How can the Intel Committee keep the whistleblower's identity if he testifies?

Isn't Devin Nunes on that Committee?

Does anyone think he would not tell Trump his identity?

Although they would probably meet with the whistleblower somewhere besides the Capitol Building?

Maybe they can give him a wig and fake beard?

Outing him will be for intimidation purposes, not to discredit him.

I have no doubt the Trump lawyers are working on acquiring dirt on any number of suspects.

There can't be that many Ukraine-expert CIA attaches who've been assigned to the WH in the last year.

Not to mention WH staff that supplied them with info.

They'll all be dragged through the mire before this is done.

having the WB sit behind a curtain and have their voice disguised as they speak. I'd prefer being in a remote location, myself... the Press would most likely be camped out and waiting all around the building.

It's a charade by him to say he does not, so he can attack him as a mystery partisan instead of the more likely normal CIA staffer.

will be the public, and that only for a while. No doubt he or she has already been identified in the White House. There are only so many CIA analysts who have worked there in the time period in question.

Trump knows who it is. They all do.
