1. Whistleblower laws are intended to protect the identity of those who bravely come forward to identify fraud & abuse in government. Investigating their information doesn't require their identity be revealed, unless a criminal case is going to trial.
2. Congress can investigate & determine if there's evidence to support the claims. That's why it's irrelevant if any of it is hearsay. I'm sure @RepAdamSchiff & @RepJerryNadler would be delighted if Trump wants to testify under oath in closed session like the whistleblower will.
@RepAdamSchiff @RepJerryNadler 3. Ironically, Trump seems to be referring to the 6th amendment right a defendant has in a criminal trial to confront witnesses against him. I'm sure that can be arranged if he'd like to waive the DOJ policy against indicting a president & go that route.

1/ Trump just committed a felony violation of law by soliciting something of value in connection with a US election from a foreign gov’t on national TV. 52 U.S. Code § 30121. Violating the law isn’t necessary for Impeachment but it certainly warrants it. law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/52…
2/ The statute requires knowledge your conduct is a crime. After the Mueller investigation, there’s no way Trump was unaware this violates the law. Ukraine/China can you hear me is even worse than Russia, if that’s possible, because it comes from a sitting president.
3/ Campaign finance crimes also require a thing of value be involved. But as FEC Chair @EllenLWeintraub recently said, you don’t have to be able to assign a dollar amount. But, in the case of Ukraine, Trump did this. The help he sought was worth $400mil in US aid. That’s a felony

“Officials close to Pence insist…” washingtonpost.com/world/national…
“Perhaps most significantly, one of Pence’s top advisers was on the July 25 call and the vice president should have had access to the transcript within hours, officials said.”
Pence to Pompeo: hold my beer. “Officials close to Pence contend that he traveled to Warsaw for a meeting with Zelensky on Sept. 1 probably without having read — or at least fully registered — the transcript of Trump’s July 25 call with the leader of Ukraine.”

18 USC 1512 makes it a federal felony to tamper or attempt to tamper with a witness.
I feel like we've been here before
This is right up to the line, in context, it's awfully close to over it.

⛔️Is there a #Whistleblower law that prohibits basic citizens to report govt employees like
a member of Congress?#Schiff👈🏼

⛔️Like #CNN whose KNOWINGLY harming Americans?

⛔️Why should Americans HAVE TO WAIT to vote out a congressman who’s hurting children?

❌#Q spoke of this👉🏼
⛔️Remember the #Q Drop re: #RachelChandler, #MidlandAgency, the pix of distresses & abused kids posed as “models?”

⛔️Q said something like “Operators are standing by” urging us AS CITIZENS to report.

⛔️REMEMBER THIS? And hundreds if not thousands of #Anons called

Stay w/ me..
⛔️A #whistleblower is: someone who discloses info they reasonably believe is “EVIDENCE OF ILLEGALITY, gross waste/FRAUD, mismanagement, ABUSE OF POWER, general wrongdoing, or a SUBSTANTIAL & SPECIFIC DANGER TO PUBLIC HEALTH & SAFETY”

📣HELLO?!!

1/On @FoxNews last night @IngrahamAngle said of me in my #whistleblower case: "His lawyer Mark Zaid who's represented Schumer and Hillary by the way." 

To use coined phrase: FAKE NEWS!

Let's explore. Because, seriously, facts matter.

foxnews.com/transcript/rep…
2/To be clear, at no time have I ever represented Senator Schumer or Secretary Clinton. Ever. Never.
3/No doubt @IngrahamAngle's folks completely confused & conflated me w/my co-counsel @AndrewBakaj.

Andrew - when he was 19/20 & in college - interned w/ Senators Schumer & Clinton. Almost 20 years ago.

I worked for UK Tory Govt when I was 20. What actually does that reveal?

I hope Acting DNI Maguire takes the Dems to the woodshed.
Schiff sounds like his favorite Standard Hotel was just shut down.
Has there ever been a time when Nunes didn't speak in red pills?

heard from a source who urged me to look at Ukraine ceding Dunbas to Russia as *real* reason for Donald's releasing security funds

remember, EVERYTHING Donnie does is in fealty to Putin
like anything with Tangerine Saddam there are *layers* of crimes; I believe #Whistleblower witnessed acts so cartoonishly illegal he or she had to come forward

Ukraine's inexplicable/sudden deference to Russia might have been specifically to please Donald—who as we all know is a Russian asset

It's the moment that approximately 2 of you have been waiting for! We at @POGOBlog released our Baker’s Dozen at the end of January – so it’s about time I do a tweet thread about it. pogo.org/report/2019/01…
The Baker’s Dozen is our biennial publication, where we provide a 30 thousand foot view of the issues POGO’s great team of investigators has uncovered and the recommendations that our Policy team has made to address those issues.
We release the Baker’s Dozen at the start of each new Congress to give new and returning members ideas for both oversight and legislative reform. It covers 13 policy areas, from ethics in the executive branch to the administration of public lands. There is something for everyone!

Years of questions about how so many DC scandals never ended up w/any accountability are now slowly beginning to make sense. Henry Kerner is a missing piece of a very frustrating puzzle…

Thanks to the efforts of Judicial Watch, we now find a name

The same John McCain staffer who told the IRS to weaponize their database to target Tea Party groups, was intimately involved in Fast-and-Furious, Benghazi, IRS &

If you wanted to control or cover-up a DC scandal where would you need to be? What position(s) would you need to control? A) the witnesses, & the investigators. In essence, deep inside the agencies or committees doing the
