Whistleblower's lawyers say negotiations over testimony ongoing
The Hill ^ | 09/30/19 | Aris Folley

Posted on 09/30/2019 8:45:35 AM PDT by yesthatjallen

Attorneys representing the whistleblower at the center of the Ukraine controversy surrounding President Trump say negotiations over whether the individual will testify on Capitol Hill remain ongoing.

“We continue to work with both parties in the House and Senate and we understand and agree that protecting the whistleblower’s identity is paramount,” the Compass Rose Legal Group said in a statement late Sunday.

“While discussions continue to occur to coordinate and finalize logistics, no date/time has yet been set,” they added.

The statement came hours after Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, said that an agreement had been reached for the whistleblower to testify before Congress.

I thought it was settled the whistleblower was going to testify.

Is the whistleblower getting cold feet? Are Democrats still trying to find someone who can play the role of the whistleblower (like Christine Blasey Ford)?

Did Democrats believe just the alleged accusations of the alleged whistleblower would be enough to force President Trump to resign and when that didnt' work they're left scrambling to manufacture 'evidence' and create a 'motive' narrative they believe can stand-up to scrutiny?

I don’t understand why nobody can know who this so-called whistleblower is (once the position is filled). I have seen several whistleblowers interviewed over the years - their identity out in the open. If Blase-Fraud could come out in the open, so can so-called whistleblower (once the position is filled).

sounds like the kavanaugh thing all over again. remember that? can't fly, etc etc

being handled by attorneys is another similarity, and once those attorneys are known, they will be similar partisan my prediction, just like the kavanaugh deal accuser

What’s to negotiate?

Is the witness trying to avoid pleading the Fifth?

Is there a whistleblower? Or was it a committee of plotters who crafted a memo?

Yes, I am being sarcastic.

Sad to disappoint you, but Democrat, low life, scum & vermin, traitor, turncoat, Adam Schiff lied to the American people once again...no deal has yet be cut for this Rat/Rodent of humanity to testify to Congress. When and if he testifies, Trump & GOP should demand he testify in Public...where he can be truly proud of what he has done..and that way, the entire world will know who and what he is or has become!!! If not...Trumpie you should have the Congressional police arrest both he and Adam Schiff for excessive lying to the American people!!!

Or was it a committee of plotters who crafted a memo?In any event, it's an army of lawyers, who is paying for this? the leaker? Is this another quid pro quo fake attack with "free" legal representation from an army of Hillary attorneys? I haven't heard the media ask who is paying for the partisan attorneys?

The very fact the whistle blower is made public will go a long way towards indemnifying him from physical harm.

His attorneys will say that the Republicans refuse to cooperate so he reluctantly will not testify.

Remember the POS Fraud’s alleged girlfriend, who turned out to be a “composite”?
