Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) said Sunday that the Trump administration officials who provided information to the anonymous whistleblower about the president’s efforts to pressure Ukraine “exposed things that didn’t need to be exposed.”

“This would have been far better off if we would’ve just taken care of this behind the scenes,” Johnson said in an interview on NBC News’s “Meet the Press.” “We have two branches of government. Most people, most people wanted to support Ukraine. We were trying to convince President Trump.”

Johnson’s comments come days after the first public hearings in the impeachment inquiry. Democrats are seeking to prove that Trump leveraged military assistance and an Oval Office meeting in exchange for investigations into former vice president Joe Biden and a debunked theory concerning purported Ukrainian interference in the 2016 presidential election.

Yes Senator, behind closed doors with all the other dirty laundry.
 
I say we keep as much in the open as proceedings allow. Thems the rules. Elections have consequences.

Yeah we could keep the dirty Whistleblower secret too. Transparency is a good thing.
What makes you think they're dirty? What crimes are they being accused of and in what court of law?

What is it that makes the Whistleblower "dirty"? His patriotism? His loyalty to his country and the constitution over that of a wannabe despot president?
