#1 Democrats Decline to Put ‘Whistleblower’ Dr. Rick Bright Under Oath

Now why would they do that?

#2 Bright's complaint at Scribd: He checked the first two boxes: (1) Prohibited personnel practice such as retaliation, discrimination, illegal hiring decisions and (2) Disclosure about gross mismanagement or waste, a violation of law, rule or regulation, abuse of authority, a danger(s) to public health or safety, or censorship related to scientific research.

I've had plenty of complaints about govmint mismanagement. Do you have to work for the govmint to complain and get heard?

ScienceFare used to go after Trump...again? This DS $hit is getting tiresome.

#3 Deep State mole stayed undercover all this time until his masters activated him.

This was the lead story on CBS Evening News last night. Nora Roberts was breathless about how this weasel's testimony was so "explosive" in Congress. But it's really just another bombshell that fizzled.

#4 I should say Nora O'Donnell. Forgive me if I don't think enough about her to get her name right. I watched her last night for just long enough to see her talk about this new whistleblower and then I took my beverage out to the patio.

#5 Townhall:

Rep. Richard Hudson (R-NC) said he believes whistleblowers should be respected and heard, but he perceived Thursday's hearing as an attempt to undermine the Trump administration. When Oklahoma congressman Markwayne Mullin got the mic, he turned the hearing into a discussion about Bright's paycheck. Dr. Bright, who recently got a job at the National Institutes of Health, is currently on sick leave for hypertension. He explained that it's been a "stressful" transition having been removed from his role without explanation.

Yet, as Rep. Mullin pointed out, Bright is still getting paid by the NIH. Rep. Mulllin wondered why he was here testifying before Congress if he was dealing with the ailment?

"I guess I'm kind of confused because you say you have hypertension but yet you were able to do these interviews, you're able to make the report, and you're able to prepare for this hearing," Mullin noted. "Yet you're too sick to go into work but you're well enough to come here while you're still getting paid from the U.S. government."
