ABC: Trump Demanding Whistleblower ID Could Be Impeachable Offense

‘George, this could well be a violation of federal whistleblower protection laws and is also the kind of thing that could end up being one of the articles of impeachment against the President’

Both through his tweeting, some 30 tweets over the weekend, but in terms of this attack on the whistleblower, it has been relentless. Of course, it started by suggesting the whistleblower or those who talked to the whistleblower are essentially spies and the punishment for spying used to be death. And now demanding to know -- to out the whistleblower. His own aides have called the whistleblower part of a deep state conspiracy. George, this could well be a violation of federal whistleblower protection laws and is also the kind of thing that could end up being one of the articles of impeachment against the President, intimidating the whistleblower."
