Don’t forget Trump also blew the whistle on himself by releasing the call readout!
That’s another impeachable offense...add it to the list.
This dumba$$!
Norma you have to have to have a brain to rethink things unfortunately this president clearly has none
It’s ok danish the laws of this country don’t mean anything to this president and his supporters
My German shepherd has more common sense and morals than this idiot that we are forced to accept as the commander in chief
Kisssssss my assssss mr president
He’s gonna say he is traitor and he’s the enemy of the people right
Cause this is still under investigation and other whistleblowers weren’t threatens publicly by the President of the United States
Everybody knew it anyway. SURPRISE
Finally, Schiff can find out who it is! 🙄
He doesn’t know who the whistle blower is. Is this news NPR?
😂😂😂😂 Ridiculous!😂😂😂😂😏
What a putz...
And your point being _____. Grow a pair of brain cells!
Wow, Republicans don’t believe in democracy. Steve Scalise is absolutey a traitor to this country.
Eric Ciaramella
If he’s THAT stupid, he needs to go. Sorry . BaaBye
We all wanted that
NPR under fire after closing the gap to FakeNewsCNN, for worst information and bias.
Can his whole get any bigger?
Trump is a reckless instigator.
Just another day as 🤪 President as far as I'm concerned...
How dare you put peoples lives in jeopardy, how you like a poster saying wanted a large reward.
Just shows how stupid this President is.
He should be arrested immediately
He should be more than under fire. He deliberately and, with malice of forethought, endangered this person’s life. 45 is lawless & despicable and needs to be removed from office now. He is an existential threat to our democracy and the danger grows daily
Can we have witness protection against POTUS now? please.
This is against the law. Another impeachable offense? Perhaps he'd like to be known as the most Impeached. More impeached than any other president. Sad.
Isn't revealing the name odd a whistleblower a federal crime
He is NOT a whistleblower. WTFU
In other news: He now yells at lamps, apparently.
Like he cares. Seriously. He doesn't care one bit what people think. Remember, he said he could shoot someone on 5th ave and get away it. He thinks he's above the law.
My wish is that we hold the GOP accountable for staying silent. They are just as much criminals as Trump for letting this happen.
SenRonJohnson Your savior hard at work. Man up and denounce Trump.
If they find out who the WB is, they can figure out who talked to him/her. They want to get rid of anyone 'disloyel'. It's all about revenge .
How dare he think he's entitled to common fairness.....the nerve.
Trump is a bulldog. He won't let go of an insult or attack, no matter how warranted they are. Just think of the good things he could have done if he weren't a shell of a human being?
How is this gun in office? Still
I think indicting tRump for attempting to publicize the whistleblower's name would be the more appropriate reaction rather than 'coming under' feathering and meaningless 'fire'.
Trumpnis truly a child mentally
there is a huge difference between having a political vendetta or a serious concern regarding this country's international position due to an individual's actions. exposing a whistleblower in today's heated environment is knowingly harming that person. it is wrong.
Sounds to me like another impeachable offense. Disgusting man.
Define “under fire” please.
ImpeachAndRemoveTrump or 25thAmendmentNow
he doesn't even have to order anything explicitly he can just say 'the walls of the oval office might look better in gold and mirrors' and then somebody does it and then he can deny it 'I never asked for... I never said....'
He won't be freaking Under Fire until he is freaking under arrest. Words mean nothing to the bimbo in chief.
Impeachable offense number 666.
If 'Anything' happens to tha 'Whistleblower or their Family' Trump should be Indicted!!!!!!
Twitter, I'm ashamed of you!
you can’t be a whistleblower unless you reveal yourself
I saw this picture and thought he was yelling at a lamp... and wasn't shocked at all.
realDonaldTrump has always bought his way out of his crimes like Trump U & his Trump Foundation scandal.... ... As POTUS, he thinks he can get away with ANYTHING.... ... HOLD HIM ACCOUNTABLE, GOP/DNC!!! SpeakerPelosi HouseDemocrats HouseGOP SenateDems SenateGOP
Let’s move this thing over to the Senate and get on with the election.
Criminal!
It’s perfectly legal
Trump should be impeached again for this!
The man is entitled to know who his accuser is and demand proof. In this case, an apology to President Trump and every citizen of America is due.
And of course yet again...zero consequences.
His account should be suspended for a month, maybe more. He needs to rethink, if that’s possible.
realDonaldTrump when NPR posts another negative story about him.
he should be in prison. he's demoniac .
Who would’ve thought this guy would cyber-bully? I’m in total shock.
To be fair, Im guessing two thirds of his followers are bots
Under fire from the media. Everyone following this story knows who the whistleblower is. Your feigned outrage is boring.
