Attorneys for the whistleblower who triggered impeachment proceedings against President Trump see the three-decade "Deep Throat" mystery as a model for keeping his identity secret.
The secret of "Deep Throat" was kept from the early '70s until 2005, when former FBI associate director Mark Felt came forward at 91 years old. He died two years later.
Whistleblower attorney Mark Zaid, an aficionado of Watergate history, said leaving his client's identity unresolved indefinitely would encourage future whistleblowers. Our ideal ending is that the identity of the whistleblower is never known and the individual continues on with their personal and professional life as if nothing ever happened," he told the Washington Examiner. "That is the best outcome for most whistleblowers, who simply fulfilled their constitutional duty by reporting a reasonable belief of wrongdoing," he said.
Felt was a prime suspect from the beginning. Eight days before President Richard Nixon resigned in 1974, Washingtonian magazine named him as the probable leaker, though Felt denied it.

Idiots.
I really wonder if the Dems have really thought this through all the way.
Any scenario that I can come up with is bad for them ranging from bad to extremely, very, no good, permanently bad.
so he will be indicted and tried and convicted as john doe?
Is he living in a cave.
subpoena Eric Criminella and ask him under oath, under penalty of perjury, are you the whistleblower?
Would be funny if someone hacked the CNN website and displayed ERIC CIARAMELLA in large font.
The HUGE difference here is that Deep Throat was an actual mystery and closely-held for all those years.
Eric Ciamarella’s name is already very widely known.
For a leftist Shister, Said is really dumb. Guess He never heard of congressional subpoenas. If the whistleblower investigation turns into a criminal one, grand jury subpoenas for Zaid and his politically and possibly ethically corrupt law firm are in order. Name the whistleblower or go to jail. And there are other legal ways to get/find them. Guess Herr Said never heard of investigative journalists. Well bend over Herr Said, they are probing everything about you and your operations, staff, clients and possible foreign contacts hostile to the US.
Wish some rich folks would start putting up bill boards with just his name- nothing more. Make it visible all over the USA on major highways.
Leftist shisters blowing astral gas out their collective asses.
Worst kept secret in DC since the Foster Suicide...
Good idea, if a billboard company would do it.
You sure don’t have to be with the CIA to find his name. Even if the articles don’t name him they will say who did and where that story is.
This, as Eric Ciaramella ponders what his life will look like during those decades.
I dont think theres a witness protection program anywhere that could hide him successfully.
Sixth amendment to the Constitution. The right to face your accuser. Nancy better drop this thing or it’s out.
So Schiff’s star whistlblower was all of 15 when Atta flew the airliner into the World Trade Center..
Eric Ciaramella,there fixed it
