House Democrats are looking to prevent the whistleblower from being identified by holding the person's testimony at a remote location and potentially changing their appearance and voice.
Democrats are going to great lengths to hide the whistleblower's identity out of fear the Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee could leak their identity, according to The Washington Post, which cited three people familiar with the discussions.
Democrats are considering holding testimony outside the Capitol as well as a staff-only session that would bar lawmakers from questioning the whistleblower, according to the Post.
Democrats are also weighing options to distort the whistleblower's appearance and voice, including through a video camera or audio-only testimony or by placing the person behind a screen, the Post reported.
These meetings could occur "within the next couple of weeks," though the date has not been decided, an official told the Post.
The whistleblower's allegations that President Trump sought to pressure Ukraine to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden led Democrats to start an impeachment inquiry.
Trump has requested to know the identity of the whistleblower and has called the person "close to a spy."
The lawyer representing the whistleblower has expressed concern for his client's safety. A second whistleblower has hired the same legal team.
T-Bone is the whistleblower. I knew it!
It is totalitarianism. Folks need to point that out.
This means that ANYONE could be “posing” as the WB.
Dems are getting more desperate and crazier every day.
If what was happening today was written up as a Hollywood Movie script years back, it would have been laughed at and rejected.
“T-Bone is the whistleblower. I knew it!”
T-Bone and Corn Pop.
Maybe we should have a completely secret impeachment.
The Democrats will tell us the results later.
Just before they all go up on the DC cherry trees.

Reminds me of Obama’s “magnanimus” promises to let us all see and discuss Obamacare - daylight policy, ya-da, ya-da, ya-da.
Flash forward to Granny Rictus (Pelosi’s) macabre smile as she said through her unmoving face, “We have to sign the bill, before you can see it!”. Then all the congress critters admitting no one read it.
I think that worked so well for Obamacare, they are trying to line up an impeachment just like it! They gonna claim they have to impeach him and remove him from office before it’s safe to tell us WHY.
The Democrats are taking this country to a place we’ve never been before. Republicans had better get in lock-step and put a F’ing end to this!
They’re going full on dictatorship.
What will stop them?
In other words, this person may not exist. They may have made him/her/it up.
“We’re protecting him/her/it from Republican assassins; it would put his/her/its life in danger to divulge his/her/its” identity!” < /RAT projection >
Sources leaked that he talked to one of them BEFORE he should have.
But you’re right. IT could all be lies.
Nothing says police state like secret trials by secret accusers in secret locations.
lol that will only make it look even worse for them
Because Democrats are no longer Americans.
They want to hide behind some parts of the Constitution until they can bring it all down, and replace it with a Socialist state, with a few select Party leaders as government "advisors".
Can the Republicans do something to stop this?
Even go to court, that’s what the Dems do, when they don’t like something.
I want to know just how many people they are going to listen to telling them about one phone call. If it’s 2 or 5 or 10, are they going to get that many different interpretations of what they heard? I don’t get it!
My guess is the whistleblower is the Wizard of Oz.
“Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. Thr Great and Powerful Oz has spoken.”
Well, wonderful. Anyone can say anything with no accountability that way.
To id the blower, just get a list of Brennan’s favorites at CIA.
Democrats are also notoriously BAD at keeping information secret, as their past performances have indicated. What makes anybody think that the identity of the “whistle-blower” won’t be compromised by some junior member of the Democrat entourage, and he (or she) gets outed anyway?
Democrats play this intrigue and spy stuff so ham-handedly, it is a surprise they can find their own butts with both hands.
