Once the whistleblower is positively ID'd, the President can revoke their security clearance. Without a security clearance, the whistleblower will lose their job. Their former employer will no longer be responsible for providing protection. The whistleblower will be dependent on local law enforcement for protection like anyone else. After a whistleblower has served people's immediate interests, that's what they could be headed for.
The questions would then be whether or not anyone would ever trust a whistleblower enough to fight for their reinstatement under a subsequent Administration and would anyone, any longer, even care.
