Don't forget, Nunes himself was a huge whistleblower against the IC and he was smeared for three years, doxxed, and attacked by Schiff. The same guy who claims to care about "the lives of whistleblowers". Dishonest argument from dishonest people. 1 3

Bob in Mich Posted January 30, 2020 Posted January 30, 2020 17 minutes ago, Foxx said: agree. disagree. disagree. agree. probably. invalid concerns. pointedly. the whistle blower is an important component in helping hold accountability within the governmental hierarchy. however, there is nothing that explicitly grants the whistle blower immunity and or protection from exposure. lastly, there is a reasonable question as to whether or not the supposed whistle blower is actually, technically a whistle blower. whistle blowers are afforded certain protections but, and i could be wrong here, i don't believe protection from identity reveal is one of them. you opine whether the supposed whistle blower would come under duress from a fanatic. i would venture that the statistical likely hood of them coming under attack from a conservative is below any statistical norm of anyone else for anything else. yes sure the danger exists but so does the chance of getting a hangnail. this whistle blower (if he can even be legally called that) is politically driven and quite possibly a political tool from the left. are others going to be discouraged from coming forward of their own volition, or better yet, probably better termed... brought forward by nefarious political forces, definitely not. yes, his contention is well supported by testimony. in that there were policy differences. nothing more. if he is subpoenaed, he will be deposed in private before any public (if any) testimony, as will all 'new witnesses'. the import of the outing of the supposed whistle blower it multifaceted, with the main question surrounding his bias (remember the IG reported an obvious bias), his connections and the coordination of it all. remember, i took the time here so please, if you wish to continue, be respectful and be cordial and honest in response. otherwise we will resort to the form yesterdays ended with. Thank you. I appreciate it. Lunch plans today so I will likely get back to you later...or maybe tomorrow. In brief it seems that people want to punish this guy. If all the political suspicions and nefarious actions are true, that take is understandable. it just seems that so far, I have only seen suspicions without any other proof, though I may have missed it. Anyway, thx again. 1

Sort of implies all just a coincidence that Bidens were going to be involved in his requested investigation? I have to leave shortly but thought I would ask a question to you. Check back later...or tomorrow Do you honestly believe that he was primarily motivated in this Ukraine scheme by the country's interests or are you let's say, content, that it could be true?

Check back later...or tomorrow Do you honestly believe that he was primarily motivated in this Ukraine scheme by the country's interests or are you let's say, content, that it could be true? Not only is this a poorly worded question, it's stupid. All Trump needed to prove, to make the entire case moot, is that there was the POSSIBILITY that Biden's dealings in Ukraine weren't on the up and up. If there is even a hint of doubt on that matter, then Trump asking Ukraine to look into it cannot be attributed to solely political motivations. You lost. Again. It's over. 5 more years of your torment to go... 4

Rob's House Posted January 30, 2020 Posted January 30, 2020 39 minutes ago, Bob in Mich said: Possibly one of the reasons Trump called his phone call perfect. Perhaps he thought his plan so good because he had a great defensible position that would be all but impossible to disprove.....unless the prosecution got their hands on all the emails, texts, and witnesses. He had just the answer to that problem too with absolute immunity. You're missing the point, which is twofold: 1. Persuing something because you believe it is in your own personal best interest does not preclude you from also believing it is in the best interest of the country. 2. Subjective intent is irrelevant when the underlying act is not improper. For example, say a cop pulls over a driver who's going 10 over, has a busted tail light, and is borderline DUI. The cop intends to let him off with a warning, but the guy gets belligerent and mouths of to him. Because he's personally offended the cop charges him w/ DUI, Speeding, & Defective Equipment. The cop's subjective intent is irrelevant because there was a legitimate basis for charging the man. Establishing that the cop charged him for his own personal satisfaction rather than to fulfill his official duties does not render his actions improper in the eyes of the law. 2 1

Do it !!! That's not their end game. They'd grill him as hard as they could to get any kind of dirt possible on Trump. They're scum. They're driven by hatred and their lust for power. 1
