The story didn't give his name, but here is what I read. . .

Here is what I read on Salon.

"Republicans go lower: They're publicly spreading the name of purported Ukraine whistleblower
Rep. Louie Gohmert dropped the name during a public hearing while Rand Paul shared it with millions on Twitter."

soon as he started ranting. I looked it up on Twitter, he said the name, without stating he was the Whistleblower.

Hank's chances may be slim in East Texas Klan country, but at least we can make Louie work for it this time. IMO making Texas a net spend for Republicans is an amazing victory, even if we're not quite blue just yet (it's coming).

How could anyone be so irresponsible, possibly putting someone's life in danger? These nuts rarely think of the consequences of their actions. If something should happen to the misnamed person, he/she should be able to sue that fool and the law enforcement should pay him a visit.

Did he state the name or just make it so obvious anyone could figure it out? I’ve heard that many politicians know who it is. But I can’t imagine if Trump knew he wouldn’t announce it on national TV to his minions.
