Louie Gohmert Says That He, of All People, Knows Who the Whistleblower Is

This can't be what the Republican Party wanted. With the party facing a seemingly unending string of negative media coverage and scandal, East Texas U.S. Rep. Louie Gohmert, basically /r/the_Donald, were the subreddit given breath and a seat in the House of Representatives, has led the news twice this week, straining against whatever cliché about not making a bad situation worse you'd prefer.

After storming a secure deposition room at the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday and initiating a truly dumb standoff with the three House committees recording testimony as part of the impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump, Gohmert took to the airwaves in Dallas and told listeners that he knows the answer to one of the country's biggest ongoing mysteries.

Gohmert told arch-conservative Dallas radio host Mark Davis that he knows, by name, the identity of the whistleblower who spurred the investigation into Trump's alleged threats to withhold foreign aid from Ukraine if Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky didn't agree to dig up dirt on former Vice President Joe Biden and Biden's son, Hunter Biden.

"I don't want to bury the lead here," Davis said. "You know this person by name?"

"Yeah," Gohmert replied.

Unfortunately some duds do need an iron.

Good for you ironing! 👍

You know my husband died from cardiac arrest in March. I could write a book on my travails due to incompetency of financial accounts and other jerky stuff. I nearly 'lose it' on a weekly basis.

Greatest trial of my life. Then there's the dump travesty that's unending. Some daydreaming I picture Barack still in office and I breathe a sigh of what was.

This too shall pass and it had better'n.
It occurred to me the other day that all previous oligarchy dictators are no longer.

I enjoy all your offerings even tho I don't always say inna reply.

Stay safe and be well. 💙

You just take it one step at a time and know you will come through.

I hurt for you. I actually sat down, wrote a list oof the goals I would like to achieve, crossed them off one by one. Life changes, but you can do it.

The whistleblower doesn't matter any more because there are several others who have now testified to the same information. I was going to use the word irrelevant, but I'm not sure you know the meaning of that, Louie.
