GOP senator says it's unfair to Trump to let whistleblower remain anonymous

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) published an op-ed on Fux Noise Tuesday morning, as the second week of public impeachment inquiry hearings got underway.

In the op-ed, Tillis defended Donald Trump and accused House Democrats of treating Trump unfairly by allowing the whistleblower, whose complaint is at the center of the inquiry, to remain anonymous

"It's clear that Democrats don’t care about the facts," Tillis wrote. "They don't care about fairness. They don't care about due process rights."

Tillis also claimed that Democrats "don't care about doing their jobs and passing legislation like the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement or my legislation to stop dangerous sanctuary cities."

1. Two words for Tommy

and they aren't "Happy Motoring"

[PJMcK]

14. Let me guess!

Eat shit.

Die, asshole.

Oh, I get it!

Fuck you.

[COLGATE4]

22. Right,

Right again,

BINGO!!!

[kentuck]

2. Since Donald Trump has publicly stated that he is a traitor and should be executed....

...like in the old days, that may have changed the equation somewhat?

[NoMoreRepugs]

3. Dangerous sanctuary cities? Please proceed Senator with your FACTS.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

4. There is no need for the WB because we now have direct info - the GOPers were complaining

that the WB's knowledge was second-hand so they claimed they had to be able to cross-examine him. That is no longer the situation because we now have the testimony of people who were on the call, but they still want to out him - and the only reason for that now is so they can harass and intimidate him and threaten his job (or even his safety) as a warning to other potential whistleblowers.

[Brainfodder]

5. Still claiming anonymous even after leaking the name?

What is wrong with these assholes?

It's like they want it verified before they attack?

[Proud Liberal Dem]

6. Migrants in cages and Kangaroo Courts for immigrants and Trans service members

and women claiming sexual harassment and assault by Donald Trump (among others) would like a word with him about what he claims is "unfair treatment"

[gratuitous]

7. Senator: Resign your seat and run for the House

Then, win a seat in the House. Then, get a Republican majority in the House. Then, get yourself installed either as Speaker or Majority Leader. Then, you can run the impeachment process, just like it says in the Constitution.

How odd that an elected official is so ignorant of the clear language of Article II. Or maybe he's hoping that his constituents are that ignorant.

8. Rubbish opinion

If there is no substance then why is trump not insisting for compliance of all subpoenas for all officials in his admin.

[NCjack]

9. If Trump knew the WB's identity, that would be could for only

persecuting that person for doing his duty. It would change nothing in the impeachment.

[spanone]

10. well, tommy is full of shit.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

11. In the GOP universe, concerned civilians do not call the anonymous police tip line

because the accused might force the police to track down their name so the accused can then hunt them down and do irreparable harm to their body, family, reputation, finances (especially legal fees), etc.

The Repugs aren't as interested in the current whistleblower as they are in intimidating other possible future whistleblowers throughout this corrupt administration.

The whistleblower laws were created for a reason.

[Wellstone ruled]

12. So the Murdoch-Koch-Right Wing

Tea Bagger's want to cash in on this idea. Breaking News!

Hope whom every runs against this POS throws this in his face.

[Baked Potato]

13. Says the Senator who

used Cambridge Analytica to get elected. Shady man.

[PJMcK]

15. What about Anonymous?

Republicans want to out the whistle blower but they don't seem too concerned about the "insider" who has exposed Trump.

What's with that?

[Johonny]

16. Because the Benghazi hearings were all about fairness, right?

[onenote]

17. Actually its the Republican Senate that doesn't care about doing its job

and acting on House passed legislation such as the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act and legislation reducing prescription drug prices.

And the Republican controlled Senate hasn't even held a hearing on Tillis' sanctuary cities bill, so his blaming Democrats is just another piece of BS from the BS shoveling Repubs.

[onenote]

19. And, PS -- Trump hasn't sent implementing legislation to the Hill for the USMCA

which is the first and necessary step to getting something passed (and no Republican in the House has introduced any such legislation either).

[MagickMuffin]

18. NEWSFLASH: Life Isn't FAIR

So, grow up!

or

We can ALL discuss how life isn't being fair to us.


Oh and Thommy, the Democrats has a whole slew of bills that are being held up by your buddy Moscow Mitch.

[Mc Mike]

20. Rump was a late speaker, as a child. But his first words when he was 5 year old

were 'unfair to tRump'.

He's used them millions of times since then. His favorite phrase.

[NCLefty]

21. I'm not sure I've ever heard Republicans whine so much about law THEIR guy (Bush Sr.) signed.

It passed the senate 97-0, and passed the House by a voice vote.

23. Thommy boy is going to lose his Senate seat

if he doesn't back away from the Traitor in Chief.

I live in NC and can't wait for Tillis to go down in 2020.
