The whistleblower is under federal protection tonight because they are worried about their safety. 60 Minutes.
Only if he has information about Hillary's server...

1. Holy ****....
Couldn't have anything to do with the suggestion of this person being a spy or traitor and how they were handled in the good old days? Trump issued a death threat....and you can be sure that there are plenty of crazed Trump supporters (and Trump himself) who want this person dead.
says the lunatics who have been calling for the murder of the President and posting pictures of Guillotines...

9. This is what Trump and the Republicans have brought US, a patriot testifying, under armed guard, against the President of the United States. Just let that sink in.
testifying in congress... about a phone call he never heard... didn't ready the transcripts of... or even worked in the WH when it happened... and who was probably fed the information for the 'complaint' by the idiots who are running the hearing...

12. His/Her Attorney Has Set Up a Verified GFM Account to Assist Him With Legal and Other Expenses
I can imagine that she/he may not be able to work at some point given the safety concerns. This Whistleblower's life will forever be changed. I can't imagine the kind of courage it took to come forward in our current political environment and Trump's angry cultish supporters. The concerns about safety are definitely warranted. I hope they can maintain his/her anonymity.

13. Fascism
It's really coming....it's up to the courageous to prevent it.
Donald Trump should be charged and imprisoned, hes the most vile creature to ever make it to the office.
I remember the Jim Jeffries comedy routine where he said a little part of him wants to see Trump elected, "just to see how crazy shit will get". Well, Jim, you got your answer. I like JJ by the way, not bashing him and he surely didn't mean to support this Orange ShitStain.

15. Trump and ALL his people need a cease and desist order....
from a federal judge to stop comments on pending Congressional and court actions involving tRump and associates.
If that's legally possible..... ...........
When people in government use the power and voice of their office to make public statements which could influence the outcome of pending cases or say things that could endanger any individual, that would appear to be illegal.

18. Them and their attorney, who knows their identity.
At this point, with Jeffrey Epstein out of the picture so conveniently (two broken cameras to his cell?), I'd ask that the attorney also be under protective custody.
Acts like a mob boss. Will react like a mob boss.

21. I can not recall a similar situation - in the era since a federal protection system has existed ...based on threats/statements by a US President, his officials, and elected allies in congress, and the growth of a social media hunt/dox/attack millieu.
This is not politics as usual - and any place you read, on social media, an excuse of both parties do it.... that claim must be challenged. Suggested response: Specify the "other party does it" example (of someone going into witness protection) with documentation - or this statement is empty and not credible.
I fear for him/her and his/her family.
