Former Trump national security aide Fred Fleitz questioned the protections afforded to the CIA whistleblower whose name he claimed is known by Washington elites, including the president. Fleitz, who served as a Deputy Assistant to President Donald Trump in 2018, argued with CNN’s Chris Cuomo about the whistleblower whose complaint about the president’s call with the leader of Ukraine sparked the Democrats’ impeachment inquiry.((Video: CNN)“The CIA whistleblower. Can we talk about that?” Fleitz asked the CNN host near the end of a segment on “Cuomo Prime Time” Thursday.

The President did not contradict what Fleitz said. Fleitz said the President knew the name of what some call the rumorblower. The President said in his tweet:
Where is the Whistleblower, and why did he or she write such a fictitious and incorrect account of my phone call with the Ukrainian President? Why did the IG allow this to happen? Who is the so-called Informant (Schiff?) who was so inaccurate? A giant Scam!

PDJT asked where the Whistleblower was. He then asked “who is the so-called informant…?” Two different persons. We all know that the Whistleblower had no personal knowlege of what he was whistleblowing about. He relied on more than one informant, at least one of whom purportedly had personal knowledge of the President’s conversation with Ukraine’s president…the informant(s) is(are) still unknown. Presumably.
The dolts like Cuomo have drunk their own Kool-Aid so much that they believe the President is constantly tripping up. Contradicting himself or members of his administration. It is the Cuomos who are tripping. The President is really quite careful about what he writes, even in tweets. This is a good example. Above Cuomo’s pay grade or something that made him very, very uncomfortable. Partisanship is a …. well, you know.

PS. I am crazy about Fred Fleitz. He is very useful where he is right now. An excellent, experienced, articulate, forceful spokesperson for the President. Maybe he could be a good addition to the administration; maybe he is more useful where he is...

Bill O'Reilly says he knows who the person is, and it was pretty well known, particularly in DC circles.

The name mentioned most by informed sources is Eric Ciaramella.
The third name to attract attention is Eric Ciaramella, an intelligence officer specializing in Russia and Ukraine. He was a staffer on the National Security Council, where he was responsible for policy regarding Ukraine. He was H.R. McMaster's personal aide and during the Obama administration had worked with Susan Rice. Ciaramella had gained a reputation as an inveterate leaker, which, he claimed, had resulted in "death threats" from "right-wingers." This was the reason he gave for leaving the NSC in 2017.
There's no smoking gun here. It could be one of these people or someone else entirely. Barry and Ciamarella were both associated with NeverTrump H.R. McMaster. Gordon and Ciamarella appear to have some grounds for holding grudges. On the other hand, Barry and Ciamarella both left in 2017, long before the phone call in which Trump committed his crime against humanity — which does not mean that they became unplugged from the grapevine and may not have heard it at second or third hand.

Re #3, if Bill O’Reilly “knows” who the whistleblower is, why is he afraid to speak his name?

No matter what President Trump said on Twitter, that does not mean that Trump does not know the name of the “whistleblower” and clearly Trump would like some media entity to “out” the “whistleblower” so that he or she can be asked who his informant(s) are within the White House who leaked national security information from inside the White House to the “Whistleblower” and most probably Adam Schiff. No doubt sometime that “whistleblower’s” identity will be made public that is if he or she actually exists.
The so-called Whistleblower Laws relate to federal employees and the federal bureaucratic agencies. Those laws do not give bureaucratic whistleblowers, or in this case his informant(s) any immunity from being prosecuted under the federal criminal laws for crimes that they have committed. What the whistleblower laws do is give a whistleblower immunity from being retaliated against by supervisors and managers who are running the federal agency where the whistleblower is employed. Remember the President, elected by the American people, is not a federal employee assigned to work at a federal bureaucratic agency, and the White House presidential operation is not a federal bureaucratic agency. So it is doubtful if those laws even apply to the President’s foreign policy decisions or the White House operation. If whistleblowers started popping up making whistleblower complaints targeting elected Democrat Congressman and women involving their congressional and political policy decisions, there is no doubt that the Congressional Democrats would quickly be singing a completely different tune regarding the Whistleblower Laws.

Re #6, another excellent Reply. This warrants emphasis.

In brief, a department whistleblower cannot lose his job if he blows the whistle on his boss.
It has been discussed on Conservative TV and in various articles. Apparently disregarded by many - which is what the Democrats, Uniparty, and state media would hope.

The reason no one is leaking the name is Valerie Plane!! Plane's name was mentioned daily on CNN then Comey & Fitzgerald prosecuted Libby for saying it once. At the last minute Colin Powell admitted he told Libby the name. Libby made a plea. Nothing happened to Powell????Bush refused to pardon Libby , Trump pardoned him. Whistleblowers are supposed to have job protection not Schiff secret security.
