Question: "The whistleblower laws protect the whistleblower. You know it's illegal to out a whistleblower?"
Sen. @RandPaul: "Actually, you see you've got that wrong."

This particular whistleblower is a material witness to the Biden conflict of interest scandal involving $50,000 paid monthly to Hunter Biden. The whistleblower should absolutely be subpoenaed and asked what he knew about the Biden corruption. realclearinvestigations.com/articles/2019/…
