Sheila Jackson Lee disagrees with Schiff on whistleblower: 'It is important for us to hear' the testimony

Texas Democratic Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, a senior member on the House Judiciary Committee, said the Ukraine whistleblower should testify in the House impeachment inquiry of President Trump; a notable dissent from the investigation's quarterback, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff.

“The document of the whistleblower was an indicting document. The transcript was an indicting document. I do believe it is important for us to hear from the whistleblower,” Jackson Lee told reporters Wednesday following a weekly caucus meeting. “If you were in a court of law you would hold up a piece of paper that was evidence, but your witness would be able to confirm or deny the evidence having firsthand knowledge. That is a powerful addition to any truthful, deliberate investigation that may ultimately result in articles of impeachment.”

Jackson Lee said she did not want to “prejudge” how the first whistleblower should provide his testimony. “I'm going to say that the chairpersons are crafting," she said. "However, it should be done if it is going to occur.”

Well this is a first! For once I agree with something SheLiah said, though not for the same reason she said it.
