Ever since MAGA supporters in Congress discovered that their dear leader was on the chopping block thanks to the brave actions of a whistleblower, the whole lot of them have been fighting tooth and nail to have the individual outed, despite numerous laws and rules that disallow such things, no doubt in an attempt to ensure that the person suffers the very ramifications that whistleblower rules and laws are in place to protect them from — revenge from the MAGA crowd.
Several prominent figures in Congress, Trump’s cabinet, and some of his closest family and friends have either pushed for the public release of the individual’s name or simply taken matters in their own hands and publicly outed individuals that right-wing conspiracy theorist have pegged as the Trump tattle-tale — Donald’s very own son, his namesake Donald Trump Jr., being one of them.
But leading the charge of GOPers deadset on putting this person’s life in danger is Kentucky Senator and Trump flunky Rand Paul.
Over the course of the past several months, since the whistleblower’s existence was revealed, Paul has been gunning to not only reveal the identity of the person they’ve labeled as a snitch but strip them and the rest of the nation of any laws to protect and preserve their safety.

Rand’s behavior has been deplorable enough as he’s blocked Senate resolutions meant to protect whistleblowers and even gone so far as to tweet out the alleged name of the individual on social media. However, the Kentucky Senator’s depravity reached new levels today when he read out what is claimed to be the whistleblower’s name on the Senate floor as Trump’s impeachment trial comes to a corrupt conclusion.
Last week Paul submitted a question during the trial that included the individual’s name but Chief Justice John Roberts refused to read it out loud — serving as the one and only question Roberts rejected throughout the entire trial.
“I think they made a big mistake not allowing my question. My question did not accuse anybody of being a whistleblower,” the Kentucky Senator declared from the Senate floor today.
Rand Paul just read aloud his question on the Senate floor that names the alleged whistleblower. Roberts declined to read the question during the trial. Paul says he’s not outing the whistleblower bc he doesn’t know who it is.

Paul then proceeded to read the question out loud for all to hear, complete with the whistleblower’s name, while standing next to a placard that repeated the question in text.

I think it’s safe to say at this point that Rand Paul has officially reached the bottom.
Political Tribune will not be outing the name of the individual alleged by Paul as the whistleblower.
