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.”

Well it IS a Mormon god’s view of who they are. And, he has a LOT not to be discovered by pursuing the Ukraine, and... leading to his Panama Papers offshore accounts and foreign money.

Mitt faked out the GOP and Ryan is even worse. Who would ever think that a Mormon would win the South, with a VP candidate that is like a Milwaukee socialist (read: radical catholic) Just was never going to happen in re: the “black” vote such as it was. Too bad Trump wasn’t in that primary and he would have kicked obamaumao’s a@@.

Mitt Romney never fails to backstab allies. Mitt Romney is a POS.

Mitt is an idiot. Confidential, indeed.

The term idiot is, in the case of Senor Delecto, an understatement howling for elaboration. The now notorious Senor Delecto is a line bred Jack Mormon with a double digit IQ at least 15 points lower than his father's, a stone dumb RINO also afflicted with delusions of becoming President. But the father was an amiable dunce, [like the equally amiable dunce Clark Clifford, who coined the term while looking in the mirror], and certainly not consumed by seething hatred for his political and intellectual superiors. Senor Pierre Delecto, however, has always borne the ugly burden of malignant narcissism, the standard marker for corrupt, blinding ambition. But, it seems, he never became totally and openly deranged until his three visits to Mar a Lago, to beg for the Sec State slot, conducting himself like some street junkie in the Portland tenderloin, short of cash. Not only was Unlucky Pierre incapable of reading the President on the first visit, he went back for seconds and thirds. Nor could he read Priebus, sitting directly across the table, staring at him like a Mafia consigliere staring at a dead man. What a number was laid on him for all of us to see. And that is when Unlucky Pierre snapped, truly out of his gord.

Well a “Whistle blower” told me the reason Romeny doesn’t want any of this to come out is he is up to his neck in the Ukrainian corruption and is worried about being exposed

First of all it is questionable whether this person is actually a whistleblower since they changed the definition to include hearsay.

Secondly, there should be an examination of how actual whistleblowers have been treated to establish best practices since so many have their lives ruined for trying to hold power to account.

The record of the Obama administration on this issue was not a good one. We can do better, but part of doing better is rooting out corrupt practices, like changing rules to protect political hacks.

Why is it that the commie DNC weasels are able to keep their rabble under control? They are all afraid because they know exactly what happened to Seth Rich.

Depends on the case. If a whistle blower reveals corrupt accounting on a defense contract, for example, then anonymity is acceptable.

But in the case of a hearsay document that could spell the end of a presidency,the witness should be out in the light of day being cross examined.

He’s trying to break a record and make his 17% approval to single digits.

Hey, Pierre, he is a leaker, not a whistleblower. Romney is a cuck.

Pretty sure the Constitution says something like “the accused shall enjoy the right. . . to be confronted with the witnesses against him”.

Apparently Myth hates the Constitution — and basic due process.

Thanks, Utah. You are all idiots.

How about corporate whistleblowers, Mitt? I’m sure there are some insiders who could give us some interesting insights into the actions of Bain Capital.

Romney needs to permanently remain confidential as in out to lunch.

Read just yesterday that only 18% of the American public think of Romney as favorable.

In other news, favorability of used car salesmen up to 24%.
