Th cynic in me says that it won't be hard to find the altruist in a den of thieves, so it won't be long before security at ABC News ferrets out the whistleblower. Managers can tell who the idealists and purists are when it comes time for raises and promotions, so I'm sure they will have a pretty good idea of who this person is (if (s)he really exists in short order.
The kicker is if the whistleblower really does have audio of conversations between ABC News and the Harris campaign discussing the debate format without the Trump campaign participating. That would prove that ABC News was dealing from the bottom of the deck.

They already know. For that matter, if we tried really hard, we could figure it out too. I don’t know who did the redactions, but they did a crummy job. The first two characters of the witness’ first name are visible at the beginning of the affidavit. That’s why I’m guessing woman, and probably some kind of long-tenured assistant or personal secretary. Why else refer to 1996? How would they have any knowledge of what ABC was before Disney took over?
I’m hoping this is real, but wouldn’t be surprised if the witness suddenly appears and says, no, just kidding, all a big joke, haha, or right-wing smear job, or some such thing. If this is real, this person just became Edward Snowden. No place is safe, not for them, not for their family. Maybe they didn’t think of that when they started this. I’m sure it’s being made clear to them right about now.
Yes, the recordings would be enough to break this story. The problem is, the witness is probably right now being threatened by ABC and the Deep State to recant and disappear. Unless our side moved quickly and put the witness under some kind of protection, I’m sure they Deep State has them by now. Can you see Speaker Johnson moving quickly?
PJ, I was just thinking. I bet you that the bias is so widespread and rampant over there, that probably dozens and dozens of people over there knew about it.
Trump has taught that these people are 1. Evil 2. Stupid.
I bet you that this person probably wasn’t on the inside, but got the information from someone who was.
I would like to think that there are patriots everywhere, even ABC and they seethe at what has become there.
Do you think Cronkite, and Brinkley and even Rather would allow themselves to be part of this?
