Whistleblower Anonymity is not Guaranteed

The latest buzz word for Democrats and the liberal media is whistleblower.  God!  They want this one so badly, don’t they?  The socialists have their hair up and are ready to shred the Trump Administration like starved coyotes on a broken lamb.  Who can think of collusion at a time like this when there is a whistleblower whistling such a sweet, sweet impeachment medley?  Finally “We’re going to impeach this motherfucker!” as Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) likes to say.  They are beside themselves, shocked and outraged at the treasonous phone conversation President Trump had with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on July 25, 2019.  The democratic socialists would like the American people to believe that there is nothing political about their impeachment inquiry. 

Never mind that the U.S. Senate will acquit President Trump of any and all charges that might ooze out of the House of Representatives, regardless of how many “whistleblowers” the CIA, FBI, or DNC have lined up, Pelosi and Schiff, along with the wonder-bra media are gonna ride this one ’til they can’t no more.

This latest attack is so partisan; so politically motivated, so tainted by the thick, dense hatred that the democrats and their comrades have for all things Trump. Yet the news media reports on the latest leak from the latest anonymous source as if they are truly the defenders of freedom, liberty, and the American way.  They see nothing wrong with a former CIA Officer and Attorney, Andrew P. Bakaj representing the current intelligence official whistleblower and the emerging second whistleblower.  There is even a GoFundMe page to raise money for the legal defense of the whistleblowers.  The fundraising goal is $300,000.  Currently, over $212,000 has been raised.

On the fundraising webpage, a message from Founder & CEO of Whistleblower Aid, John Tye states:

“Demands to reveal the identity of the anonymous whistleblower are irresponsible and dangerous to the safety of the individual and their family. The law is clear: the whistleblower is entitled to anonymity and freedom from retaliation.”

Tye is delusional if he believes that the American people, especially the MAGA / Trump supporters are going to sit idle and allow the President of the United States to be impeached on such trumped up charges from anonymous U.S. intelligence operatives…especially after the Russia / Collusion / Comey / Mueller debacle.

Tye is wrong about the anonymity claim too.  While whistleblowers are absolutely protected from any form of retaliation, they are not guaranteed anonymity.  According to the FBI’s Office of Integrity and Compliance:

A whistleblower’s confidentiality will be maintained to the extent possible within the limitations of law and policy, and the need to conduct a competent investigation.  However, complete anonymity throughout an investigation may not be possible. 

The identity of the whistleblowers will be a blow to the impeachment inquiry and Schiff and Pelosi know it.  This is another deep state attack on the President of the United States.  Trump truly can trust nobody in the intelligence community, and he needs to be hyper-cautious around everyone else.  Make no mistake about it; leftists have been trying to overthrow the government of the President of the United States of America since the day Trump was elected.  Unless the 85th United States Attorney General, William Pelham Barr breaks the code and starts bringing criminal charges against these insurgents, the attacks will not stop.
