Some Republicans, including Paul, have been trying repeatedly to circulate a name for the whistleblower whose complaint led to Trump's impeachment.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) attempted to expose the alleged name of the whistleblower who triggered Donald Trump's impeachment by putting his name on a sign on the Senate floor Tuesday.

As Paul argued against removing Trump from office, he included the name as part of an attempt to allege a "plot" targeting Trump.

Paul's outing attempt comes just a day after fellow Republican, Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA), warned against such attacks.

"Attempts by anyone to oust a whistleblower just to sell an article or score a political point—those are not helpful at all. It's not the treatment any whistleblower deserves," Grassley said.

2. I'd suggest the Senate Ethics committee but Senate Ethics is an oyxmoron now

If only there were an ethical body to which he could be referred for appropriate punishment. Not one in the Senate any longer. No one in the DOJ to refer him to either.

3. We shouldn't stand for this BS from Rand Paul!

The Justice Department should step in and.... Oh, that's right. Bill Barr won't allow that.

Well, then, the US Senate should hold him to account and...Oh, that's right. The Republicans will stick up for him, no matter what.

I know! The voters of Kentucky! Surely they won't put up with this blatant disregard for law...Oh, fuck it.

Never mind.
