How far is this whistle blower willing to go out on a limb.

Is he willing to risk going to jail in order to get out the truth. That may be the big question as to whether the Democrats are able to nail Trump in time before the election. If they end up waiting for the courts on supposed national security or executive privilege ploys , we are back to same old situation. If it is really bad, will they have the gall to go after him. Is this going to be another Daniel Ellsberg situation.

I think they should be more worried about being Magnitskied whilst in jail than just serving time.

Nobody has been "rubbed out" for crossing Trump (Cohen, Mueller, Comey, Manafort) and no, Epstein doesn't count. Lets deal with reality.

After McCabe's situation, Trump's willingness to use the DOJ punitively is well known.

you will see that his attorney is seeking his ultimate protection for him to testify before the Select Senate and House Intelligence Committees
which will not be public i suspect ... so there's that?
