Classic.
The just released transcript of Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman’s testimony at the closed-door impeachment inquiry quotes Rep. Mark Meadows telling Dem doorknob Rep. Eric Swalwell to “shut up” after Chairman Adam Schiff inaccurately stated the whistleblower is due anonymity in these proceedings by statute:

There’s a word to describe all of this and it’s “HERO”:
It was during an exchange in which GOP counsel tried to get Vindman to reveal who he spoke to in the intel community, interpreted by Vindman's lawyer as an attempt to out the whistleblower.

And Swalwell is turning this into a “Dear Diary” moment of his own:
Here is @RepMarkMeadows saying “shut up” as we try and stop him from outing the whistleblower. We are protecting this whistleblower and any future person who comes forward. https://t.co/gWlp9DVivq

Pathetic.
