    Was the whistleblower acting in his/her capacity as a CIA Agent? Proof please.

    Now that Schiff for brains knows he has stepped in Schiff up to his fetlocks, it is highly doubtful Eric Ciaramella, Schiff for brains or any of the others will ever see a senate hearing room as they are slowly figuring out this latest attempt has fizzled out just like the twenty or so other "bombshells" they have manufactured.
    I doubt the vote will ever be taken in the house.
    Isn't this all too delicious?

    :roflol:

    Do you have PROOF that they Weren't (acting in their Capacity as a CIA Agent)?

    As to any BLANKET Assertion that the WB is not "protected"--The Burden of Proof would be on the person CLAIMING that The Officer Was NOT working in that capacity.

    ^Funny how that works. :salute:

    You don't know, but you're assuming he is hiding something.
    Sounds like you're cooking up some lame conspiracy theory.
    While the bloke says he won't be adding anything to this process,
    hence no need to get him as a witness.

    It's just a tactic for Trump to stall things.

    Why do people register here just to post Moscow Pundit stories that so many other members can and do regularly post anyway?

    Why you always allow a fact witness to decide if they testify or not.

    Sure he is, he conspired with the witnesses on what questions not to answer.

    Schiff is a scumbag. I would love to have him under oath and Ted Cruz asking him some questions. The nation would flip our on how disgusting that bug eyed freak Schiff really is.

    No, that'd be stupid.

    They can question him regarding what crimes they think he's committed. There's not a single reason to not afford him the same deference that you or I would get.

    I want to see Schiff **** himself under oath. That's likely to happen a whole lot sooner than Trump testifying...

    We'll let him prove that himself when he's subpoenaed. Last I knew the CIA was strictly foreign surveillance, I'll let you connect the dots.

    The real question there is did Schiff have contact with the whistleblower prior to the whistleblower contacting the IG. Subpoena both their phone records.

    What does any potential witness have to contribute is the appropriate criterion in determining witness selection.

    Yes, Trump's gagging Mulvaney, Bolton, Pompeo and others with insider information to share is the primary example of obstructing the course of justice, but "What does ____ have to hide?" can still be asked of anyone, I suppose.

    Credible reports of Nunes' secretly colluding with the corrupt former Ukrainian prosecutor clearly demands he be questioned under oath.

    What does he have to hide?

    Absolutely not. Dirty Donnie's crime happened first. When they get done with DD, I'm sure Schiff will be happy to document the sequence of events for the record.

    How is any of this collusion? Regrettably, in order to discern truth from fiction, we need Ukrainian testimony on the matter(although we got testimony from the Ukrainian President and their prime minister and we seem to have dismissed it.)

    Nunes committed no crime by talking to a Ukrainian(anymore than former AG Sessions committed a crime for talking to a Russian. Thank you, Andy McCabe for that wonderful waste of tax payer dollars.)

    Obviously, presuming what Nunes may come up with as an explanation of his clandestine meeting with the corrupt Ukrainian prosecutor, or what subpoenaed Trump insiders Mulvaney, Bolton, Perry, Pompeo and others might reveal under oath, is not very useful in the effort to expose the truth.

    Everyone involved coming clean under oath, and not being obstructed from doing so, is essential. Presumptions may be reasonable or unreasonable, but facts are facts, and obstructing their being shared is not helpful.

    The POTUS makes a good point: Is this going to happen to future Presidents? Make a claim, be it validated or not, and then subponea testimony for said claims? Are we really going to have kabuki theater as a permanent feature of government?

    This is why the power of Impeachment needs to be transferred over to the Senate. Just as the Framers wisely said treaties/wars should be relegated to the Senate, Pelosi's actions have made clear that the House of Representatives cannot handle this responsibility and power.

    Fake Don's whining is indisputably self-serving. Are future corrupt presidents to be above the law? One hopes not.

    "Let's obstruct the testimony of those who possess intimate knowledge of alleged wrongdoing, so that the facts can be kept hidden," is not a suppression of truth that serves the US. The Founding Fathers rejected such privileges of divine right.

    A hyper-partisan solution that does not serve the nation.

    Not necessarily. I have a blind trust that even Democratic Senators would do the right thing. Impeachment was not meant to be a toy, but was meant to be a serious action in removing an elected President from office.