Solved it for you
Pure evil.
He is now totally responsible for the wellbeing of this person for the rest of there life and there family also.
He should resign immediately.
And nothing will happen the red hats will defend anything he does no matter how wrong. Our congress and Senate are defending and allowing this behavior to maintain their seats.
He should be fired completely. He has no respect or care for anyone but himself.
There were other people before him who mentioned the name. Who cares
Really, Twitter? How have you not banned this traitor to the rule of law?
Big deal. Everyone has known of sweet little Eric for some time.
Yet another impeachable offense. What is the Senate waiting for? A Hitler-style political enemy purge?
Public information
Yet nothing happened when CNN, MSNBC, voxdotcom, and HuffPost use his name. Makes you wonder why are certain 'news' outlets protected and not shut down for the same reason.
TwitchBunny bruh moment
Probably because he wants the person 'dealt with'. He and his followers are masters of plausible deniability
You vet the whistleblowers facts . That is how the whistleblower laws work. You don’t punish whistleblowers or else no wrong doing will ever be brought forward. They vetted the whistle blower and found credible evidence you crooks.
He broke the law. why he could be above the law?
'Outing and shaming whistleblowers harms national security by discouraging government officials from using official channels to report abuses,' McQuade said. 'Alternatives are leaks or, perhaps even worse, silence.'
Sadly there is no one to reprimand this spoiled brat of a president
Does a child stop behaving badly, or pushing the envelope, without any consequence? How many times have we identified this child’s bad behavior at this point? When will there finally be any real consequences? “Coming under fire” doesn’t resonate with trump, clearly.
Not a whistle-blower. He is a CIA asset dispatched by Brennan. Indictments coming. The world is about to change. Epstein ClintonFoundation humantrafficking
While I believe that it would be illegal, let’s face it, the person will have a price on his head from the Presidents base. To me it’s just another day in the Shit Show that is the President of the United States.
Anyone who reveals the whistleblower's name is committing a crime. All accounts that do so should be reported to Twitter.
He should come under gun fire. He’s a traitor and a lawbreaker.
His whistle never stops blowing.
This is what Mussolini, Hitler & Franco did to limit Free Speech and to eliminate the democratic Govts that were in power-These dictators fueled the Rise of Fascism & the Nazi Party which created one of the worst periods in the history of mankind. History cannot repeat itself!
I wish he was under fire for real
Bully move
The whistleblower is a fraud. The leftist Media would not hesitate to out the rat if he was a Republican. Media malpractice on display.
Also... If they were that concerned about corruption, shouldn't that have been aired before Congress in some fashion? Like, maybe when the appropriation was up for debate. Or introduce a supplemental bill. Or something...
Just so we're clear...he retweeted a news organization that named the whistleblower...and he's in trouble for it? Does the writer of the story face any charges?
Trump’s target isn’t primarily this whistleblower, but the many other government employees who may be contemplating blowing the whistle on Trump administration misconduct — and who are now on notice that Trump will try to destroy them.
Please read the Inspector General’s Act which outlines prohibitions against legal and retaliatory actions against whistle blowers in addition to guaranteed anonymity. This is supported by Sen Grassley (R). Schiff was not in mind, the rule of law was.
Trump blatantly violated Federal law. Ques for the so-called Christians : how do you justify this?
Is the story that he revealed the whistleblower’s identity or that he’s been criticized for it? Weak headline .
The Democrat deep state operative who is pretending to be a whistleblower is ERIC CIARAMELLA. Keep up the great work, President Trump! Any questions?
Not the same 'whistleblower' we all know the name of... NPR is corrupt.
Cause we all didnt know the whistleblowers name already courtesy of the media..... Grow up.
He is a bully. Always. HeNeedsToGo
You mean the name that's been out there for months 🥱
Eric Ciaramella
This is against the law, one more reason he should be removed from Office.
Comes under fire? Isn’t what he did an actual crime? WTF.
Obstruction of justice, bullying a potential witness and a direct attack on our democracy... impeach and remove is the only option to this lawless entitled criminal
Here's a great example of 'false equivalency'. The criticism has no merit.
The left is mad. They didn’t want his name to come out. They know he was a I heard it from Adam schitty. LOL
Maybe his Twitter account should be suspended...
“President Trump has come under fire.” How many times have you read leads like this? Remember Edmund Burke - “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”
It’s not such a big secret. Even my iPhone knows
Another 'High Crime and Misdemeanor'.
But it's bull Schiff, 68 million People are probably just going to whistle and laugh at him. I think he deserves that after being part of an overthrow coup. The butt of jokes, not respected.
