Whistleblowers walk among us. Now one has gotten in Trump's head.
The whistleblower is a tall man, about 6-foot-4, and only a few years out of graduate school. Maybe. Or maybe the whistleblower is a woman, a longtime analyst close to retirement. The whistleblower is a Democrat. Maybe. Or maybe the whistleblower is a Republican who voted for Donald Trump. Regardless, the president would very much like to know the identity of the whistleblower.
“Who’s the whistleblower?” Trump said at his Oct. 17 rally in Dallas. “Who’s the whistleblower? Who is the whistleblower? We have to know.”
We know plenty already, about what matters. In August a member of the intelligence community relayed an “urgent concern” to relevant authorities: In dealings with Ukraine, that person said, President Trump is using the power of his office to “advance his personal interests” and “solicit interference from a foreign country in the 2020 U.S. election.”
The whistleblower has gotten into the president’s head. In a Cabinet meeting Monday, Trump referenced whistleblowers 15 times. “You know, these whistleblowers, they have them like they’re angels, okay?” he said.
