers are our biggest hope in eradicating the trump administration quickly, before more damage is done to our country.

I have called every Repub on the Senate Intelligence Committee 3 times since the inauguration to inform them that we are watching and to stop calling evidence "classified" based on political reasons only. They and the House committee have pretty much deep sixed their "investigations" since they were announced (repug majority duh).

I ask that we all use our social media to distinguish between whistleblowers vs. leakers. They are putting a lot on the line. I can only imagine the witchhunt to ferret them out is brutal.

and finding yourself in this mess. It must be so depressing. The whistleblowing might be a combination of patriotism and lashing out in anger over being conned into a bad career move.

You are never going to get that when people are around...with all these people around. It's hard enough keeping a little secret let alone something of the magnitude of this.