So there is nothing illegal about it, and it’s been out in the press for months. Net it’s a old, non-story. It did however get some clicks and allowed you to talk to an expert about Trumps “pathology”. 🤷🏽♂️ congrats!
Trump's America is the enemy of the free world as well as the enemy of American democracy.
it ALL goes down in PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE 🎙🇺🇸🌩🏦🗽💰📥🏤🏩🏢🏣🏨🏩🏬🏤📲📵
President Dirtbag Trump is always doing the wrong thing. He can’t help himself. Rules, laws, ethics, morals mean nothing to him.
Isn’t that illegal? Not that it matters to this President
So if this true why hasn’t he been arrested for breaking the law. Or is this another article of impeachment?
And nothing will happen.
45 just does what Putin wants.
Who cares?
The TheJusticeDept had confirmed that Schiff's fake whistleblower did not fit the legal definition of a whistleblower, and his name has been widely reported. Any attempt to suggest that the president did anything wrong or illegal, or even impeachable, will be swiftly dispatched.
The whistleblower is protected by law. Again this illustrates disregard for the rule of law. Both McConnell and Trump must go - along with a few more.
That many people follow him? Is this really true?!
I never saw it! Was it Shifty Schiffs’ boy toy?!?
Given the number of whackos associated with realDonaldTrump, in announcing the name of the whistleblower - in addition to violating FederalLaw - Trump is also putting a target on said whitstleblower. Should that happen, this POTUS should be tried, convicted & imprisoned.
Since the so-called whistle blower is NOT a whistle blower under the definition of the whistle blower statute, NPR is just blowing smoke here...again. Slow news day?
Republicans:
Trump 2020
“political vendetta” Republican Scalise has only one part correct as Impeached45 witness tampering Whistleblower with upcoming Senate impeachment trial. Impeached45 is unfit disgrace to America and Americans laws. 🇺🇸⚖️🗳🗽 2020Election Vote Out CorruptGOP
Enough with these Orwellian mind games already. His name has been out in the wild for a month or two now, and Trump wasn't the person spilled the beans. How long do you people expect us to pretend we don't know anything about this Shmeric Shmiaramella dude? It's not a crime.
Oh come on he’s been identified. There is no law that protects his identity. He’s still employed.
Given the number of whackos assoiated with realDonaldTrump, in announcing the name of the whistleblower - in addition to violating Federallaw is also putting a target on said whistleblower. Should that happen, this POTUS should be tried & imprisoned.
No protections exist for whistleblower anonymity so what’s your point?
His name is Eric Ciaramella. I don't understand why there's a stigma towards mentioning his name. Everybody knows the names of previous whistleblowers. Why is this one so special?
You mean the name that AdamSchiff released months ago?
'President Trump has come under fire' is the standing headline for anything. He could find the cure for cancer and he be under fire for that!
Whistle blowing cockroach needs the light of day
Again pretending we forgot it was public domain shared by journalist.
Underfire.....a.k.a. people ALWAYS upset with Trump also mad about this.
So he breaks the law. This is news? The fact remains he believes he IS the law...
If anything happens to that individual, he should be held personally accountable, whether in or out of office.
Trump is endangering a witness’s life. This can be viewed as obstruction and witness retaliation.
Eric Ciaramella is the so-called ‘whistleblower’. See, nothing happened. It’s irrelevant.
President?..ahhhh, you mean Impeached Number 3!!!!!
Nobody cares who blew the whistle. As far as I'm concerned that person deserves a medal of freedom.
Accusers shouldn't be anonymous
Luckily most of his followers are fake.
Remember, Congressional Republicans endorse what Trump does. Every single time.
IMPEACH (again). INDICT. CONVICT. IMPRISON.
RemoveTrumpNow he is a national disgrace.
68 million followers. 40 million are bots. Lol
why the need to cushion this as a “name LINKED to the whistleblower”? Why can you STILL not report facts? After 3 years of this insanity you should have learned.
Cmon... this is directly from RepAdamSchiff. Why would NPR ignore that and instead assign blame to Trump? Bias.
😡
To be fair, 67 M of those followers are Russian bots. 😄
Because when you truly know that you're headed for Prison. Anything goes.
CriminalInChief MafiisoDon
Dear NPR: A more accurate headline would be 'Trump Attempts to Commit Witness Tampering on Twitter'.
There are wb protection laws. Trump has broken the law. Trump jr. has broken the law. Arrest these criminals already. Or is the AG just as guilty ?
No one knows who the 'whistleblower' is so the president cannot be accused of using his name
Can Twitter ban Trump? 🤔
Over reacting much anyone? Who cares?
Anyone can re tweet anything thats in the public domain
When is trump going to start publicly shooting his enemies?
