BS Ninety former national security officials penned an open letter Sunday to the public defending the whistleblower in the Trump-Ukraine scandal, stressing the importance of protecting the person and their identity. The letter is signed by ex-national security officials who served under both Democratic and Republican presidents, including President Donald Trump himself, the Wall Street Journal first reported. The whistleblower’s identity has remained anonymous, though it’s been revealed that the person came from the U.S. government’s intelligence community.

The Founders Would Have Impeached Trump for His Ukraine-Related Misconduct The founders could not have been clearer: There should be no undue foreign influence in the internal affairs of the United States, especially in elections. And certainly, no president should be inviting it, especially for his personal gain. Through the Constitution, the Federalist Papers, and other writings and debates, the founders attempted to erect a solid framework—and a clear expectation—that would prevent this sort of corruption and abuse of power. That framework and those norms worked fairly well for most of the past 232 years. But Donald Trump has flagrantly violated the principles set forth by the founders and enshrined in the Constitution. By pressuring Ukraine to interfere in the 2020 election on his behalf, Trump has damaged our national sovereignty and sought to corrupt our election process. Aside from trampling on constitutional principles and deeply held norms, President Trump has run roughshod over federal law. Applicable statutes passed by Congress prohibit any candidate from soliciting or receiving anything of value from a foreign entity, including opposition research on a political opponent.
