And will they admit that the ‘whistle blower’ is reporting rumor and hearsay only?
It is not hearsay in snything like the traditional legal meaning. It is the result of reports by partisans operating on the surface as WH and Intel staff BUT who in reality were reporting to former high level Obama, Hillary and Brennan staffers. The problem for them is they cannot produce written accounts as that would expose an undertaking to perform a coup. There are written reports but these serve only as a way of recreating them as being supposedly overheard independent event which OMG can be tied together into an impeachment narrative. Very very slick, but can it overcome 4th, 5th, and 6th amendment protections.?
