    Adam Schiff says whistleblower may not testify in impeachment probe

    The definition of "whistleblower" is someone who comes forward with evidence of corruption.

    If you don't come forward, you're not really a whistleblower. Now, Schiff is hoping Trump's call manuscript will suffice.

    It won't.

    Schiff (D-Calif.) said the whistleblower’s testimony might not be needed given that a rough transcript of the call with Trump asking Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for a “favor” — the centerpiece of the whistleblower’s complaint — is public. In addition, lawmakers have a collected a tranche of damning text messages and witness testimony related to the scandal in the past two weeks.

    “Our primary interest right now is making sure that that person is protected. Indeed, now there’s more than one whistleblower, that they are protected,” Schiff said on CBS’ “Face the Nation“ on Sunday.

    Adam Schiff says whistleblower may not testify in impeachment probe

    He has no first hand knowledge of anything, so why would he?

    It is not an impeachment probe. It is a coup attempt.
    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.


    I pledge allegiance to the Constitution as written and understood by this nation's founders, and to the Republic it created, an indivisible union of sovereign States, with liberty and justice for all.

    It is a coup attempt. Round up the coup plotters and find them some death eligible defense attorneys and get the trials started ASAP. Trials will be in the 5th Circuit.

    Build gallows on the National Mall so they are ready to go. Hanging is what traitors get.

    I wish you'd quit holding back, and tell us how you really feel.

    The “intelligence community”(military-industrial) doesn’t answer to us. They’re merely attempting what they’ve done in so many other countries on our dime.

    Ten years ago, such a statement would be unbelievably ridiculous. Today, I don't know. It's sounding more and more credible that those retards have not given up on overturning the Trump election.

    It won't.

    If you are a witness, and money, wealth, power, status, position, and futures of others are involved, of threats have been insinuated against witnesses, out of those supporting who they believe in for themselves, witness elimination is a real possibility to those who pose a threat to a brilliant community that has caused all the trouble it has. Their families, associates, also, are subjected to becoming potential targets.

    Witnesses deserve protection. So, who in the Trump camp has threatened, called others names, called for civil war and revolution, but they would never be the first to step in, for if they were sincere to their vocation, they would have pulled a straw already. They are sincere only in fallacy, as the world is falling apart. A civil war over something that is being played out in a court of law, as it should be, called the impeachment process, otherwise, there is civil war on the streets.

    Question: Who is implicated in this complaint?

    I've heard that before and why you would link to that video is beyond me. Around the 4 minute mark is where Schiff starts lying about what Trump said. Schiff later called it a "parody" but he never should have lied like that. Complaints have been filed against him for doing so.

    Yes, witnesses should be protected -- but our rule of law doesn't permit them to be anonymous. It's a constitutional right for all accused to be able to face their accusers.

    But, Schiff knows the whistleblower is made-up, which is why Schiff is now moving away from the whistleblower complaint and trying to make his case solely on the call transcript. This whole thing has been concocted from the get-go and it's getting ready to backfire on democrats in Congress.
