Following up my earlier post relating to whether Dave Gaubatz was House Intel Chairman Pete Hoekstra’s (R-MI) whistle-blower, the Intel Committee’s spokesman Jamal Ware just called me back. And well, the plot thickens.
While he wouldn’t specifically deny that Gaubatz is the whistle-blower in question, he did say that “the chairman’s source is not someone who has been publicly identified or someone who would be out trying to claim that they were his source.” Ware refused to characterize the program in question in any way.
That would seem to rule Gaubatz out, although it is worth keeping in mind that Hoekstra referred to a number of whistle-blowers coming forward with information.
