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.

My feeling is that if this WB was a person...he/she would have been exposed by now.
Something is NOT RIGHT here.
Too bad the left hate the Constitution (6th Amendment), the Bible (Acts 25:16) , Roman law (Calumnia) and other ancient to traditional jurisprudences.
What a horrible precedence they set with their new Deep State Rules.
The only way this person wont be safe is if they testify against a Democrat.
Perhaps the Blower and the other Democrats all could dress as Roman slaves and call themselves Spartacus.
Starting to wonder if this is an actual individual or just the leftists playing out their fantasy..
For those who are saying there is no whistle blower I think you may be right. And that is what Trump should say to force their hand... “They are bluffing... I don’t think there even is a whistle blower”.
My question would be, what are they doing behind our backs while we are all watching this dog and pony show?
OMG HILARIOUS!!!!!
This is HILARIOUS can you photoshop a whistle in their mouths???
But after Trump pulled the rug out from under them by releasing the actual transcript of the call, whatever the second WB says is worthless because they could have read the transcript already.
It's no longer a WB situation if everyone already knows what's in the phone call.
And we all know these are not "real" WB anyway. The democRATS are so obvious in their childish games that anybody with any intelligence knows these people are props just to use to get at Trump.
They are the same liars that tried to take down Kavanaugh. Their most recent effort with a fabricated witness against Kavanaugh collapsed almost as soon as it was paraded out. The witness didn't remember a thing and didn't want to talk about it. And then immediately disappeared, another democRAT ploy failed.
Somebody in authority, needs to clamp back down on the WB rules so that all of this hearsay, gossip and rumors and not allowed, just as they have never been allowed. The WB rules were conveniently changed in August to accommodate this latest Ukraine phone call skullduggery by the Left.
Remember, CNN is now ATT
Is this man exempt from any penalties for any crime he commits now that he is a whistleblower?
What about our Constitutional right to confront accusers in a court of law?
Yep, I just know that the people who wrote the whistleblower law desired a whistleblower to be exalted above all other law. Well, maybe Senator Grassley does.
Host interview at Starbucks
The whistleblower law/act was made not to protect him/her/it from injury but to protect his job. That means he's still at work and unless he/she/it is an exceptional actor, everyone in the whole damn place knows who it is.
I'm betting that Taylor is one part of this conspiracy. He was trying to get Volker to say there was quid pro quo....and Volker told him to take a hike....AFTER telling Taylor that he was dead wrong.
“...so they won’t be able to see Brennan’s face, I suppose. What a farce!...”
Exactly. And the 2nd “blower” is probably “shite shifty” himself...LOL
My mind just went blank. Who is Taylor?
I’m too tired....but google Taylor Volker conversation...and you might find it.
I suspect someone offered the info to Schiff who sensed opportunity and promoted him to WB status. (we'll protect you)
The "WB" soon learned he'd become celeb #1 and under heavy scrutiny and has backed out.
Thus, enters WB #2. Why else would it be necessary for a backup WB when all the evidence (the transcript) is already known ? It wouldn't be prudent for a WB to recant, now would it.
Sex change operation would be the most efficient measure
None of this is true. There are no concerns about the “whistleblower’s” safety. There is no reason to be worried. Like the Ukraine quid pro quo story itself, this is sheer fantasy intended to make people think there’s more going on here than there really is.
Disinformatzia, in the old style.
