Cruelty and dishonesty are ‘conservative’ principles under Trump.

The whistleblower is an object of hate for people who need that emotion to feel a sense of self-worth.

To not admit guilt, and lash-out violently at the person who exposed you is the moral profile of toddlers and dictators: morality to them is whatever they don’t get punished-for.

The USA is a constitutional republic but republicans attack the constitution. Stick a fork in it, it’s fascism.

If they knew they’d be screaming the name repeatedly at the top of their lungs.

They’re still working on the FBI election probe. They need to complete that scavenger hunt before they can compete in the next one.

Trump and his co-conspirators want to “out” the whistleblower to harm the person and chill any future revelations.

That is correct. Republican logic:
A says p.
B confirms that p is true.
C confirms that p is true.
D confirms that p is true.
E confirms that p is true.
A is a Democrat.
Therefore,
P is false.

Intimidation is the main reason, but the revenge aspect is a bonus.

I believe they already know he is most likely a Democrat and they believe by exposing that fact that they can then discredit him as a Trump hater.
Therefore, everything he says is partisan and suspect.

Added:
If he was a Republican, I don’t think they would want to expose and attack him so badly.

I bet this group could figure out who the whistle blower is … if they had 3 contestants to choose from.

Well, as far as they’re concerned, you don’t need an anonymous tip line when you can just look at someone’s skin tone to determine whether they are a criminal or at least need to be put in jail.

From the GOP point of view it will stop any other WBs now and in their future endeavors to break the law.

you know trumps # 1 priority is to find the culprit and crucify him or her for all eternity.
I kinda hope he never finds out and when he is on last breaths, whisper in his ear,
“it was Ivanka”

I believe if a Republican politician revealed the name, they would face serious consequences due to rules/laws regarding protecting all whistle blowers identity. They want the press to do it for them.

Retaliation and intimidation.

It’s really all they have left.

Once the rats lose their fear of the water, jumping ship is their only real option.

That’s exactly it. Trumpworld and Fox News will lavish demonization on this person, who will become the personification of all the is evil in the forces of darkness opposing Jesus/Caesar Trump.
That’s what it’s all about, Charlie Brown.
