Boy, he certainly acts like it. /s

Honest answer: I'm on the fence. The conservative in me wants that person's identity (and safety) protected...that's the only reason I'd say no. Otherwise, I don't care one way or the other. 

I could offer you another strawman question in return, but I figure it'd get us nowhere.

 
Not a strawman question, at all. If we really want to get to all the facts, then deposing the whistleblower to determine his actual knowledge of events, and how he came about them, is the foundation of what this case is all about. How do we know this wasn't a setup by those who were frustrated by the lack of results from the Mueller report? Seems simple enough: create another charge with the thinnest of evidence and then cloak the person who is assumed to make the charge in whistleblower protection. That way, Trump cannot face his accuser and the whistleblower is exempt from probing questions.
