along with everything else in this bitch ass cancel culture era, it was a shitty thing to do, but not illegal so what can be done?Originally Posted by Frodo
The article he retweeted (containing the whistleblowers name) had been up online for more than a week and had (apparently) already been reported on by the press. If anyone 'wanted' to know the WB's name, it was out there well before that shithead Junior stuck his beak in amongst it.
it does raise a pretty legit question though. For something as serious as potentially removing a President from office, should all names/identities be out there? Should the key witnesses be able to be cross examined as part of the hearings? For some that is a simple due process and the cornerstone of the legal system.
But does putting innocent whistleblowers out in the open prevent people from coming forward in the event of similar indiscretions in the future?
Also, learned today that Monica Lewinsky actually lied under oath about her affair with Clinton, and it was only after she got caught out by one of her friends wearing a wire (****ing snitch) that she did an immunity deal with the investigator and gave a sworn statement. i dont think she was cross examined.
