Attorneys for the whistleblower who triggered impeachment proceedings against President Trump see the three-decade "Deep Throat" mystery as a model for keeping his identity secret.
The secret of "Deep Throat" was kept from the early '70s until 2005, when former FBI associate director Mark Felt came forward at 91 years old. He died two years later.
Whistleblower attorney Mark Zaid, an aficionado of Watergate history, said leaving his client's identity unresolved indefinitely would encourage future whistleblowers. “Our ideal ending is that the identity of the whistleblower is never known and the individual continues on with their personal and professional life as if nothing ever happened," he told the Washington Examiner. "That is the best outcome for most whistleblowers, who simply fulfilled their constitutional duty by reporting a reasonable belief of wrongdoing," he said.
Felt was a prime suspect from the beginning. Eight days before President Richard Nixon resigned in 1974, Washingtonian magazine named him as the probable leaker, though Felt denied it.

What’s the saying? The horse is out of the barn?
Out the Scum NOW ,don’t leave it spying
They are desperate to hide his name.
NO FREAKING WAY !!
There is no whistle blower for the simple reason there is no whistle.
The whistleblower gambit is a hoax.
I Felt a disturbance in the Farce.
We need to force his name into the public eye.
Anywhere there is a live TV broadcast flash his name.
Hold up signs, paint it on your belly. Hire planes
to tow it across the sky on banners.
“What’s the saying? The horse is out of the barn?”
>>>>>>>>>>
That’s a new one for me. Where I grew up, we always said, “The Ciaramelli is out of the barn.”
This isn’t “Deep Throat.” That horse has already fled the barn.
Not anymore it was just revealed today.
That's only because President Nixon resigned.
If it went to trial, the Constitutional right to confront one's accuser would have forced him out.

Was Felt a “whistleblower”? I thought he was the guy now referred to by the reporters as someone “ knowledgeable of someone’s thinking.”
Making your way in the world today
Takes everything you got
Taking a break from all your worries
It sure would help a lot
Wouldn’t you like to get away?
Sometimes you want to go
Where everybody knows your name
And they’re always glad you came
You want to be where you can see
The troubles are all the same
You want to be where everybody knows your name
Everybody that matters knows his name
well, since there’s no evidence of any wrongdoing
and since an anonymous allegation with no name nor witness to back it up.. cannot result in anything
if the lawyer wants to risk trying to keep his name secret, so be it
he’s irrelevant and so is any secret client he may be hiding
Deep Throat was sentenced to prison for using the FBI to spy on the Weathermen terrorist group.
Ah, delusions of grandeur danced in his head!
< buzzer sound >
Oops, too late...
I think the toothpaste is out of the barn ...
