It’s now been confirmed that the “Ukraine whistleblower” isn’t just a partisan Democrat: He worked in some capacity for one of the party’s 2020 contenders. Since his complaint was the key trigger that now has the House rushing to impeach President Trump, the American people plainly ought to know which candidate that was — and what the work was.

Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff ought to announce the information. If he doesn’t, then The New York Times should reveal it.

The Times, you see, knows exactly who the whistleblower is. Indeed, it’s already made some information about him public — including that he’s a male CIA employee who was temporarily on duty at the White House.

The paper, which claims it wants to protect whistleblower confidentiality, released that info because it bolstered the credibility of his complaint. It plainly has a basic journalistic duty to also share facts that stand to undermine his credibility.

Unless, that is, it wants to admit that it only considers facts “fit to print” when they serve a blatant anti-Trump agenda.
