To your second point:

First, whistleblower identity protections are entirely for protecting that person's employment. The identity itself is not protected, just the assurance of job security. This fucker was fired long ago (for leaking), so he gets none of that. However (and critically) his identity being a secret is important to the intended narrative (who is he, someone close to things, his life is being threatened, he was a casual bystander, he's definitely not a biased witness by any means, pay no attention to the man behind the curtain).

Second, this is a flex. The established powers of media, bureaucracy, and politics are utilizing their ability to make something so merely by claiming it to be. This is why Trump is guilty of something Biden did. This is why Obama was a scandal free president. This is why Epstein definitely committed suicide and had a closer relationship with Trump than with Bill Clinton.

Frankly it is all a gambit. They've had great, to middling, to mild success over many years of crafting a narrative and having it parroted endlessly. I can't predict where the public's stomach for obvious lies ends, but we're reaching it. Pepe and OK signs don't stir the entire nation like a political coup being televised uncritically.
