hallmarks of democratic practice is repetition of exposing human sins of self-corruption: tyrant, of pride, abusive, selfish, most to the weak (no money, no power, no status). It rooted in the public aware of their own right in the process of democratic practice: Voice your own voice in whatever way you can - no matter how small your voice is (e.g., whistle-blowers) - "see something, say something" - the exercise of mass movement.
That's the angle I saw in this process. In the process, I got some facts: 1) 60 millions voted for DJT; 2) Intention or motif counts (but, who got the say?); 3) hard to change your position? do it anyway, hoping when facts pile up high enough to loose up somewhere. Seat tight, keep your eyes open, watch the proceeding, and the truth will surface...[民主实践的标志是反复暴露人类的腐败行为：暴君，傲慢，侮辱，自私，大多数人为弱者（没有金钱，没有权力，没有地位）。 它植根于公众在民主实践过程中意识到自己的权利的地方：以任何方式表达自己的声音-不管声音多么小-“看到某事，说些什么”-群众运动。 这就是我在此过程中看到的角度。 在此过程中，我得到了一些事实：1）6000万投票支持DJT； 2）意图或主题计数（但是，谁说了这句话？）； 3）很难改变你的立场？ 无论如何都要这样做，希望当事实堆积到足以使某处松散的时候。 坐好，睁开双眼，观察进展，事实就会浮出水面……]

During an impeachment hearing, a Republican congressman spoke aloud the name of a man thought to be the famed Ukraine whistle-blower
In an open impeachment hearing Wednesday night, a Republican member of Congress spoke the name of a man widely thought to be the whistle-blower whose complaint about Donald Trump's famous phone call with Ukraine's president sparked this fall's impeachment saga.
Texas Rep. Louie Gohmert was complaining during a hearing about two articles of impeachment that Democrats have blocked attempts to call fact witnesses who didn't support their arguments.
Gohmert called 'abuse of power [and] obstruction of Congress the very things the majority has done in preventing us from having the witnesses that could shed light on this.'
'We needed to hear from those witnesses, people like Sean Misko, Abigail Grace, [name redacted], Devin Archer, Joe Biden, Nellie Ohr, Alexandra Chalupa and so many others,' he said.
DailyMail.com has not published the name of the man, who is a Russia and Eurasia expert for the CIA, tasked to the National Intelligence Council and reporting to the director of national intelligence.
