Romney: Whistleblowers ‘Should Be Allowed to Remain Confidential’
Breitbart ^ | 11/05/2019 | Ian Hanchett

Posted on 11/06/2019 6:11:49 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

While speaking to reporters on Tuesday, Senator Mitt Romney (R-UT) reacted to calls to reveal the whistleblower’s identity by stating that whistleblowers, especially those speaking about government action, “should be allowed to remain confidential.”

Romney said, “My own view is that whistleblowers, particularly those that are blowing whistles on action within the government, should be allowed to remain confidential.”

Eric Ciaramella is not a whistleblower, he is a CIA operative working for a cabal of current and former intelligence officials and members of Congress to spy on the President of the United States with the objective of removing him from office.

Former CIA director John Mclaughlin let that cat out of the bag recently during a public forum, sitting alongside John Brennan. In response to a reporter’s question he not only thanked God for the deep state, but can be heard starting to use the word “operative” to describe Ciaramella before catching himself and changing up.

Absolutely not!!!!!!!!! If they are TRUE whistle-blowers, they should be protected from retaliation, but anonymous whisle-blowers are simply conviction by accusation. There is NO WAY to protect yourself from it. NOTHING is more un-American than that notion. That is an insurmountable tool in the quiver of the left that is utterly immoral and power hungry.

Once again, Romney confirms his lack of morality. Shame does not darken an evil soul.

His sole reason for being in the Senate seems to be to give liberal media bi partisan red meat. Well done Utah...

the GOP just needs to die. and quickly.

****************

The GOP is a fake party that stands for nothing.

If they were a company they would have gone out of business long ago as nobody would buy what they’re selling — which is nothing of any value.

“Delicious Peter shares his perverted view of justice.”

Very much like Hillary Clinton who was on the Watergatge committee, and who got herself kicked off, because she did not want President Nixon to even have the counsel of any lawyer.

Romney wouldn’t even come close to being my favorite Rat . . . that would be Joe Manchin, although even he is utterly unacceptable.

What a horrible nominee he was in 2012. He’s so upset that he’s not President and President Trump is.

Go away Pierre Delecto - what a wierdo.

I think this was Paul Harvey speaking about another polytick. I think it applies to Romney. It went something like this.

Everyone shoots them self in the foot from time to time. He just reloads so fast.

Someone reporting on 2nd hand hearsay is not a whistleblower. Not matter how the deep state retroactively changes the definition.

Take it out of the impeachment context. As certainly happens, let’s say a whistleblowers complaint results in a person being charged with a crime. So you’re thinking the constitutional right to confront your accuser needs to go out window because.... you hate Trump. Is that about right, genius?

That Pierre Delecto alter ego should give the Mormons in Utah reason to pause.

It’s a somewhat obscene name. Does he lead a secret life? I mean other than his association with Golden Sacks, the Koch Brother, Paul Ryan, and Warren “Obama Crony” Buffet.

Yes he is— via Romney’s close pal James Cofer Black who joine d as a Director of the Ukrainian gas company Burisma in Feb. 2017, at a time when Hunter Biden was still on the Board— as yet undiscovered in re: the Burisma kickback scheme and
Corrupt Ukraine.

Black was counterterrorism advisor to the Romney Pres. campaign.. .which he lost to the terrorist president, because of his big f’n mouth ignoring the 47% or some crap (taped by jimmah cahtah’s fag son, i think).

huffinpuffin post: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/former-cia-director-joins-burisma-and-it-is-good-news_b_58adf600e4b01f4ab51c75a4

Cofer’s long history includes being Chief of Cia station in Sudan when Bin Laden was there, and billy boy clinton would not authorize taking him. Have to say, Cofer formed the al quaeda watching cells, joiningt the CTC of cia in 1999— not soon enough (and a result of idiotic non communication with US counterintel— ie. FBI- didn’t detect the 9-11 terror groups, though they could have).

The “ whistle blowers” are looking like they are actually coup conspirators who are trying to manufacture whistle blower claims to fraudulently obtain whistle blower immunity to protect themselves from jail

FU Romney. Maybe if he WAS a whistle-blower, that doesn’t apply to LEAKING. He is asking for jail time.

Romney, please stop this and come clean, tell everyone that the truth. You will do or say anything and kiss anyones a$$ to dump on Trump.

What a POS!!!!
