Rand Paul is wasting precious time by not naming the whistleblower himself

Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky was fantastic in calling for the press to publicize the name of the still-anonymous government employee who has kicked off an impeachment. But Paul is going to look very stupid if no news outlet does it in the next few days and he himself won’t do it either, despite admitting that he knows who it is.

There is absolutely no argument in favor of keeping the so-called “whistleblower” anonymous that outweighs the counter. We’re heading toward an impeachment, the first step in unseating the legitimately elected president of the United States. Everything needs to be on the table.
