House Democrats say there is ample evidence to move forward in the impeachment inquiry without asking for testimony from the whistleblower, The Washington Post reported.
Several House Democrats said Thursday that obtaining testimony from the whistleblower, whose report started the impeachment inquiry, has become less of a priority as senior Trump administration officials have supplied enough information on Trump’s controversial interactions with Ukraine, according to the newspaper.
“I think it’s quite clear we have a surfeit of evidence that corroborates in full every aspect of what happened and the policy they were pursuing,” Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.), who sits on the Oversight and Foreign Affairs committees, told the Post.
A person familiar with conversations between the whistleblower and the House investigators told the Post there are no current efforts to have the whistleblower testify.
The Hill reached out to House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff's (D-Calif.) office for comment.

This was the plan all along
Bait and switch
#Schiffyism
Rep. Gerald Connelly (D-Va) is America’s first true fascist psychopath in Congress since the 1930’s. He is so evil even other leftists don’t like him.
If he lived in Germany in the 1930’s, he would have become one of Hitler’s right-hand men. He’s that evil.
As a Jewish guy from a Holocaust family, I know a Nazi when I hear one.
There will be impeachment. Some have known this for quite some time. What they’re doing now is twisting the arms of enough GOP Senators to make a conviction. And when it happens, the country by and large won’t give a damn.
Stone soup. Don’t need the rock any more.
Let’s gitter done!
Vote on Articles of Impeachment before Thanksgiving.
Let us have this fight. We’re ready.
It was a composite character Democrats created to spread rumors and gossip.
They probably tried to find someone to play the role in public but either no one would step up or they realized they could never pull it off.
The D’s still haven’t come up with a single shred of evidence. Even all their machinations have failed at this, as their lies have blown up
In their faces one by one. ( which has been pretty amazing, imho). About all they can do is try milking their fake headlines until Election Day
They absolutely don’t want him questioned by Republicans. Will expose the whole scam.
Nice try at dodging the trap you laid for yourself Rats. Doubt you will be successful.
They got caught changing the rules to permit hearsay so they moved the goalpost
I am beginning to think there is another plan in play here.
What if the whole purpose of this harassment is to create a bargaining chip to be used to get Trump to back off of investigations into members of the deep state.
“We will cease this constant drumbeat of anti-Trump news and threats if you drop the various investigations that are on-going.”
I hope Trump doesn’t fall for it
You’re full of crap on conviction and that most of the country won’t give a damn..
Trump will never back off on going after the bastards that have abused him like this.
The absolutely totally corrupt biased writer is also a “late night news dump” of the organic kind. Look at how she inserted the word “dispage” into what should have been a straight analytical paragraph and lied about Trump asking for an investigation of the Bidens when the transcript of his talk with the Ukrainian leader clearly NEVER mentioned Biden.
This writer is a prime example of the shitheads that now infest the newsrooms of America, and as a lifelong, once cardcarrying journalist (from DC to Nam), I resent the hell out of this kind of smear, unethical and biased writing.
If she wants an Op-Ed piece to rant in, write one. Don’t fuck with the facts in an article.
Uh ... What? It’s become pretty obvious to anyone paying attention that this “whistleblower” doesn’t exist. Which is why they’re fervently trying to say the “whistleblower’s” testimony doesn’t matter.
You’re either trolling or COMPLETELY behind the curve.
Dropped letters in the word “disparage”. My fault.
Step away from the bong.
I have two liberal friends who now avoid political conversations out of pure embarrassment. I bet I'm not alone.
