On Wednesday, frustrated Rep. Louis Gohmert uttered the name of the alleged Ukraine whistleblower at the House Judiciary Committee but he did so in a tactical way.
For three years we’ve heard from people that are now in the majority talk about the ‘crimes of the President’. And where are they? Well, they kept saying, ‘Mr. President come in you gotta testify, we will be fair with you. Come tell us about the crimes. And here’s the crimes you committed.’
And where are they now that we have the articles of impeachment? Uh, a vague abuse of power, obstruction of Congress. The very things the majority has done in preventing us from having the witnesses that could shed light on this, not opinion, but fact witnesses. We needed to hear from those witnesses. People like Sean Misko, Abigail Grace, Eric Ciaramella, Devon Archer, Joe Biden, Nellie Ohr, Alexandra Chalupa and so many others. They don’t want fact witnesses. Lets hear from professors who hate Donald Trump. Who are willing to sell their education to make a point against someone they don’t like. This is a dangerous, dangerous time in America.”

Republican Rep. Louie Gohmert dropped the name of the alleged whistleblower whose complaint sparked the Trump impeachment probe in a nationally televised House Judiciary Committee hearing Wednesday night.
The Texas lawmaker said the name during his opening statement in day one of the committee’s two-day marathon session to debate possible “markups,” or amendments to the two articles of impeachment brought against President Trump.
Gohmert incorporated the alleged whistleblower’s name into a grouping of “fact witnesses” he claimed House Democrats have blocked from testifying in front of the committees carrying out the impeachment probe.
“They don’t want fact witnesses,” said Gohmert. “Let’s hear from professors who hate Donald Trump,” he said, referring to last week’s House Judiciary Committee hearing that featured a panel of four constitutional scholars. [NY Post]
He did it in a smart way. He inserted his name among a list of other names with no reference to WHO they are. If Democrats call him on it, for outing the WB, they will be the ones doing just that.
