House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) on Sunday said that testimony from the intelligence community whistleblower at the center of the House impeachment inquiry against President Trump may no longer be necessary.
“Given that we already have the call record, we don't need the whistleblower who wasn't on the call to tell us what took place during the call,” he told Margaret Brennan during an interview on CBS's "Face the Nation."
“Before the president started threatening the whistleblower... we were interested in having the whistleblower come forward. Our primary interest right now is making sure that that person is protected."

The whistleblower wrote a complaint about a July 25 phone call between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, during which Trump pressed his counterpart to open an investigation into former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter.
The complaint was released to the public last month shortly after House Democrats launched an impeachment inquiry based on information about the call that had been made public.
The White House also previously released a readout of the call which confirmed much of the substance of the whistleblower's complaint.
Trump has accused the whistleblower of being biased against him and not having trustworthy information about the call, despite releasing the transcript.
The lawyers representing the whistleblower have expressed concern for their client's safety given Trump's comments.

After Schiff is in jail, probably not.
Nobody cares except msm and dems and rabid left.
They’re handing us the elections.
Translation: We don’t have a case and we are schitt shiffless.
of course it is necessary -to watch wb take the 5th...
TRANSLATION: “We never had anything. We just wanted to throw a bunch of mud around to dirty Trump up a little.”
Anonymous second-hand complaint. No law breaking. No opportunity to face your accuser. No opportunity to call witnesses for the defense. No admission of exculpatory evidence. What a great party those Donks are.
This
I agree, all the crap they’re doing now is increasing their loss.
Shifffty Schitt acts like a total jerk Does not belong in public office. Any public office
Translation: We don’t want the embarrassment of having the “witness” totally destroyed on the witness stand so we are going to keep talking about impeachment without actually impeaching.
“confirmed much of the substance...” my ASS!!!
Note how Shifty tries to make the leaker look like a victim.
The entire thing is a charade and a set up over an innocuous routine non-event.
Did it really? Has the author access to testimony that hasn't been made yet and perhaps never will?
That bucket of barf article badmouthing and spinning lies AGAINST President Trump came from The Hill. John Solomon worked for The Hill before leaving recently to start his own media outlet. I can’t see how/why Solomon would have attached himself to a crap house such as that.
