WHO CHANGED THE LONG STANDING WHISTLEBLOWER RULES JUST BEFORE SUBMITTAL OF THE FAKE WHISTLEBLOWER REPORT? DRAIN THE SWAMP!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 30, 2019
From cpsc.gov:
"Whistleblower Protection Enhancement Act (WPEA)
"In 2012 Congress passed the WPEA into law to strengthen protections for Federal employees who report fraud, waste, and abuse. The WPEA clarifies the scope of protected disclosures."
Does 2012 come just before 2019? Well I'll be damned.
Anyway, we must add the president's fresh foray into mass bamboozlement to our list of "Trumpian Humbug."
This morning, on, of course, Twitter, Trump also asked this about Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff: "Arrest for Treason?"
Now that's not so funny. This punk of a "first captain" in military school increasingly resembles that punk of a little corporal on The Night of the Long Knives, during which the latter murdered possibly a thousand Brüder, whom he suspected of being a real or potential threat. All dissenters, all political contenders, all persons of ideologies of even the faintest deviation were to be corralled and slaughtered.
If anyone reproaches me and asks why I did not resort to the regular courts of justice, then all I can say is this. In this hour I was responsible for the fate of the German people, and thereby I became the supreme judge of the German people. I gave the order to shoot the ringleaders in this treason, and I further gave the order to cauterise down to the raw flesh the ulcers of this poisoning of the wells in our domestic life. Let the nation know that its existence—which depends on its internal order and security—cannot be threatened with impunity by anyone!
