He honored his country by coming forward, we wouldn't have got the impeachment without him. The least we can do for him would be not to repeat his name.

at the moment, due to all the threats he's getting. Trump and all his deplorables blame him and him alone for the events of the last couple months, which is absurd, since 12 other witnesses have came forward and testified.

Dems and all MSM even FOX, minus one rogue weekend host, have respected the Whistleblowers wishes. And he still is getting so many death threats, that he has a 24 hr security detail. I have even seen where they have considered witness protection. Even though 12 other witnesses come forward and testified, Trump and his supporters blame only him, for everything.

Add "violate federal law by broadcasting the name of an alleged whistleblower" to the next article of impeachment.

It's a classic case of closing the barn doors after all the animals have escaped. What the heck is this supposed to accomplish? This idea that the original whistleblower complaint, if false, somehow negates every bit of the subsequent testimony that followed is just nuts! Trump's nuts, but that everything that followed the complaint becomes invalid is just whack-a-doodle nonsense.
