Why is hearsay allowed for "whistleblowing" and "impeachment" but not in any court in America?

    If that is the case, the President Trump will be removed from office. God wins....if not the we see that ICIG is not working on God's behalf.

    Invalid syllogism and conclusion.

    The Senate members still have the free will that God grants and Satan rejoices in.

    (Did you see the picture of Senator Lindsey Graham that Steve Colbert had on his show the other night?---It showed Graham's reaction when Graham discovered what Satan actually offered to pay Graham for his worthless soul.)

    Of course I am not God. I have never claimed anything of the sort.

    Tell you what, M2C, keep on repeating that and watch how much difference it makes to anyone.

    You haven‘t learned a blessed thing.

    The only requirement that a whistleblower needs is to have seen or heard something that he thinks should be investigated by someone in charge.

    There is absolutely no requirement that it not be hearsay.

    A whistleblower (also written as whistle-blower or whistle blower) is a person who exposes any kind of information or activity that is deemed illegal, unethical, or not correct within an organization that is either private or public.

    Then the topic itself must be judged as inappropriate.  It's like asking why grapes can be green, black, etc., when they are ripe, but bananas are yellow when ripe.

    No...the question was about in general why was hearsay being allowed in a whistleblower report.

    It doesn't happen all that frequently; but when I don't understand something, I usually say so because, well, it's just easier in the long run..

    I think there is the possibility that the distance between reach and grasp approaches infinity.

    Indeed. Particularly when they are extending in opposite directions, at different speeds, and the latter is completely oblivious to the former.

    Tripp had taped recording of Monica talking about Clinton's abuse of power (affair with an unpaid intern). As long as the taping legal (DC has the one party consent law when it comes to recording) and the voice can be proven to be the person claimed....then it is not considered hearsay. So as soon as it was proven it was Monica's voice on the tape....it became real evidence and not hearsay. This post was edited by my2cents at October 31, 2019 8:09 PM MDT

    Because neither impeachment nor whistleblowing involve any kind of court---a whistleblower has the same rights as any other person to state what he heard, and those empowered to investigate the accusations made by the whistleblower are also free to do so.  

    If the Senate winds up holding a conviction "trial," then Trump will have the typical rights a defendant has "in any court in America."

    And simply put, impeachment does not have to be for a crime.

    And Hamilton made it clear that an impeachable (in and by the House) or convictable (conviction and removal from office by the Senate) offense need not be a crime.

    Hamilton said impeachment applied to 'the misconduct of public men.'
