Nunes' aid is leaking name of whistleblower

Anonymous
Nunes has an aide who apparently has been leaking the name of the whistleblower. He's been handing Republicans a name as they go into depositions, which they've been dropping into their questioning as a way to get it into the record, hoping it'll get released.

Deplorables, the whole lot of them. Who truly don't care about the rule of law as it applies to themselves.

A top aide to Rep. Devin Nunes has been providing conservative politicians and journalists with information—and misinformation—about the anonymous whistleblower who triggered the biggest crisis of Donald Trump’s presidency, two knowledgeable sources tell The Daily Beast.

Derek Harvey, who works for Nunes, the ranking Republican on the House intelligence committee, has provided notes for House Republicans identifying the whistleblower’s name ahead of the high-profile depositions of Trump administration appointees and civil servants in the impeachment inquiry. The purpose of the notes, one source said, is to get the whistleblower’s name into the record of the proceedings, which committee chairman Adam Schiff has pledged to eventually release. In other words: it’s an attempt to out the anonymous official who helped trigger the impeachment inquiry.

On Saturday, The Washington Post reported that GOP lawmakers and staffers have “repeatedly” used a name purporting to be the whistleblower during the depositions. The paper named Harvey as driving lines of questioning Democrats saw as attempting to determine the political loyalties of witnesses before the inquiry. A former official told the Post that Harvey “was passing notes [to GOP lawmakers] the entire time” ex-NSC Russia staffer Fiona Hill testified.

Isn't this a felony as there are laws protecting whistleblowers?

Why does the whistleblower matter at this point? It’s like blaming the smoke alarm when you have six witnesses to the arson and the perp has confessed.

It is to intimidate him and his family - it is a vengeful move to punish him.

Probably from DOJ.

The whistleblower is entitled to protection from retaliation. He is not entitled to anonymity.

If the House votes to impeach, you can bet the whistleblower will be subpoenaed by the Senate.

If I remember correctly, the former Nunes aide behind the infamous memo was burrowed into the NSC. It's all one giant feedback loop of dunces.

+1 and once Trump knows who he is there’s no possible way he won’t instruct his administration to retaliate.
