Full title: 'No further discussion': Talks halt between whistleblower lawyers and Schiff staff amid expectation he won’t testify.
The whistleblower whose complaint launched impeachment proceedings against President Trump is unlikely to testify to Congress, as talks have ceased between his legal team and committee leaders.
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, who has overseen depositions in Democrats' impeachment proceeding, was initially eager for the whistleblower to testify before citing concern about the person being identified.
Republicans accuse Schiff, a California Democrat, of changing course to prevent inquiries into his staff's dealings with the whistleblower before he filed his Aug. 12 complaint to the Intelligence Community inspector general.
A source familiar with the discussions told the Washington Examiner that talks halted over potential testimony from the whistleblower and there is no discussion of testimony from a second whistleblower, who supported the first's claims.
“There is no indication that either of the original whistleblowers will be called to testify or appear before the Senate or House Intelligence committees. There is no further discussion ongoing between the legal team and the committees,” the person said.

No Eric Cinderella was still CIA at Langley ; he was no longer NSC.
That’s why Miskito had to be hired by Schiftt to alter the online form to allow hearsay.
Good work.
I agree, but I would bet due to shear size, it is an overwhelming task to replace everyone. Besides, everyone is looking at the head of the snake and not the underlings. I wonder how many Republican Administrations have been undercut by those in the deep state.
I know. I wonder the same thing.

Why, the Republicans on the Committee can subpoena him!
Ooops? I forgot. Each witness called by the republicans needs to be permitted to appear by Shifty Adam Schiff.
republicans should subpoena him and upon Schiff’s refusal, should caterwaul to the high heavens about due process.
“Admit it. You’re thinking belt fed, aren’t you?”
Weeelll, that’s putting it a little frankly. I was more in the line of completing a controlled study of the durability of various elements of the human anatomy under conditions of sustained fully-automatic weapons fire.
He’s a SPY working for the NSC and CIA
Interesting stuff - thanks for compiling it.
I always appreciate it when someone does that on something I don’t have the time to noodle out on my own, so you are most welcome!
Yep - Liz did a smack up job on some info the other day...that makes two of you in a short time.
The leaker was never going to testify.
