Lawless, Reckless Thuggery: Donald Trump Jr. Illegally Tweets the Actual Name of the Alleged Whistleblower After Breitbart Posted a Trumpian Propaganda Story on Him. Lock Trump Jr. Up.
November 6, 2019
BUZZFLASH NEWS UPDATE
Donald Trump Jr. has reprehensibly, ruthlessly and illegally tweeted the alleged name of the whistleblower on the morning of November 6. BuzzFlash is not reposting Trump Jr’s tweet because it might further endanger the safety of the person he disclosed.
Trump Jr. likely knew the name in advance of a Wednesday morning article in the right-wing Breitbart. Breitbart, once chaired by Stephen Bannon was clearly amplifying Trump’s efforts to smear the alleged whistleblower as a “never-Trumper.” The pro-Trump publication tried to link the alleged whistleblower to Hillary Clinton, Obama , Biden and Trump’s unhinged 2016 conspiracy theories.
The release of the name and alleged and Breitbart claims are clearly an effort to provide Trump with fodder for his calculated focus on the whistleblower being a partisan plant. Trump Jr. also released the name, which he would be unlikely to do without his father’s permission, on the morning after significant Democrative victories in the 2019 off-year elections, thus distracting from the story line that Trump may be an electoral albatross.
BuzzFlash has chosen not to hyperlink to the Breitbart article given the jeopardy it puts the alleged whistleblower in. Trump Jr should be prosecuted forthwith for breaking the whistleblower statute.
As an article in Vox explains,
It’s becoming increasingly clear that Republicans won’t be satisfied until the whistleblower is unmasked. That’s worrisome, as federal laws protect whistleblowers from revealing their identity. That key rule is in place to give administration officials the confidence to come forward without worrying about reprisals.
Indeed, given his reckless disregard for the law and the personal well-being of the whistleblower, Trump Jr., not a member of the government, should be indicted forthwith.
It is also worthy of note that the Russian media disclosed the alleged whistleblower prior to Donald Trump Jr’s betrayal. With the Trump family, all roads lead to Putin, as Nancy Pelosi has famously said.
While BuzzFlash will not currently post the name of the whistleblower, you can find the tweet on Donald Trump Jr’s account and the story at Breitbart if you so choose
