Let's put this in perspective. Say I hear from your friend that you stole a million bucks from a bank. I take this to the police, they corroborate, and arrest you.

The rules for the comgressional subpoena power are different than the rules of evidence in a court room.
Congress wrote whistleblowing rules long ago not for the purpose of criminal court rooms but instead to provide information to exercise its article 1 consitutionial prerogatives.
