Fox News contributor and Federalist senior editor said the alleged whistleblower’s name on air this morning, arguing that it’s time to start reporting on his identity:
And just like that, @MZHemingway just said #EricCiaramella’s name on air.
He is the #Whistleblower.
It’s about damn time.

Hemingway correctly noted that it was the New York Times who basically outed this individual when the paper identified the whistleblower as a CIA employee working in the White House (sitck around until the end for the reaction from the panel):
Way to go Mollie Hemingway! Finally someone mentions whistleleaker name. @MZHemingway @FoxNews @realDonaldTrump @DonaldJTrumpJr pic.twitter.com/f5dRavrh4K

According to CNN, Fox News hosts and personalities were told not to identify the whistleblower:
Fox News hosts and personalities have been instructed over the last several days not to identify the whistleblower whose complaint sparked an impeachment probe against President Trump, people familiar with the matter told CNN Business.
Several hosts and commentators on the network who have been supportive of President Trump seem to want to name the person they believe to be the whistleblower, but Fox’s guidelines have said not to do so.
His name is already out there and maybe the media should stop pretending it’s not:
Good for Mollie. She detailed a published report from Real Clear Investigations that named Eric Ciaramella is the likely whistleblower. https://t.co/EF13uS0gTZ

The world didn’t end, everyone:
FINALLY….. Mollie says whistleblower Eric Ciaramella name on live tv and Philippe Reines almost faints??? https://t.co/J45m2olXj4

And as we told you last week, Chairman Adam Schiff himself failed to redact Ciaramella’s name from an official transcript, so maybe dial back the outrage directed at Hemingway:
The performative hysteria from many in media about the identity of the anti-Trump "whistleblower" is fascinating to watch given that Adam Schiff's committee published the name of the individual, whom @RCInvestigates has identified as Eric Ciaramella. https://t.co/5tKfPSwSkf pic.twitter.com/V8253rFW8Z
