Exactly, I came here to say the same thing. No drum rolls... no "envelope please"... nothing like that. Especially if you value your life. Just come out in public and name the perp. There, done.
It reminds me of every police movie and TV crime drama where the bad guy and the good guy are pointing guns at each other and talking each other to death. Just shoot the guy, already. You can converse later, if he survives.
When the entire system is balanced on mutual blackmail portfolios, all we are ever going to see is talk. Threats and threats and more threats but no one will actually drop a name or do anything because of the threats against them, their family, their allies or whatever.
Both sides are playing chicken hoping to get the other side to make a mistake. Like trying to get the pitcher to balk by leading off and tempting him.
