Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) is warning top intelligence community officials that President Trump could expose a whistleblower at the center of the House impeachment inquiry.
Schumer sent a letter to Acting Director of National Intelligence Joseph Maguire and Inspector General Michael Atkinson on Monday saying he's "concerned" Trump might disclose the individual's identity and wants to know what steps are being taken to protect the person.
"In light of the President’s ill-advised statements, his lack of respect for the rule of law and his well-documented habit of condoning violence by his supporters, I am concerned that he may disclose the whistleblower’s identity or cause it to be disclosed by others in the Administration," Schumer wrote in the letter.
Trump and his allies have repeatedly lashed out at the whistleblower, who filed a complaint tied to Trump pushing the Ukraine government to investigate the Bidens and the administration's decision to delay aid to the country.
Schumer's letter, which was first reported by Politico, comes shortly after Trump used a Cabinet meeting to double down on his demand that the whistleblower be publicly identified.

I’d say the whislteblower now wants to come out cuz he didn’t know the whole game proposed by Schitt.
A couple of points:
1. The whistleblower has no legal right to anonymity. I could be wrong about this but I don't think I am.
2. The whistleblower would be at risk for his life if he is exposed. But not from Trump or Trump supports. We want him to testify. The threat is from the other side and they don't pull their punches. Death within 24 hours by suicide would hardly be a surprise.
What “well documented habit of condoning violence by his supporters”?
Identified as highly likely but, AFAIK, not yet confirmed. I think he is the guy but there is no certainty.
Just out of curiosity. If Trump already knows the the whistleblower is. From whom does he need protection? This is all so dumb
It’s just more BS the so called Whistleblower is irrelevant since Trump released the transcript it’s like that never happened.
Everyone knows it is Eric Ciaramello.
Sheesh. Big secret... NOT.
There is no”whistleblower”...period! It’s a fiction until proven otherwise.
What planet is this congenital lying creep from?????
He / She / It is a SPY, not a Whistleblower.
Apparently nothing the SPY reported is true, so He, She, It is also a lying SPY.
Let’s hope so.
Probably a her.
The leaker of Trump's call was not operating within the parameters of "rule of law," neither was ICIG Atkinson. See "rule of law" laid down by DOJ on this exact subject.
DOJ OLC Slip Opinion Sept 3, 2019
Anti-retaliation and anonymity protections exist in "rule of law," but the protectee has to have followed "rule of law" in the first place, to get those protections.
See too, Pelosi and "rule of law" respecting impeachment.
The DEMS are out of legal boundaries, they know they are out of legal boundaries, and they laugh while they and the press gaslight away. Who is the fools? They are getting paid for this.
Sometimes when the OBVIOUS is right in front of people's faces they don't even see the obvious.
Time to COMPARE Schiff's other writings with the whistleblower's complaint. I'll bet they're one the same.
“...his lack of respect for the rule of law ...”
According to the rule of Law the “whistleblower” isn’t and can’t be a whistleblower. Conversations between POTUS and foreign leaders do not occur within the purview of the DNI or anybody else.
You spelled his last name wrong, it’s Eric CIARAMELLA.
Democrats are consistent. I’ll give them that. They ALWAYS accuse their opponents of exactly what they themselves are doing.
Her identity was common knowledge in the elite DC cocktail party crowd, but that didn't stop a massive witch hunt, a Special Prosecutor, and the persecution, conviction and jailing of Scooter Libby for "process crimes".
Folks might be able to figure it out on their own based on facts that are in the public, but the reason those who know are not talking is Scooter Libby.
The democrats are continuously outplaying the Republican. They have the field all to themselves. The Republicans are not even on the field.
“In light of the President’s ill-advised statements, his lack of respect for the rule of law and his well-documented habit of condoning violence by his supporters,”
Bunch of lies.
