  24.  @darkohanzo3075  I think you are in better shape than most of the people in the comments but two things I saw off the bet that needed clearing up : The House did not have a trial, they had an investigation. It isn't normal to invite the accused into closed door sessions of an investigation. He (or his lawyers) were invited to the open Inquiry. So that's a point you can drop. As far as the whistleblower goes : we have laws about the protection of whistleblower's identities for a reason. As a thought experiment, say you've been at the same job for 10 years and you plan on keeping that job until retirement. Your old boss steps down and a new boss steps in. You catch wind of the boss doing some shady things that you can't prove but have good reason to believe your coworkers who reported it to you. The new boss has a mobster like mentality about personal loyalty to himself but also has a proven track record of turning on people and throwing them to the wolves in rather vindictive fashion when they can no longer benefit him. You are too old or simply unwilling to relinquish your career just because the new boss is an asshole. So you report what you've heard to the head of HR under condition of anonymity and he passes it along to others to investigate. The Boss hears about the report and the investigation and has a tantrum. The first thing he does is demand the identify of the "rat" and his surrogates pick up the call for him. Now everyone wants a piece of you because you turned on the boss. My phone battery is dying so I'm going to have to cut it short but I hope you see the point. If there weren't protections for whistleblowers there wouldn't be any whistleblowers because of fear of retribution. Not to mention that when the subsequent investigation corrobrates the details of your report with multiple witnesses and the boss has been caught you would have no skin left in the game. You reported what you heard and the investigation proved it correct. You yourself aren't a fact witness, you only reported what you heard to HR. Am I making sense?
