Would you whistle blow on Trump?

Absolutely. I leaked an internal memo of my former company.

I have done such things under the protection of God, so no harm came to me over it. However I’m not sure I would do it without such protection granted, Trump can make someone’s life plenty miserable, plus it’s God’s purpose that prevails, so I’d rather move in that then on my own.

The pain that comes from doing the right thing in opposition to wicked, powerful people, can often be ameliorated down the line. There are still people in position to help the little guy who is known to be a person of character.

But I truly understand those that advocate the opposite. It’s hard to be optimistic with the reality of the nation’s worst people in positions of the most power right now. That’s what assholes like the people in this administration count on.

Yes, one of the reasons. Another of the reasons was because the only other candidate was perceived as
'the same" in terms of honesty and integrity.

It’s literally a legal responsibility to report wrongdoing. If a person can’t do that, they have no business working in government.

Only by those with absolutely no sense of perspective.

Yes. Without hesitation. Whatever the fallout.

I’m trying to give politically neutral responses to an OP that singles out a single office-holder who is presumed guilty.

What if you supported and campaigned for a candidate because of a certain issue, and when elected he did something indictable in the furtherance of that cause. Same balonney about civic duty?

Let’s ask another question. If you supervised a person who blew the whistle on Trump, what would you do in the face of pressure from his administration?

That would depend on the Issue in question (Round up the brown people? Build a border wall? Occupy the moon? Mobilize a national work force to upgrade & repair infrastructure? Root out corrupt political networks in the government?) Can you put some details on your example to make it more clear?

Hang my head in shame because that person came to me first and I didn’t do anything?

Dup

I sincerely admire you, but I don’t think I would live up to your standard. Fortunately, I have never been in that situation.

OK, your city Councillor; that you campaigned for, pushes through an expansion of the community college, which you support, but his wife’s cousin, a contractor, happens to be well-placed to bid on it, thanks to a leak.
