If they think spilling the name of the whistleblower's name is smart?

They are totally out if the little minds! DJT Jr. has tweeted out a supposed name. What happens if they are wrong and that person is hurt in way or is killed? Than what will they say, it was "FAKE NEWS"? This shit needs to stop before someone hurt or killed!

How did DJT Jr get the name? Since DJTJ is not a government official, he should not have access. Midnight Writer Nov 2019 #3

Hopefully, a lawsuit will be coming his way that may provide answers.

In the meantime, looks like more work for Congressional investigators.

This also puts the lie to President Trump's demand that the whistleblower be "identified". If Junior knows who it is, everybody knows.

The entire purpose of this is to scare other potential whistleblowers into clamming up. Whether the person named (who will, presumably, be subjected to lots of harassment at best and lethal violence at worst) is the right one is utterly irrelevant. If it helps protect 45, even the death of a completely uninvolved person will be shrugged-off as “collateral damage.”
