Full title:

"Schiff confirms tentative agreement for whistleblower to testify before House Intelligence Committee "

Excerpt:

There is a tentative agreement for the anonymous whistleblower who filed a complaint containing allegations about President Donald Trump's conduct to testify before the House Intelligence Committee, Chairman Adam Schiff said Sunday, confirming CNN's previous reporting.

CNN reported on Wednesday that the potential testimony is dependent on the whistleblower's attorneys getting security clearance.

* * *

The California Democrat added that his committee is currently "taking all the precautions we can to make sure that we do so -- we allow that testimony to go forward in a way that protects the whistleblower's identity, because as you can imagine, when the President is showing threats like, 'We ought to treat these people who expose my wrongdoing as we used to treat traitors and spies,' and we used to execute traitors and spies. You can imagine the security concerns here." (My bolding)

They will find a dead body and claim Trump ordered a hit.

I think you’re right. The Democrats are clearly not dealing from a position of strength here.

What a brilliant idea, have someone testify about alleged incidents that they never actually witnessed in person, but heard 2nd or 3 hand. That would really go over big in a court of law.

Of course, and anonymously too!

Do any of these Democrats realize how ridiculous they look?

Will a Blasey type be presented as the leaker?

The leaker may well be Blasey Ford herself, with a new story.

What has this country come to when an anonymous source with information that is 2nd and 3rd hand can bring down a sitting president. If that happens this Republic is dead.

How are these hearings even legit? Just because Nancy names them an Impeachment Inquiry?

How are these any different than the past Nader hearings?

I would just ignore the subpoenas. Let them flop in the wind.

The ‘RATS are perfecting their game. They learned from the Christine Blasey Ford testimony. Blasey-Ford 1.0 was readily proven that her allegations were supported by NONE of her witnesses and that she told many falsehoods.

Blasey-Ford 2.0 (the “John Doe” CIA so called Whistleblower) will have his/her identity hidden and his/her 2nd & 3rd hand “sources” will apparently not be identified either. So Blasey-Ford 2.0’s testimony cannot be proven false like Blasey-Ford 1.0’s was when her supposed “witnesses” would not commit perjury to support 1.0’s fairy tail.

Attempting to frame and impeach a President with secret testimony from a secret witness. How very old school communist.

I would not cooperate with subpoenas until the whistleblower testifies in public.

I like that position. No “whistleblower” public testimony no testimony from anyone else on this matter.

I’m very skeptical the “whistleblower” will ever testify since Trump released the transcript. Schiff will say the “whistleblower’s” claims have been confirmed. Just a few problems with that, that would be false and the “whistleblower” will have to name names - which he/she will not. They couldn’t possibly have protection for their actions.

View “A Man for All Seasons.” Even Henry VIII gave Thomas More a wee tad more due process than Shit is giving the President and people of the United States.

"This whistle-blower is not a whistle-blower."

He's a rumormonger.

I just wonder what PDJT will do after he wins 2020 and then has "more flexibility."



Since PDJT is showing huge gains in real poll numbers of his support by blacks and Hispanics as compared to 2016 he just might carry even more states in 2020.

Since the progs are now reduced to making up fairy tales on camera in front of Congress and then try to walk it back by calling it a parody, how will they react to an even bigger win in 2020?

absolutely. If his identity is ever revealed, he’ll be exposed as a Dem operative of one sort of another, no whistleblower at all. If he was legit, they’d be showing his name and creds.
