That’s… not… How it works…
even in court of law you don’t have a right to know the identity of your accuser judge feel it places them at unforeseen risk.
You will notice how Republican want to attack the character of the whistleblower and not his complaint.
If the House acts, he will be sitting before a Judge in the Senate. They will doubtless have witnesses to call that probably weren’t called in the House.
The Senate isn’t a court of law, impeachment is a purely political process not a legal one.
He will be in front of a judge. Hopefully the Senate will consider some of the evidential rules that have built up in this country over several hundreds of years of history. You hopefully don’t say “this is political, we don’t need no stinkin’ rules of justice and fairness”.
There are, after all, more than a few lawyers in Congress.
You know that those evidential rules allow witness to speak anonymously, but again the whole reason why Republican are so forced on the identity of the WB is so they can attack their character.
No, they weren’t. Quit repeated baaaaaad falsehoods.

The judge would be Chief Justice Roberts.
CanadianJudo:Yes in a court of law, when is Trump going on trial in front of a Judge.

So? It’s still not a criminal case.
Hmm, I wonder if this is the little detail that was missing from fat donald’s Ukraine memo.

Hmm, I also wonder if this is the reason why Rick Perry was involved.

Smyrna:Yeah…I know and what a coincidence that it allows the leaker to label themself a whistleblower? Is hearsay allowed in a court of law? Why would that have been changed…and so recently?
The leaker had already filled his form out using the old form, not the new one. He is allowed whistleblower protections under both forms and more importantly under the law.
Read the law, Smyrna. It hasn’t been changed, only Congress can change it.
And maybe stop blindly believing the sources that told you otherwise, because they weren’t just wrong they were wilfully misleading.
No he isn’t, the law in question covers wrong doing by people in the intelligence community, it isn’t a license to spy on the Presidents phone calls.
Why did Schiff lie about meeting with the whistler? Strange.
You got him now!
Camp:More evidence of the accusations falling apart.
Same MO as Kav…This is not going to end well for Schiff and Pelosi.
Belongs in Judiciary and needs a house vote…THEN R can subpoena witnesses and THEN the fun will start.
Sorry Nancy, not this time…
I see…“evidence of the accusations falling apart”…because there are more of them now.
How does that work?
It’s kinda like “lack of convictions is proof of a coverup.”
There was nothing illegal or violated any ethics rules or standards so this is just more of the same political stunt.
The scandal is very very real.
There is no shortage of globalist CIA operatives who want to get rid of the patriot and are willing to testify to having heard from a friend or colleague that false media reports planted by the CIA are true. Lying to justify powerplays is what the CIA do.
Did he? Was he asked if he met with the wb? And wasn’t it a staffer and not him directly?
Don’t forget Schumer’s warning about what Trump would face for getting sideways with the CIA.
Yes he lied, he said none of them had met with the WB.
