If the whole issue you have is about partisanship in an investigation, reporting to Bill Barr is a big no no. He is nothing but a partisan.

It's the House intel committee...it's not like he leaked it to AOC. Look, we're going to investigate this ad nauseum and if the whistleblower truly didn't act in good faith, the Senate will acquit if Trump is actually impeached. At the end of the day though, there's enough smoke to actually investigate this and these accusations are incredibly concerning to me.

There is no "legitimacy" to an impeachment process. It's a political decision and nothing more. Why do we pretend it's some sacred procedure when the GOP went after Clinton 20 years ago?

Michael k. Atkinson is not Bill Barr.

This is true. But if he does find them is that grounds for dismissal? Can he fire them? Like iif you work in white house im sure you have to sign some sort of non disclosure agreement?



Thanks for informing me about that.I thought NDA were supposed to prevent things like this from happening.

Why would an American patriot report anything to a Trump appointee, when Trump and his entire cabinet are traitors to the United States?

NDA's are sometimes used to cover up legal grey or even illegal areas. but their main purpose is to prevent people from being embarrassed OR to prevent trade secrets from passing in the business sector.

like if you're a celeb with a tiny peener you make groupies sign an NDA so they can't tell anyone. or if you're working on a project for a new super chocolate for Nestle they make you sign an NDA so you can't sell it to another company once u get the formula down.

also, NDAs are used sometimes to prevent people from divulging details in a civil suit where the victim accepts cash rather than pressing charges in a criminal court. so like if i fondled you then you took a 5$ settlement for it you couldn't turn around and try to shame me in public, since in theory i paid you for the fondling. and it was the best 5$ i've ever spent btw.


as to your question to skinned firing whistle blowers can be a legal nightmare. thats part of the protections i was talking about. you cant fire and/or intimidate them or fine them in most cases.

michael k. atkinson has been working in the government for over 15 years, but now is a traitor due to trump being pressident. What asinine behavior.

Ah seems like a contract of convenience i guess depending what takes place and what side of the table your on.

NDA doesn't typically mean you look the other way when you see criminal activity.

of course not at the time seemed like some big grey area to me.
