Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul demands media reveal whistleblower's identity

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Sen. Rand Paul demanded the news media print the name of the whistleblower at the center of the impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump during a rally Monday night in Kentucky.

“We also now know the name of the whistleblower. The whistleblower needs to come forward as a material witness because he worked for Joe Biden at the same time Hunter Biden was getting money from corrupt oligarchs,” the Kentucky Republican said after being invited onto the stage by Trump, referring to unverified reports circulating through conservative outlets.

To loud cheers from the audience, Paul continued, “I say tonight to the media, do your job and print his name. And I say this to my fellow colleagues in Congress, to every Republican in Washington, 'Step up and subpoena Hunter Biden and subpoena the whistleblower!’”

He also tweeted the same declaration during the rally:

1. And every time AnyRand Paul* opens his mouth...

...we gain a greater understanding of why Paul* could get his ass kicked over shrubbery and lawn clippings.

2. gee nice job givig a clue about the id

After all, that will help the Russians know whose tea to put polionium in (sarcasm)

[ScratchCat]

3. So first

The WB is a "Never Trumper", and now he "worked for Joe Biden". Ok, which is it?

[MyOwnPeace]

4. And I call on

Senator Rand Paul to have the courage to immediately stand up and admit that he's now kissing the a$$ of IQ45 because he has virtually no integrity or sense of honor left in his beaten body.

[world wide wally]

5. WTF difference would it make what his name is?

Unless you plan on doing harm to someone.

[rockfordfile]

6. Rand Paul is a Russian loyalist

[NewJeffCT]

7. #RedPaul is trending on Twitter

Because, as John McCain said, he is working for Vladimir Putin

[get the red out]

8. Saw that and love it - RedPaul and Moscow Mitch!

He was one of the Senators to spend the 4th of July in Russia a couple of years ago. At the very least disgustingly unpatriotic; but I tend to think he is a Russian tool.

[NewJeffCT]

10. Let's not forget

Leningrad Lindsey
Russian Asset Ron Johnson

[get the red out]

11. Absolutely

Since I am in Kentucky I plucked out the two Kremlinites that are shoved into my face continuously.

[NewJeffCT]

13. I looked up a few other large cities in Russia

to see if I could make up any additional alliterative names, but Novosibirsk and Yekaterinburg don't exactly roll off the tongue (3rd & 4th largest cities in Russia after Moscow & St Petersburg)

St Petersburg Steve (Daines) ?

9. Kentucky voters demand to see the results of Rand Paul's IQ test

"We know he's no better than us" said Joe SexPack when asked by Faux News. "He has just another fuckin' idiot who thinks he's better than us! We demand to see the proof that he is better than us"

[dalton99a]

12. Where is his neighbor?

[Johonny]

14. They should subpoena Rand Paul instead

Ask him if he's heard of whistle blower protection laws...

[2naSalit]

15. For what?

[TheBlackAdder]

16. Why doesn't he call his friends at Russia Today?

[Blue_Tires]

17. Greenwald and Snowden were unavailable for comment

Odd how these self-appointed Avengers of Whistleblower Rights have been so very very silent the past two weeks...

Scahill has pretty much left Twitter altogether

[maxsolomon]

18. How would the WB's motivations even matter at this point?

over a half-dozen corroborating witnesses, and the partial transcript itself all back up their complaint.

"working for joe biden" and continuing to work in the president asshole white house mean THIS IS A CAREER CIVIL SERVANT.

and subpoena hunter biden? why?

19. Paul blocks resolution backing protection for whistleblowers

BY JORDAIN CARNEY - 11/06/19 03:55 PM EST

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) blocked a resolution Wednesday reaffirming the Senate's support for whistleblower protections and accused Democrats of "fake outrage."

Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii) had asked for unanimous consent to pass the resolution, which "acknowledges the contributions of whistleblowers" and throws the chamber's support behind protecting whistleblowers from retaliation.

"The threats we have seen over the last few days are so egregious they demand bipartisan outrage from one end of this chamber to the other, whether you're a Democrat, Republican, independent, liberal, moderate or conservative," Schumer said on the Senate floor. "What's happening here is another erosion of the values of this republic for political expediency" ...
