Please cite the law that permits a member of the Senate from exposing the name of a whistleblower where the House has already completed an investigation?
There is no enumerated confidentiality statute pertaining to outing the whistleblower unless its the Inspector General or staff.
The 18th witness' testimony Schiff is hiding revealed a lot of dubious shenanigans about this subject (Allegedly). The public has the right to know as well as Trump's VI amendment rights. Again, the House is finished with their investigation, hence any protections under the Inspector General Act of 1978 are null and void.

You raise excellent points; however, I doubt Ciaramella would prove to be a helpful witness (and I am not sure you argue for that).
IMO, the R's would be better served to call a witness that could testify to Ciaramella's intimate involvement and disqualifying bias. If the defense looses the witness issue it may come to that.

My point is that the Chief Justice is not going to put himself in the middle of that.
