Amateur pro-Trump 'sleuths' scramble to unmask whistleblower: 'Your president has need your help'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The looming battle over President Trump’s potential impeachment has sparked an online hunt in the far-right corners of the Web as self-styled Internet sleuths race to identify the anonymous person Trump has likened to a treasonous spy.

Their guesses have been scattershot, conspiratorial and often untethered from reality, spanning a wide range of such unlikely contenders as presidential son-in-law Jared Kushner and Vice President Pence.

Some of the online commentators and anonymous posters said they have been spurred to action by Trump’s fury, foreshadowing the online clashes that are likely to engulf any upcoming impeachment hearings and the 2020 campaign.

“Carpet bomb the memes. Everywhere,” one anonymous poster on the message board 4chan wrote in response to one of Trump’s angry tweets about the whistleblower. “Time to rise up. Your president has asked for your help.”

The quest to identify the person who crafted the politically explosive complaint against Trump has become a fixation across the most extreme corners of such platforms as Twitter, Reddit and Gab — and has spread onto conservative news sites, radio shows and TV broadcasts.

1. We should mess with them and throw out names everywhere.

Here’s mine, Joe Wilson. Trump then rubbed him out.

2. It's me! Come and get me!

Who could be a more diabolically innocuous spy than an elderly cat lady in Minneapolis?

3. We need to present a well crafted but entirely bogus story

that Sean Hannity is the WhistleBlower

6. 'Well - crafted'? LOL have you READ QANON?!?!

You could tell these illiterates that goddamn Buzz Lightyear is the culprit, and they'd want Tom Hanks hauled before Congress to testify as to what he might know about his 'friend'.

Well crafted ahahahahah

7. my apologies

we need to craft a completely incredible and semi-literate twitter post accusing Sean Hannity. As long as we use quasi military buzz words, they will eat it up.

4. Hannity has been involved in this from the beginning

If it wasn't him directly, it was one of his loo-tenants.

5. Oh no!! Crap, they are going to be burning the midnight oil in their basement bedrooms, ...

doing more crap as usual. I'm scared (ohhhhhh)! F**king scumbags...I'm sick and tired of these so called 'conservatives' and/or 'patriots' and the like calling themselves this. Hiding behind Mommy and Daddy while insulting everyone in sight and trying to take the law into their hands. Despite others being found guilty of taking the law into their hands, they still will do anything (especially illegal in nature) because in their deluded minds, this is the right thing to do.

Nothing like walking all over the 1st Amendment eh? Just wait, someone is going (or multiple people) to be tagged incorrectly ID someone and harm will be done (to the wrong people too)!! If this happens, the authorities need to go hard and heavy against the perps.
