The House Intelligence Committee and lawyers for the whistleblower who filed a complaint about President Donald Trump's conduct are discussing extreme measures to protect the individual's identity amid growing concerns about his or her safety, according to several sources familiar with the process.
It is still unclear when the whistleblower might ultimately talk with the committee. But talks are underway looking at several options to attempt to prevent the whistleblower from being identified or having his or her name leaked to the press.
Among the measures being discussed are the possibility of using an off-site location, limiting Hill staff and members who would be present and even disguising the individual's image and voice, the sources said. Any secure facility, known as a SCIF, could be used for the meeting, potentially the facilities located at Langley or Ft. Meade.
There are also ways to bring the whistleblower up to Capitol Hill without being seen by the press, including what one source described as the "Petraeus treatment," referring to the former CIA Director and commander of US Central Command, David Petraeus' private testimony from years back.
An aide to one Democratic member on the House Intelligence committee told CNN that discussions about masking the whistleblower's voice and face have been prompted by concerns that Republicans could leak the individuals identity to the Trump administration or the press.

I keep seeing this.
Can somebody tell me what the justification is for these "growing concerns" about safety?
Does the country have a history of assassinating government witnesses?
Do the Republicans have a history of assassinating government witnesses?
Does President Trump have a history of even roughing up somebody?
Or are the Democrats projecting again (*cough* Mark *cough* Rich *cough* Andrew *cough* Breitbart *cough*) ?

CNN is nuts. Will buy a ticket to see these Nazis hanged for treason.
The best way to do that is to make the person's ID public.
If anything happens to them then criminal complaints can be taken.
What a public service that would be. All kinds of crimes could be prevented by doing so.
/showing flaws in some idiot's thinking
How convenient. SCIFs in the belly of the Deep State beast - CIA and NSA respectively.
But there is no Deep State so any concerns are silly - right Fake News?

“testimony” and kangaroo court trials being so very very American, after all

Theyre gonna have to get her a better looking bag than that...
Damn!... ..
Either there is no whisteblower or this person was not in a position to know what is claimed, i.e. Schitt drafted the document.
She needs a bag on her head permanently, preferably tied around the neck. What a butt-ugly b**ch - inside and out.

yup...
Hilarious.
They are going to FEIGN to conduct impeachment hearings based on secret testimony from an anonymous source citing hearsay evidence.
Yes sir, a farce it is.
Sorry about the double posts. The “post” key isn’t working right.
This will be the only piece of classified information Pencil Neck Schiff has ever not leaked to the press.
My bet is, he can’t keep this secret, either.
“...amid growing concerns about his or her safety,”
This swamp government needs a purge of a massive bloody scale;keep the system flush the people.
Wow. Enlarge the picture and look in her eyes. She resembles a dementia patient. No one home!
