[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To every person who questioned why no one else came forward sooner to report, this is why.  The whistleblower has taken enormous personal risk to come forward with this information.  Can you honestly say it would be an easy decision for you to be separated from your family, worry about whether they are in danger, etc., when there’s no assurance that your complaint will do anything?[/quote]

If my complaint was 100% true and I heard it first hand, I’d have no problem coming forward. If it was something I was told by someone else, and had no first hand knowledge of, I wouldn’t make a complaint. That’s called gossip. [/quote]

So if your daughter told you that she was raped, you wouldn't report it to the police because that would be gossip?

Oh wait. No. I know how you will answer that one. Let me reformulate to your worldview.

If thousands of scientists claimed that global warming was real and a threat to human civilization, you would keep that to yourself, right, because you aren't a scientist and have no firsthand knowledge of such things.

Nope, that's not it.

If you were told that U.S. astronauts landed on the moon, you wouldn't believe it because you weren't there. Gossip right?

Am I getting hotter?

If Sean Hannity told you Hillary Clinton kept classified information on a private server, you wouldn't believe him right, because you've never seen the server yourself. Right?

Closer. Got it.

If the WaPo reported that Donald Trump shot someone on Fifth Avenue, you wouldn't believe them. You weren't there. The reporter wasn't there. All those witnesses are liberals. Gossip. Hearsay.

Here's the thing. Trump supporters have shown again and again and again that facts mean nothing to them. So when you label something as gossip or hearsay, it sounds like a tiny snowflake falling on a mountain a thousand miles away. Your words are meaningless.
