Or was The New York Times's unmasking of the "whistleblower" just another ruse by the Deep State Disinfo Division?

Let's face it, there were not so many CIA spooks working in that White House office, so it shouldn't be too hard to figure out who it was. A leading candidate is veteran CIA officer Michael Barry, an assassination expert, as it happens, who was loaned out during Mike Pompeo's brief stint as CIA chief. Barry acted as the NSC's chief intelligence officer. Barry or otherwise, I predict the whistleblower's identity will be known for sure in pretty short order.

So much material in this tale doesn't add up that it looks like the results of a math test in a Baltimore middle school. For one thing, the now public whistleblower complaint makes it clear that the whistleblower's information is second-hand.
