The anonymous whistleblower who is at the center of impeachment inquiry is quietly slipping into the sidelines as Democrats say the individuals testimony is no longer necessary.
Meanwhile, Republicans have raised concerns over the lack of testimony from the whistleblower, saying that the individuals testimony is required to ensure due process and fairness.
The Washington Post reported on Thursday that several Democrats have said that they no longer need to hear from the whistleblower because they have gathered enough information from recent depositions obtained in secret hearings to back allegations against President Donald Trump.
The report also said, citing a person familiar with the House investigation, that there are no active efforts to bring in the whistleblower before lawmakers.
The whistleblower filed a complaint in August (pdf) accusing the president of pressuring Ukraine to investigate a political opponent during a call in July. The allegations prompted the House to launch an impeachment inquiry on Sept. 24 to probe for any wrongdoing on the part of the president. The Democrat-led inquiry has attracted intense criticism for its process, in particular, its use of secret closed-door hearings and selective leaks of witness testimony.

Since President Trump was elected,it was always someone behind the “Oz” curtain. Oz was always that Wicked Wench Clinton and the winged flying Obama monkeys.
I think he'll be impeached. Not due to cause but because the Rats hate him. And this will be standard operating procedure for all Republican presidents going forward.
The president has no authority to do so and the Pubs in the house have no authority to do so. The rules in the house are whatever the majority party decides to do.
It's anybody's guess if the Pubs in the senate will demand to cross examine the whistleblower, and it will be easy enough for the Rats to tie up any subpoenas in the courts for months or years.
The whistleblower will never testify.
Im sure you are right, the only way they win is if we lay down. The left is coming for us, we have to stand up and fight for ourselves like Trump is doing. Hes all we have between us and the uniparty.
Irrelevant. The whistleblower law will protect them.
Thanks for the post. This isnt Watergate and we arent as dumb to the facts as my folks were when all there was, was Cronkite on tv. We have more info now. The Dems still live in the past. Trump aint Nixon and I aint in the dark like my folks were.
So true. Yet the MSM trots out its old fossils like Bernstein from time to time. Its like they wish for the good old days of 50 years ago where *they* were in sole control of the news.
Theres no whistleblower, its made up, its a hoax, a lie, same as the Russia hoax.
Absolutely. If Trump is impeached, the Silent Majority must rise up and put the fear of God in the Republicans.
We must take it to the streets in massive demonstrations. The left, of course, will physically attack us; there will be bloodshed, and the Rat media empire will blame the president.
This stuff is easy to predict.
The transcript bears that out, but the danger for the president is real . They will impeach him, and the only way to keep him in office is to hold the GOP's feet to the fire.
Ok, you are in your space ranting. What do you suggest we do to protect Trump besides vote for him and get our friends to do the same?
Pay no attention to that “whistleblower” behind the curtain...
The whistleblower was fake. It was the pretext to haul the others into their secret star chamber. Who knows what’s being said, and how it’s being twisted around. The democrat party should be taken down. They are way out of control.
You laugh, but I just had a ‘conversation’ on Facebook with a leftist woman who said it was irritating, all this Republican complaining about the process, because Trump’s actions were so egregious. IOW, hang him, the give him a fair trial. We’re in pretty deep muck.
The President was conducting foreign policy, where the intelligence community has no oversight.
No whistle was blown, but a crime was committed by someone in the I.C.
Time for Graham to issue a subpoena for the whistlerblower (aka John Doe) to appear before the Sen. Judiciary Committee and answer a lot of questions. The subpoena can be served by the Sgt at Arms or Clerk of the Senate to the Clerk of the House and then forwarded to Schiff, who knows his identity.
Graham can possibly have the Capital Police serve the subpoena if the whistleblowers steps foot on Capital Hill.
Hell, they might even be able to serve a subpoena on Schiff etc for “hiding a material witness” to claims of a crime involving the President/White House.
Worth a try. Let the Left crap in their pants for a while.
We need to contact our congress critters and let them know in no uncertain terms that if Trump goes it is the end of the Republican party.
If he is impeached we need to take to the streets in massive protests all across the nation.
We need to make such a (peaceful) disturbance that the Republican politicians are shaking in their boots.
The whistle blower is Shift-head’s female identity I bet.
Well raise all the hell all you can. Me, I figure they know what we think and are trying to decide if they care. Theres a point that we all will make a decision, thats when the fan hits the feces. We have to work and vote, when thats not good enough, it time to draw ammo. We were lazy and its come to this, sucks but so does reality.
The whistleblower HAD to disappear.
For two weeks it was non-stop;
" ... and the whistleblower, Ted ... whoever he or she may be ..... "
Do you see it?
I made a pain in the ass of myself pointing out that THEIR OWN FAKE NEWS EXPOSED THE GENDER FALLACY !
Of course the whistleblower faded, whoever he or she may have been.
