The chairman speaking.

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff isn’t quite as keen as he once was to call the first Ukraine whistleblower to testify, announcing he might not need to appear in the course of the impeachment inquiry after all.

“Well, our primary interest right now is making sure that that person is protected,” Schiff said during an appearance on “Face the Nation.”

“Indeed, now there’s more than one whistleblower, that they are protected. And given that we already have the call record, we don’t need the whistleblower who wasn’t on the call to tell us what took place during the call. We have the best evidence of that.”

He concluded that “[i]t may not be necessary to take steps that might reveal the whistleblower’s identity to do that. And we’re going to make sure we protect that whistleblower.”


Schiff, of course, had originally claimed “we have not spoken directly with the whistleblower” during an interview.

He would later amend this to say that he “does not know the identity of the whistleblower, and has not met with or spoken with the whistleblower or their counsel” and that “we” referred to the members of the House Intelligence Committee, not their staff. Convincing!

It helps, at the end of the day, to have truth on your side. So if Trump was guilty of a fraction of the things he's accused of - he'd be toast.

And there's an old saying: sunlight is the best disinfectant.

Whistleblower says Trump broke laws during a phone call? Trump orders the whole transcript released. Net result was within a whirlawind day or two, suddenly the whole world had more insight into the Ukraine call than the "whistleblower" did when he told his tales.

Now said "whistleblower" needs to hide in secrecy.

Guys - this is a remarkably weak attempt at hobbling a post-Mueller hoax Trump.

The main problem with the whole situation is that it is even happening in the first place.. .

These attacks, need to be addressed as treason.

If they find something, that's one thing. But when the government representatives themselves are attacking the head officer with malice and false accusations, they should be held accountable.

With it comes hatred, confusion and acts of violence; perpetrated by these so called representatives.. While they hide unto their blighted and unrealistic existance.
