CNN anchor John King defended Republicans on Thursday, arguing they made a "legitimate point" in asking why the intelligence community whistleblower -- who brought the complaint that prompted Trump's impeachment -- hadn't been questioned.
"You're asking the Congress, the Senate now, to remove the President of the United States," King said. "It's a legitimate point for the president's team and the Republicans to say: 'Shouldn't we go to the very origin of this?'"

It must have hurt him to say that, and his fellow journalists at CNN must have gone ballistic when he said as well.
"You have unknowingly lurched into the truth."
Has he released a statement saying that he is not suicidal? Might be a good idea.
...arguing they made a "legitimate point" in asking why the intelligence community whistleblower -- who brought the complaint that prompted Trump's impeachment -- hadn't been questioned.
IOW, he's a CNNcern Troll.
also heard Schift sic - says only they can call witness, Trump not allowed to -
No crime
No witness in your defense
No chance to face your accuser
This is a Representative leader of the United State of America Congress.
Unemployed man walking.
You guys seem to miss understand the concept of swapping verses blowing. As in whistle blowing verses whistle swapping. Actually, it is probably a good thing you miss understand that. However, the main reason anyone would need a swapper in this situation, would be if the original blower was to remain unknown. Kapech ?
CNN agreeing with Repubes is a ruse for the case to bring more witnesses. Once a witness is called more will be needed to refute or corroborate the first witness and then that witness. The longer this Impeachment Trial goes on the Senate cannot do business such as confirm judges and other stuff. Which is what the demonrats want besides putting the asterisk on the POTUS’ resume for the upcoming election.
The coup was engineered to hide massive criminality, corruption and even outright treason during the Obama Administration.
The plotters have been in a frantic race to take down Trump before he can get indictments in place and prosecutions rolling.
The smarter and less compromised players see the hand writing on the wall and are beginning to position themselves for life and continuing credibility and career viability in the next five years of post Coup reality
It’s a deep question — should the acused be allowed to face the accuser? Hmmmmmmmmmm. If only the Constitution had language that could answer such a question ...
Mother Zucker just peed his panties.
“also heard Schift sic - says only they can call witness, Trump not allowed to -

And (to borrow from the Dems) everyone in America knows that this is what happens at a trial, right?!
John King is fringe CNN. He does not reflect the mainstream thoughts. A bit like OpEd in a print medium, they have to throw out what are, to them, absurd suggestions, just to demonstrate how open minded they are.
SENATORS: If the Impeachment doesn’t fit....you must ACQUIT!
For that, you would have to go back to 11/8/2016, or perhaps even to 6/16/2015
Are you saying that Ciaramella’s buddy was a cut-out for the whistleblower and it is possible that Ciaramella ISN’T the blower?
Interdasting. Makes Atkinson’s testimony that much more important.
