Senate Intel chair: Whistleblower hasn't agreed to testify before panel
The Hill ^ | 10/16/19 | Jordain Carney

Posted on 10/16/2019 10:55:37 AM PDT by yesthatjallen

Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Richard Burr (R-N.C.) on Wednesday told reporters that a whistleblower at the center of the House impeachment inquiry hasn't yet agreed to meet with his Senate panel.

Asked if his panel would look into the content of the whistleblower's complaint — which is focused on President Trump's attempts to get the Ukraine government to investigate the Bidens — Burr said he first had to "go through the process of the whistleblower complaint."

"I don't know," he added, asked how long that would take. "Tell me when I'm going to get access to a whistleblower who has not made themselves available."

Pressed if the whistleblower was refusing to testify, Burr added that the individual "hasn't agreed to yet."

Burr said that he had "no idea" what was delaying getting an interview with the whistleblower. Asked what he was being told, Burr added that "they're not interested."

An attorney for the whistleblower didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.

Warner is running this committee.
Burr is just a figurehead.

Gee whiz Senator Burr, how about issuing a Subpoena?

It’s all the rage in the House you know.

I guess warrner has made the decision to start investigating Trump again. Has the republican senate ever investigated anything but Trump in the last 3 years? Where’s linda?

Because you’re a Republican panel idiot this is a pure dem operation.

And following whistleblower nonsense rules in an impeachment is insane.

The ‘whistleblower’ is a composite character Democrats created to leak rumors, gossip, and innuendos.

Chairman Burr, you miserable, collaborating RINO, there’s actually a thing called a subpoena you could use on the turd.

Can you just issue a subpoena to “Mr. Whistleblower?”

I would think you would at least need a name?

Of course there is a real person who filled in the form which arrived on the IG's desk. It didn't fill itself in. Even if Schiff's staff filled in the form, they didn't put their name in the spot that says name.

This is not difficult to figure out. There are 1000's of deep state Trump haters. Almost any of them would sign the form and take the 7 figure book deal. Some of them would do it for free, they truly hate Trump and believe he is evil no matter what he said on that call.

I agree....We know he lies....and does parodies.

I'm betting that the whistleblower went directly to Schitt and there was one witness to the meet. There is likely a call or email preceding the meet OR the Schitt and the Whistle Blower met outside someplace first. Shades of Deep Throat.

Put Schitt under oath.

The Dems tried to clobber Nunes. They lost but it tied up Nunes for about 9 months.

Burr is Warner’s bitch. He’s a disgraceful little coward. I can’t believe Yurtle hasn’t replaced him....or that the N.C. voters haven’t.

The “whistleblower” as they describe DOES NOT EXIST, He was made up out of whole cloth in the mind of pencil neck schiff.

This is why Schiff needs to be NAMED a Witness and Brought before the Senate to Testify in PUBLIC>
