quote:

It’s impossible to bring this case forward, in my view, fairly without us knowing who the whistleblower is and having a chance to cross-examine them about any biases they may have," he said. "So if they don’t call the whistleblower in the House, this thing is dead on arrival in the Senate.”


quote:

"This is not about Schiff finding the truth, this is about Schiff trying to destroy the Trump presidency," Graham said.

Why does it matter, what could they possibly have to ask him? It wouldn’t matter if it were Hillary herself, Trumps actions are what’s under question and the motive of the whistleblower should be irrelevant.

Graham on the right, Schiff on the left.



So this being the case, Schiff MAAAAY want to reconsider his position on calling the whistleblower to appear. Unless, of course, this isn't at all about an impeachment actually going to trial, and instead simply and exclusively intending to damage his political rival. Obviously we know it's the latter.

Everyone is screaming at Senate Republicans to do something; hold hearings.

Democrats are going to screw this up all by themselves.

Terrible strategy by Graham - good thing McConnell would actually be calling the shots. We could end the campaigns of all 4 senators and cause a huge rift on the left when brain addled Biden emerges as the nominee

Turtle better tell Chuckie to frick off.


The Hill

@thehill

Sen. Chuck Schumer: "I'm ready to sit down with Leader McConnell and try to come up with fair rules [on impeachment]. There's no reason why we shouldn't be able to do that."

The only way we can expose this fraud is to have a full trial in the senate. That’s what I’m pulling for.

Whistleblower doesn’t matter. It’s about evidence. The anonymous call to report the robbers entering the bank means nothing. It’s the evidence of the act that matters.

Good luck with that nonsense.

The real questions will be answered by supreme court as wh tries to prevent testimony.
