Not to mention the confrontation clause of the 6th amendment.
Does Trump have a right to confront his accuser(s) in all impeachment proceedings? if he is being accused of a crime or misdemeanor, it seems to me that impeachment may be construed as a criminal court proceeding. If it is not, then why use terms of criminal justice to define it?
Exactly. The anonymity of the “whistleblower” is what disqualifies him as a witness.
Therefore, ironically, it is in the President’s best interest that the “whistleblower” remain anonymous.
This, I believe, is why Hannity, Carlson, Levin, Dobbs, etc. are acting like they don’t know who he is - not out of cowardice, but because it makes their case stronger.
