    This is all true but it's also about sending a message to other whistleblowers: no snitching.https://twitter.com/BillKristol/status/1192260136938672128 …

    I’m struck by Trumpworld’s obsession with the whistleblower. Exposing him wouldn’t help Trump’s case a bit. But it’s clear that outing him would be really satisfying psychologically to Trumpsters. One forgets how central to Trumpism are petty vindictiveness and cowardly bullying.

        This is going to backfire on Trump when those who were going to go through the proper channels as “whistleblowers” decide it’s less risky to leak to reporters.pic.twitter.com/2onJpsPoZU

        Would be nice if a whole group of whistleblowers coordinated some whistleblowing right about now. F trump

        One of the paradoxes of the world is that folks like me, who would love to totally blow a whistle and whatever happens happens are never in a position where we observe something worth blowing the whistle on. Oh no, we're 200 clicks over on our color printing this month!

        One of the paradoxes of the world is that most of the people obsessed with protecting a "whistleblower" already protected by the CIA also condemned real whistleblowers like Assange, Snowden, and Manning to awful fates and wanted no protection for them

        Exactly! It is a power move aimed at suppression. It's were we are at. And, yeah, I sorta remember the Obama problem with Risen (?)... Trump this shit is a personal, protective power move for now and later.https://twitter.com/RegalPastry/status/1191462419198959617 …

        Two-fold effect here.. intimidation of future whistleblowers, and turning this one into a villain for their current narrative. Doesn’t matter what the truth is.. just need someone to blame.
