| [WashingtonExaminer] The whistleblower whose complaint launched impeachment proceedings against President Trump is unlikely to testify to Congress, as talks have ceased between his legal team and committee leaders. House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, who has overseen depositions in Democrats' impeachment proceeding, was initially eager for the whistleblower to testify before citing concern about the person being identified. A source familiar with the discussions told the Washington Examiner that talks halted over potential testimony from the whistleblower and there is no discussion of testimony from a second whistleblower, who supported the first's claims. On Thursday, the House passed a resolution establishing a framework for Trump impeachment proceedings, belatedly granting Republicans the ability to subpoena witnesses, but only if Schiff and fellow Democrats on the Intelligence Committee agree. Mark Zaid, who along with Andrew Bakaj is an attorney for both the original whistleblower and the second whistleblower, told the Washington Examiner the legal team was willing to work with lawmakers so long as anonymity is ensured. “We remain committed to cooperating with any congressional oversight committee's requests so long as it properly protects and ensures the anonymity of our clients,” Zaid said. On Wednesday, Zaid and Bakaj declined to confirm or deny in a statement to the Washington Examiner that Eric Ciaramella, 33, a career CIA analyst and former Ukraine director on the NSC, was the whistleblower after a report by RealClearInvestigations. |

| #11 Impeachment is political. If the House is partisan enough, he could be indicted for walking across the street. The Senate has to convict for removal, precedent says he gets due process there - EVEN if the House debases their authority by denying it |

| #7 And they should attach a nice and fancy looking shock collar on their necks and say this is a new flawless lie detector. Every lie gets an electric shock that increases each time and 10th time is death. See if they suddenly get sweat popping white. It doesn't have to work, for them to believe it does and a few good judicious 'tests' will convince them. |

| #6 If the House actually does vote to impeach, the "whistleblower" and Schiff should be the first two defense witnesses. |

| #5 Yeah, if they DO NOT have this guy testify, I seriously doubt your going to do anything but piss America off even more. You trotted him out, now you gotta show your hand or the nation /knows/ you're bluffing. And once they know that, this whole show is really going to piss people off. There's an American phrase that applies here "Put up or shut up." Well Grand Dragon Schiff, you better put up or flaming flee the country. (Not a threat). |

| #2 The Jay Sekulow Live! radio show Friday November 1 reviewed the findings of the realclearinvestigations research into the so called whistleblowers in the Ukranian quid pro quo accusations. The realclearinvestigations findings, if true, shows that the Adam Schiff House Intelligence Committee investigation into the Ukranian quid pro quo accusation is every bit as corrupt as the Russian collusion narrative and investigation that has been going on since the Trump upset election. From what I understand it appears the Ukrainian whistleblower allegations against Trump was a setup by Adam Schiff and the deep state on the Left to investigate, impugn and to impeach Trump before the nation so the Left can win and get back into power in the 2020 election. There was never any evidence Trump colluded with Russia to win the election in 2016. But the truth never stops the deep state from creating false narratives; it was just the best narrative the Left had against Trump to delegitimize his presidency and his agenda so the Left could deny the president any success till he could be unseated and the Left can get back into power and fulfill the Obama agenda of fundamental change in America of bringing America down to what it really is, a bad country, by undermining it throughout the world. Adam Schiff should be impeached for the fraud he has perpetrated against the presidency and against the American people. Schiff has no moral standing despite how he has been portrayed by the media as a straight shooter since the Trump investigations began. It is my hope that the the Durham investigation into the Russia collusion hoax exposes who the real bad actors are and that it would go all the way to the person at the top, Sotero, so the people can see the media narrative that there was no corruption during the Obama administration is totally false. I pray enough people will figure out this truth before the November 2020 election so no Democrat president can continue to tear down this country like that deep state is trying to do right now. Once Trump is removed, God forbid, the Left can pursue its other hoaxes of global warming, save the world environmentalism and social justice projects that undermine real justice and truth. I am surprised Rantburg has not yet posted an article on the realclearinvestigations findings that show the whistleblower Ukrainian phone call incident was a setup by Schiff and the same Left deep state actors of the Russian collusion hoax trying to further undermine Trump's presidency. |
