House Intelligence Committee chair Adam Schiff confirmed on Sunday that his committee had made an agreement with the whistleblower at the heart of the Ukraine scandal to hold a hearing.
Cue the 24/7 watch of who enters or leaves the premises…
An unfiltered testimony from someone with inside information about the Trump administration…man, the White House must have brains all over from the heads exploding. I wonder if this will be public, they may keep it private to protect the whistleblower…I hope it’s public though, Americans really need to hear from this person and why they decided it was critically important to make the complaint.
I expect the administration to sue to stop this from happening though, there is no way they can survive this kind of testimony, as names will be named and more witnesses will be brought into the light. And, when (not if, the courts have to allow this) they testify, we’ll see the Republicans in full on panic trying to tie the WB to everything from Benghazi to Clinton’s emails…someone will call them a liberal plant, liar, whatever they can. The desperation will be lovely to watch.
Zero chance I think, but they will probably be quick like a bunny with the transcript.
A fleet of black-windowed SUVs can come in handy here. Some decoying, etc to protect America from White ISIS.
Is it wrong that I’m smiling?
Hells no!
They’re moving fast on this and, I’m loving it. Hopefully we get a House Vote before the end of the Year.
Not a fun time to be occupying the Oval Trailer… Lots of shoddy resumes getting updated / bigly exaggerated.
They still have to come and go from somewhere… This guy is not going to be anonymous for very long.
Giuliani or Trump will leak his name.
How about Thanksgiving?
Maybe this law firm has a plan to deal with leaky old men. OTOH aren’t there some entrances to the WH where in the past at least presidents’ girlfriends were ushered in and no one got wind of it?
@drriddle It’s like Evelyn Mulwray said to Jakes Gittes, “I don’t get tough with anyone. My lawyer does.”
If you mean JFK, everybody had wind, they just chose not to write about it.
And quick like a bunny the flacks will “question” it. I can hear the phrasing of the questions and concern trolling already.
But I still think Trump is toast. Impeached, indicted, sent packing back to NY, where people will throw garbage at him. The jig is up.
All over but the jailing.
I leave the best for others to say.
I would imagine some of this hinges on keeping his/her identity private. Nunes may be an impediment.
Um, they are a bit late to call this a rapid response.
They must have established procedures. I don’t say they’ll work, but there must be a whole raft of measures they take.
Move On is fundraising for the whistleblower’s legal fees which will be huge. Please go to their web page and donate what you can.
Isn’t Cipollone the lawyer who filed a brief claiming the president couldn’t be investigated? Or maybe these two are planning a trapped response? “I dunnit” would work.
