Whistleblower Attys: Client’s Testimony Irrelevant | Talking Points Memo

It seems House Democrats and the whistleblower’s lawyers are on the same page when it comes to whether the whistleblower who shed light on President Trump’s Ukraine scheme needs to testify.

Much to the Revanchist Trump’s frustration…since he cannot personally intimidate, threaten or belittle the WB who started his impeachiness!

The whistleblower laid out the map for the Democrats to follow, and they have picked up a lot of information thanks to that. There is plenty more yet to come, especially of subpoenas are actually followed, and so far everything has supported the whistleblower report. It actually would be good to hear from them, if only to get more details on the shenanigans they witnessed in the WH, and we’ll get the Republicans screaming about the “secret with trial!” if they don’t come forward…but they have done their service to the nation and don’t need to live in fear of death by being exposed.

That’s not going to stop the Republicans from trying to out the person.

I guarantee it.

They’ve known all along. The problem has been how to leak his name without having it traced back, and they haven’t been able to solve that problem. Getting him in front of a big panel with up to 100 congresscritters and staff, would be impossible to trace the leak back.

When you’re in the middle of folks who don’t know right from wrong,
Give a little whistle!
Give a little whistle!
When you see corruption and the scourge is very strong,
Give a little whistle!
Give a little whistle!
Not just a little squeak,
Pucker up and blow.
And if your whistle’s weak, yell “DJT did it!”

Does it matter who actually pulled a fire alarm once the fire companies arrive and do their thing? They did they duty and now the firemen and women are doing theirs. In this scenario, that’s congress and its witnesses and the documents and testimony they bring.

Trump also knows how to whistle, except he uses a different orifice and you don’t want to be on the same golf course or in the cabinet room when he does it.

Oh you bet. The whistleblower’s identity is going to become the new “Steele Dossier” or “DNC Server in Ukraine”.

Any bets on how soon Trump is going to send Barr on an international trip to the “deep state”. Its a country so secretive, you can’t even find it on a map!

Actually, it’s relevant as hell. Just not necessary now to expose the whistleblower to a Deplorable state. Way too many other 16 ton weights dropping on Dotard.

Of course not. It’s incredible that with all these people testifying to gross misconduct now, none of them came forward before. Probably because there wasn’t any way for them to do so and stay anonymous and thus avoid the inevitable shitstorm, at least for a little while as things unfolded.
