For a town that leaks like a sieve, Washington has done an astonishingly effective job keeping from the American public the name of the anonymous “whistleblower" who triggered impeachment proceedings against President Trump — even though his identity is an open secret inside the Beltway.

More than two months after the official filed his complaint, pretty much all that’s known publicly about him is that he is a CIA analyst who at one point was detailed to the White House and is now back working at the CIA.

It’s funny how everybody seems to know the name and identity of this guy, and yet it’s still not out there. Pretty amazing, that for this long of time, when everyone knows this name it still remains elusive to the general public.
