Juan Williams dropped the mic during a discussion on The Five over allegations by Tony Bobulinski against Hunter Biden and former Vice President Joe Biden.

Co-host Kennedy analogized the claims with the charges against President Donald Trump that led to his impeachment nearly a year ago.

“If Tony Bobulinski is saying Hunter Biden knew about all of this, if any of that is minutely proven and Joe Biden took a dime from any of that, then why wouldn’t you, if you are using the same threshold and the same standard, why would you not impeach Joe Biden?” Kennedy asked. “That is why you have to be careful with these things, because at some point, the entire script will inconveniently flip.”

“Yes, impeachment is contagious,” Greg Gutfeld added. “Juan, why don’t the Republicans start pre-emptive impeachment on Joe Biden, in case he wins? They could start it tomorrow, what do you think?”

“I think that is a great show, that’s a great show, we should put that one up there, as an idea, I’m sure it would get primetime,” Williams said. “You know, for me the bottom line here is conspiracy theories are very entertaining, including a possible impeachment hearing before the man’s elected. But I would say, how credible is this guy? I just don’t know.”

Williams brought up a report by New York Times‘ Ben Smith on the how the story, published at the New York Post, became a story. “Somebody at a credible newspaper, our own parent company, that reporter not only listened to him, but went through the documents and came to conclusion that Joe Biden did nothing wrong, no money changed hands to the Bidens.”

“I think, this just isn’t credible,” Williams said. He then laid into it, which was great TV and example of collegial debate many of the show's viewers come for.

The identity of the secret White House insider who published first a bombshell New York Times column and then a book decrying the administration of President Donald Trump is no longer secret: it's former Department of Homeland Security chief of staff Miles Taylor.

It was not a triumphant coming out.

Disappointed by the reveal, pundits and journalists took to Twitter to bash the news. 

Naturally, Trump, too, went after him, albeit dismissively.

Then people started sharing articles Taylor had written under his own name, and videos of him flat-out lying about being anonymous on air on CNN, where he is a contributor.

And the day culminated with his being sort of raked over the coals by CNN's own Chris Cuomo, who asked why CNN should keep him on the payroll. Which so far they still are.

Still, Cuomo let Taylor go on at length about his Trump criticisms anyway. The New York Times has made no correction or retraction of their build-up that Taylor was some critical high level piece of the Trump puzzle (though the Washington Post sort of called out that tidbit.) Still, not all bad news. Or at least, not all bad news for the outlets that carried and continue to carry Taylor's work.

The need for anonymity has not yet been explained. Considering that Taylor was writing under his own name saying the same things, and then on air as a CNN contributor, there's a lot left to be explained. 

But as far as his notoriety and hero status, it seems Taylor's ship has sailed without him. As anonymous, he was a somebody. As somebody, he's quickly becoming just another anonymous face.
