“Please. Don’t. Investigate. Who. The. Whistleblower. Is,” Wolfsthal tweeted as The New York Times broke a story with details about the whistleblower’s identity. “It will have a chilling effect on the civil service and put a patriot’s life and job at risk,” Wolfsthal said. Earlier this morning, the impeachment investigation against President Donald Trump received new ammunition, as congress released the unclassified whistleblower complaint to the public.
