Well, this is embarrassing. . .
Rep. Eric Swalwell wants to jail people who “out a whistleblower”:
In the future, you will go to jail if you out a whistleblower. Legislation coming.

Well, would that apply to Rep. Adam Schiff? Because the transcript of Amb. William Taylor’s testimony in the Dem-lead impeachment inquiry did not redact the name of the alleged whistleblower, Eric Ciaramella:
Dear Media,
Please do not look at Pg. 236 of the Amb. William Taylor Testimony Transcript.

And as Benny Johnson points out, this either means he’s not the whistleblower or that House Dems “messed up BIG TIME”:
Um – why is Eric Ciaramella's name in the congressional Impeachment testimony?
Dems said they would redact the name of the "whistleblower."
2 explanations:
1. Ciaramella is not the whistleblower
2. Dems messed up BIG TIME & printed the name of the leaker in their own document pic.twitter.com/YrvUIwbt3y

Question for Mark Zaid, the whistleblower’s attorney: Are there any “negative repercussions for all #WBers going forward” because of this apparent oversight by House Dems?
Clearly @RandPaul is not a fan of #whistleblowers. This will have negative repercussions for all #WBers going forward, including in future Democrat Administrations.#ProtectTheWhistleblower https://t.co/fSyCnqEeaZ
