Schiff: ‘May not be necessary’ for whistleblower to testify

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff revealed that his committee may not call on the whistleblower to testify.

The whistleblower, who has been identified as a CIA official with ties to former Vice President Joe Biden, filed a complaint within the intelligence community over a July 25 phone call between President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. During the call, Trump requested that the foreign leader investigate Biden and his son Hunter, who worked in the country.

Schiff acknowledged that his committee may not call upon the whistleblower to testify if they don't think they can protect the person's identity during a Sunday morning appearance on CBS's Face The Nation.

"Our primary interest right now is making sure that that person is protected," Schiff stated. "Indeed, now there is more than one whistleblower, that they are protected. And given that we already have the call record, we don’t need the whistleblower, who wasn't on the call, to tell us what took place during the call. We have the best evidence of that."

Schiff doesn't want his collaboration with the 'whistleblower' to be revealed.

Why not just go straight to sentencing. Save taxpayer money.

And the beauty of the rules Nancy Pelosi set up shines through.  If Schitt doesn't call the witness, then nobody will because the Republicans on the committee can't.
