CNN uses the near-limitless investigative resources at its disposal in order to hunt down a guy who made a gif.

CNN is not publishing "HanA**holeSolo's" name because he is a private citizen who has issued an extensive statement of apology, showed his remorse by saying he has taken down all his offending posts, and because he said he is not going to repeat this ugly behavior on social media again. In addition, he said his statement could serve as an example to others not to do the same.
CNN reserves the right to publish his identity should any of that change.
So basically CNN is now in the business of policing speech on the internet and using blackmail (via threats of doxxing) against anonymous nobodies who might be unlucky enough to have the president retweet their joke.
Much ethics. So integrity. Wow.
On the flip side, they're getting a well-deserved backlash today. Perhaps they'll eventually realize the thing doing the greatest damage to CNN’s last remaining shreds of credibility is CNN.
