The whistleblower is under federal protection tonight because they are worried

[applegrove]

about their safety. 60 Minutes.

[Pachamama]

1. Holy Fuck....

Couldn't have anything to do with the suggestion of this person being a spy or traitor and how they were handled in the good old days?



Trump issued a death threat....and you can be sure that there are plenty of crazed Trump supporters (and Trump himself) who want this person dead.

[applegrove]

3. I am glad. This process needs to be secure and ordered.

[empedocles]

4. traitortrump must be greatly annoyed and aggravated that sawbones and putin

don't have to deal with such annoyances, interference, etc.

[Zoonart]

11. Tonight Trump put a target on Adam Schiff.

This MY has to go ! He is dangerous and will not stop until he gets a good patriot killed.

[empedocles]

2. Many more public will worry when the WB appears with heavy protection from -

- trump!

[Jarqui]

5. Trump says those who gave info to the whistleblower are like spies, reports say

"The spies and treason, we used to handle it a little differently than we do now," the president said, according to the LA Times.

They have good reason to be worried for their safety

6. When the 'president' has put a target on your back.....

[FloridaBlues]

7. This persons life has forever changed. Please protect them

[greatauntoftriplets]

8. Good.

He needs to be protected. I don't trust Spanky at all.

[Raven]

9. This is what Trump and the Republicans have brought US, a patriot testifying, under armed guard,

against the President of the United States. Just let that sink in.

[still_one]

10. After what happened with Epstein, I sure as hell hope the Dept. Of Justice isn't involved in

overseeing his protection.

[marlakay]

20. He did come to the dems in congress

They must know the better feds he can stay with.

[Stuart G]

22. One word tells all: Epstein...

[Indykatie]

12. His/Her Attorney Has Set Up a Verified GFM Account to Assist Him With Legal and Other Expenses

I can imagine that she/he may not be able to work at some point given the safety concerns. This Whistleblower's life will forever be changed. I can't imagine the kind of courage it took to come forward in our current political environment and Trump's angry cultish supporters. The concerns about safety are definitely warranted. I hope they can maintain his/her anonymity.

14. Thanks for posting that.

[paleotn]

16. Thanks!

[marlakay]

23. Thanks I gave a little we all should

Be thankful to this person. What courage when you know he has probably already had things done to people.

[kwolf68]

13. Fascism

It's really coming....it's up to the courageous to prevent it.

Donald Trump should be charged and imprisoned, hes the most vile creature to ever make it to the office.

I remember the Jim Jeffries comedy routine where he said a little part of him wants to see Trump elected, "just to see how crazy shit will get". Well, Jim, you got your answer. I like JJ by the way, not bashing him and he surely didn't mean to support this Orange ShitStain.

[marlakay]

24. I actually think some people voted

For him thinking its good to stir things up, I don’t believe people really knew how bad it would get.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

15. Trump and ALL his people need a cease and desist order....

from a federal judge to stop comments on pending Congressional and court actions involving tRump and associates.

If that's legally possible..... ...........

When people in government use the power and voice of their office to make public statements which could influence the outcome of pending cases or say things that could endanger any individual, that would appear to be illegal.

[UniteFightBack]

17. Thank goodness. If anybody wants to donate to the whistle blower here is the go fund me:

[ffr]

19. Thx. On my list. Will pass on to other family members.

Definitely going to donate what I can. It's the least I can do for an American Hero.

[ffr]

18. Them and their attorney, who knows their identity.

At this point, with Jeffrey Epstein out of the picture so conveniently (two broken cameras to his cell?), I'd ask that the attorney also be under protective custody.

Acts like a mob boss. Will react like a mob boss.

[salin]

21. I can not recall a similar situation - in the era since a federal protection system has existed ...

based on threats/statements by a US President, his officials, and elected allies in congress, and the growth of a social media hunt/dox/attack millieu.

This is not politics as usual - and any place you read, on social media, an excuse of both parties do it.... that claim must be challenged. Suggested response: Specify the "other party does it" example (of someone going into witness protection) with documentation - or this statement is empty and not credible.

I fear for him/her and his/her family.

[Aussie105]

26. Trump wants to meet with the whistleblower(s)

Just to see their faces. And addresses. And talk to them about the safety of their position, their family, the horse's head that will appear in their bed one night.

Nothing sinister, mind.

Then a quick Twitter post regarding identity and address, and a few NRA like hints like 'All it takes is one good man with a gun.'

Don needs to be stopped before anyone else gets hurt.

[orangecrush]

29. Says he is SEEKING federal witness protection.

Has not recieved it yet as far as I can tell.
