"Donald Trump, Jr. and others’ enthusiastic efforts to expose the anonymous impeachment whistleblowers are felonies under relevant whistleblower laws, and the President has liability for launching their campaign through his own demands. While commentators are right that the whistleblower cannot file a retaliation lawsuit, that does not make this campaign legal. Based on federal law, whistleblower retaliation should be another Article of Impeachment. Obstructing a congressional investigation is a felony. 18 USC 1505 has been on the books since 1948. It makes it a felony with five year’s imprisonment to engage in communications that “endeavor to influence, obstruct, or impede” any “any inquiry or investigation is being had by either House, or any committee of either House or any joint committee of the Congress.”
Exposing the anonymous whistleblower violates this law by trying to influence, obstruct, and impede a congressional investigation."
