Paul says he 'probably will' disclose whistleblower's name
Source: The Hill
Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) said on Tuesday that he might disclose the name of a whistleblower whose complaint about President Trump's actions toward Ukraine spurred the House impeachment inquiry.
Asked why he hasn't disclosed the name of the unknown individual, Paul told reporters that he "probably will."
"I'm more than willing to, and I probably will at some point. ... There is no law preventing anybody from saying the name," Paul told reporters.
Paul doubled down on potentially publicly releasing the whistleblower's name during an interview with Fox News's Bret Baier on Tuesday night, saying that he "may" disclose the name.

(851 posts)To state the obvious, to what point now? Trump himself and a whole bunch of other witnesses have completely shown that the WB's submission of concern of possible corruption were totally valid!! Oh, I get it, let's crucify the person for having the temerity to voice any concern to his proper IC of a possible case of extortion (enough of the 'Quid Pro Quo' nonsense) by our dumbass übergroppenführer. A couple of weeks late and more than a few dollars short Paul - you dumbass.

(21,998 posts)Do you have a motive for doing so? Are you trying to intimidate the whistleblower?
But aside from that, so what if you release the whistleblower's name? The overwhelming evidence from many sources presented so far confirms all of the issues in the complaint.
Besides, you fucking idiot, Trump already confessed to the crime.
Do you know how to read English?
As the dumbass has said, read the transcript.

(6,785 posts)If he has the name he has it illegally anyway. He is not even in the administrative chain that would supposedly know who that is and so whoever gave it to him broke the law about whistle blower protections, and he will too if he reveals it.
