Paul says he 'probably will' disclose whistleblower's name

[brooklynite]

Source: The Hill

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) said on Tuesday that he might disclose the name of a whistleblower whose complaint about President Trump's actions toward Ukraine spurred the House impeachment inquiry.

Asked why he hasn't disclosed the name of the unknown individual, Paul told reporters that he "probably will."

"I'm more than willing to, and I probably will at some point. ... There is no law preventing anybody from saying the name," Paul told reporters.

Paul doubled down on potentially publicly releasing the whistleblower's name during an interview with Fox News's Bret Baier on Tuesday night, saying that he "may" disclose the name.

3. Rand Paul is as evil as Trump.

[thenelm1]

12. And apparently as dumb as our orange Fuehrer...

To state the obvious, to what point now? Trump himself and a whole bunch of other witnesses have completely shown that the WB's submission of concern of possible corruption were totally valid!! Oh, I get it, let's crucify the person for having the temerity to voice any concern to his proper IC of a possible case of extortion (enough of the 'Quid Pro Quo' nonsense) by our dumbass übergroppenführer. A couple of weeks late and more than a few dollars short Paul - you dumbass.

5. No wonder his neighbor

beat the tar out of him. Imagine living close by that FREAK. Little man, with little respect. He certainly belongs in the gop. The entire party are useless.

[defacto7]

6. He's a psychopath

[Eliot Rosewater]

7. Just imagine what would happen if this was a Democrat exposing

Just imagine what would happen if this was a Democrat exposing a whistle blower

But again the rules do apply to the Democrats and not at all to Republicans ..a good hard slap is needed here

[marble falls]

8. The only reason Paul doesn't seem like the shit ball he is, he's Scotty Pippen to Moscow's Mitch's

Michael Jordon as far as assholishness and greed go.

9. Well, there actually is a law, Senator

Do you have a motive for doing so? Are you trying to intimidate the whistleblower?

But aside from that, so what if you release the whistleblower's name? The overwhelming evidence from many sources presented so far confirms all of the issues in the complaint.

Besides, you fucking idiot, Trump already confessed to the crime.

Do you know how to read English?

As the dumbass has said, read the transcript.

13. His motive is to induce fear into other potential whistleblowers and....

to create a living hell for the one in this case.

Paul knows tRump's goons will not let this go without damaging this person......

[PJMcK]

14. Yeah, I get that

I'm just blowing off my anger.

Have a good night, KY.

10. That's the definition of traitor.

Apparently, Paul's only libertarian when it comes to feeding his lust for power and sucking up to the idiot king Trump.

[Hekate]

11. Thank you, Senator, for reminding all of us what an unregenerate *hole you are

Go to hell, Rand Paul.

[LiberalFighter]

15. We should disclose the names of foreigners (Russians) that contribute to him.

[dhill926]

21. What y'all just said...

[dchill]

16. It's just really hard for him to not be a shit.

[BlueIdaho]

17. That little pipsqueak

Can go fuck himself - then he can be charged with a felony.

[Baltimike]

18. hope somebody "probably will" disclose where he lives....the asshole. nt

[stopbush]

19. Such a piece of shit.

[olddad65]

20. I can see this backfiring on this dickwad.

[Captain Zero]

22. Somebody has to charge him or sue him if he does.

If he has the name he has it illegally anyway. He is not even in the administrative chain that would supposedly know who that is and so whoever gave it to him broke the law about whistle blower protections, and he will too if he reveals it.

[jmowreader]

24. Since a MAGAt will attempt to kill the whistleblower if his name is known...

...Rand Paul should be charged with attempted murder if there is an attempted hit, and murder if the WB dies.

[Kota]

26. So in the whistleblower law.

Revealing the name is not punishable?
