Adam Schiff Closes Impeachment Hearing Denying Knowledge of ‘Whistleblower’: It Is ‘False’
Hannah Bleau 13 Nov 2019

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) closed Wednesday’s public impeachment hearing by denying any knowledge of the identity of the so-called “whistleblower,” whose complaint sparked the House Democrats’ impeachment inquiry.

Schiff concluded Wednesday’s impeachment hearing with a final denial of any knowledge of the identity of the “whistleblower” – a denial he initially made after Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) stated that Schiff was the “only member” who knows the identity of the individual.

“I do not know the identity of the whistleblower, and I’m going to make sure that identity is protected,” Schiff initially responded:

@GOPLeader

.@Jim_Jordan to Chairman Schiff: "Of the 435 members of Congress, you are the only Member who knows who the whistleblower is, and your staff is the only staff who has had a chance to talk with that individual.

"We would like that opportunity. When might that happen?"

Protected why?   First of all, the whistleblower doesn't qualify AS a whistleblower.  Secondly, even if he did, there is no requirement or guarantee of anonymity.... especially considering the complaint is against the President of the USA.   Thirdly, anyone that believes a word coming out of Schiff's mouth is a damned fool.

I seldom am able to listen to Rush, even if/when so inclined, but I was in my car some this AM and he pointed out how absurdly Schiffty lied. Schiifty cannot reconcile his claim not to know the identity of the leakblower with his threat to punish Rs who use the leakblower's name during the public hearing.
