About the whistleblower

[madamesilverspurs]

Given the brazen and startling implications of this round of unprecedented actions from Barr’s DOJ and presumably the White House, is the whistleblower safe?

I hate even having to ask, but in my 71 years there hasn’t been a president who behaved so blatantly as a law unto himself, not even Nixon. And it’s going rapidly from concerning to frightening.

1. Khassogi "sawed while still alive"

IT wants to rule by fear, like the Saudis. We should reject fear for action. imo

2. I'm worried too, but someone just posted that he has a lawyer, and it's a

former CIA agent. So I'm hoping his attorney knows the secret too and can give him guidance on security.

3. He needs one of those "kill switches" or whatever they are called.

If he fails to check in every 12 hours his secret goes straight to Adam Schiff or the Washington Post.

5. Hopefully he's already been in contact w/ Mr. Schiff or others of a similar disposal, Country ...

first, not party.

4. Imagine where we are if a whistleblower has to be guarded in America..

Be fearful for his life in America..I hope we have a Deep Throat working on this story, and all the other stories, and a reporter who has all the information...that is one way to protect him/her..possibly...wouldn't it be nice if ALL the scandals were presented at one time..a nice tidy package..like maybe tomorrow night..it is Friday afterall...I watch too many spy movies...may the rule of law prevail...

6. In offense of Nixon, he extended the Vietnam war into Cambodia through secret bombing raids,

which cost as many as 100,000 Cambodian lives and displaced two million. Lost or wounded as well were many Americans. This incursion, some historians argue, was so destabilizing that it contributed to the rise of The Khmer Rouge. The Watergate cover up was, by comparison, a nothing burger, but it did bring him down.

Also see “When a Candidate Conspired With a Foreign Power to Win an Election,” a story Rachel Maddow covered in a special.

We have been here before and survived as a nation, though many died because of Nixon. Unlike Trump, he was very bright, thus, a case could be made, more dangerous.

He and Kissinger waged a near-personal vendetta against John Kerry. In escalating the Vietnam war through attacking neutral Cambodia, Nixon triggered riots across campuses, famously at Kent State.

I have recently become interested in Cambodia through an intense, emotionally difficult documentary on Prime Video, “Brother Number One,” leading me to firm up a rusty and disjointed sense of this history, and how we came to view Nixon as an arch-fiend, making it difficult to say that even Trump is “worse.” However, I am no presidential scholar! Oops, just realized you lived through the same period I did so my apologies for lecture. The Nixon and treason link was news to me,

8. Butting in again...but yes. Your question--and we don't know who the whistle blower is, so easy to

dispatch with him. Hoping he covered himself with secret safe and trusted lawyer or something. Schiff isn’t being given the name. Madam S., you have reason. Trump could be worse cause he’s PUTIN.
