It's further proof that Republicans have zero principles.

Party over country
Party over family
Party over everything

Note that the whistleblower complaint involves a series of "multiple acts" according to the IC Inspector General, rather than just one phonecall. He tried to press Zelensky 8 times in just that one phonecall. Also, the WSJ report's claim that Trump didn't mention the military aid is single-sourced.

Judge orders President Trump to testify in 2015 lawsuit
A New York City judge ordered that President Trump give testimony in a lawsuit brought by protesters who say they were assaulted by Trump’s security during the 2016 campaign.

In a court filing Friday, the judge ordered that Trump sit for a videotaped deposition and provide testimony that can be used at trial in the case.

Supreme Court Judge Doris M. Gonzalez of the Bronx wrote that Trump’s testimony is “indispensable” to the case, in which the men are arguing that the Trump Organization and Trump himself should be held liable for the actions of security guards who were working for the company.

The underlying lawsuit was brought in 2015 by a group of men who alleged that they were roughed up by security guards working for Trump while protesting the then-presidential candidate’s views on immigration on a public sidewalk outside Trump Tower in New York.

The men, who are of Mexican origin, carried signs and at one point wore Ku Klux Klan outfits during a small protest in August 2015, two months after Trump declared his candidacy.

They allege Trump’s security guards shoved and pushed them, grabbed their signs and ripped them, according to the suit. In a moment caught in news footage at the time, one of the men alleges Trump security officer Keith Schiller struck him with a closed fist and another guard placed his hands around his neck and attempted to choke him.

Gonzalez rejected arguments from Trump’s attorneys that his testimony is not needed for the case because he was not present during the protest and because the president should be prevented from having to be deposed in such similar matters.

“No government official, including the Executive, is above the law,” she wrote.

To be fair, the fascism and corruption have already been pretty blatantly out in the open.

House GOP Minority leader McCarthy is blatantly lying to attack the whistleblower and protect the president.
The whistleblower could only have gone to Congress if the IC Inspector General determined the complaint was not credible. If he/she were to go to Congress, the DOJ could and presumably would prosecute.

"The DNI also takes seriously his obligation to protect whistleblowers from retaliation and pledges to continue to do so."
The person's identity isn't even public yet and he/she is already facing baseless smears from the president and his lackeys.

You do realize that this was his guilt speaking, right?!
White america, actually, white people all around the world are becoming aware of what they've allowed to happen under their watch. Yes, some are not guilty. However, those who live through willful ignorance?

They have a problem, a BIIIIIIIIIIIIG problem on their hands.
