Is Trump breaking the law again by threatening the

essence of the Whistle Blower Protection Act. Trump is espousing every thing to the extreme that the Whistle Blower Act is to protect against. From what he has said so far. I think the Whistle Blower should get a Personal Protection Order on Trump. Trump may already be guilty of violating laws with his threats implicating murder. Would be a good reality check to shake the dictatorial throne.

But like an industrial ice-breaking ship, make the Ukraine extortion racket the driving wedge to get the boat full of Trump's crimes through.

Stating something like if Trump even thinks he knows the persons name he and his officers are restrained from actions including legal because he is protected by the WB Act.

but he is using illegal threats to possibly incite dangerous actions from his supporters. Saying all the illegal things he would like see happen is rallying his supporters to come to his defense. He has no right to paraphrase illegal speech inciting actions to his defense. Letting him spew murderous actions is worse than extorting Zelensky.
