An interjection from House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) on the need to “protect the whistleblower” has many conservatives saying that the chairman essentially outed Lt. Col.

The law does not explicitly prevent anyone other than the intelligence community inspector general (ICIG) who received the complaint from outing the identity of the so-called “whistleblower.”
