No, Bernie Does NOT Want To Protect Whistleblowers

A few days ago, Bernie Sanders announced his support for protection of whistleblowers. What his supporters have missed in this TALKING POINT is the very obvious omission of any suggestion of protection, objection to the prosecution of or statement that he would pardon Julian Assange and Chelsea Manning.

It has been months since Tulsi Gabbard issued the statement that, if elected, she would pardon Assange and Manning.

This is notable because in his much-touted 40+ years in office, Sanders has never once made a statement in favor of whistleblowers. Until now. He is only making his statement now that the DNC is screaming to protect whistleblowers coming forward with questionable, closed-door, hidden, “classified” information against Trump.

That’s interesting because I would consider a whistleblower to be someone who releases information to the public. Maybe that’s too tight of a definition but in this case, corruption on both sides is being considered, including Biden and his son. Biden’s son is not a government official. So, why do we not get to hear this evidence? It involves billions of dollars of US taxpayer dollars which went to a literal Nazi regime in Ukraine by Biden/Obama. Versus the question of whether $400 million was withheld by Trump to the new non-Nazi administration now in place. To date, there has been no public evidence connecting the Trump funds with the investigation. The evidence is coincidental at best.
