Rand Paul demands media print whistleblower's name
The Hill ^ | 11/04/19 08:29 PM EST | BY MORGAN CHALFANT

Posted on 11/04/2019 6:17:23 PM PST by RandFan

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) on Monday demanded the media reveal the identity of the anonymous whistleblower who raised concerns about President Trump’s contacts with Ukraine, leading to the House's impeachment inquiry.

Paul, speaking in his home state at a Trump campaign rally, referenced unconfirmed reports in conservative media that the whistleblower worked for former Vice President Joe Biden, questioning the person’s credibility.

“We also now know the name of the whistleblower. The whistleblower needs to come forward as a material witness because he worked for Joe Biden at the same time Hunter Biden was getting money from corrupt oligarchs,” Paul said at the rally after Trump invited him onstage.

“I say tonight to the media, do your job and print his name,” Paul told the crowd to loud cheers.

Rand Paul 2024.

And I wish Trump could convince him to replace Pence in 2020.

He’s the only man both brave enough and articulate enough to carry the flag in the future.

“Rand Paul 2024.

Senator Rand Paul is acting like a pussy and he doesn’t need the media to reveal who it is. Sen. Paul can reveal the who the fake “whistleblower” is during legislative debate and be protected by the Speech and Debate Clause of the U.S. Constition.

Why do people keep posting things from the Hill? Look how obviously biased this article is. They are just as bad as Political.

Yes, he is indeed both brave and articulate, but he's not the only one with such qualifications. Remember, the conservative wing of the GOP has a deep bench of young, brave, articulate warriors who would comport themselves well as future presidents.

Check out Bevin. He has actual executive experience, unlike Rand, and like Trump knows how to go after the legacy media and the Left with social media.

Besides, the candidates would have to be Rothchild/Kissinger approved and controlled. Trump was not, Rand is not.

Have a couple dozen GOP guys each hold up a card with one letter. Spell out the name. Then do a wave like in football arenas. Each would be guilty of only one letter so no prosecution. Gimme an “E”....

At the next rally, have the Trump campaign pass out t-shirts with “CIARAMELLI” written on them to the people sitting behind him.

They could even emphasize CIA.

Shiit and his mystery witness should be subpoena’d and it should be televised for all to see

Nope - he knows we all know who the guy is and that it’s only the Big Fake News folks who refuse to publish it to try to keep up the “mystique” of the guy behind the curtain - even after the curtain has been torn from the rod and he’s there for all to see. That’s why he calls to them - to reinforce that we already know and why they’re desperate to hide since neither “whistleblower” will testify because both committed sedition at best and treason at worst.

“Remember, the conservative wing of the GOP has a deep bench of young, brave, articulate warriors who would comport themselves well as future presidents. “

Most are neocons when it comes to overseas adventure.

When parsed for nationalists, very few make the cut.
