Schiff says whistleblower (/leaker Eric Ciaramella) testimony is 'redundant and unnecessary'

Washington (CNN) — House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff made clear on Saturday that the Ukraine whistleblower won't be testifying in the impeachment inquiry, arguing that the individual's testimony would be "redundant and unnecessary."

House Republicans earlier Saturday had submitted a list of witnesses to Democrats that they'd like to testify as part of the chamber's impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump and Ukraine. The list included the whistleblower and former Vice President Joe Biden's son Hunter Biden.

"The impeachment inquiry, moreover, has gathered an ever-growing body of evidence -- from witnesses and documents, including the President's own words in his July 25 call record -- that not only confirms, but far exceeds, the initial information in the whistleblower's complaint. The whistleblower's testimony is therefore redundant and unnecessary. In light of the President's threats, the individual's appearance before us would only place their personal safety at grave risk," Schiff wrote to California Rep. Devin Nunes, the top Republican on the House Intelligence Committee.

The comments by Schiff, one of the Democrats in charge of the inquiry, are the clearest yet that the whistleblower won't testify in the probe, a dramatic shift since the beginning of the impeachment inquiry in September when the individual's testimony was viewed as paramount.

pencil neck has had his way with little girls and boys
and with coverup at the HIGHEST LEVELS.
murder/rape approved, he is - and has been.
a regular Epstein-Mueller approved killer.
no wonder he schemes to take down the ELECTED PRESIDENT.

Without fanfare or long verbage, Pelosi, Schiff & Nadler are going down the political drain within the next week or two, if they do not allow the Republican Party to have their choices of folks to come and testify on the Schiff committee!!! The American people are already wise to the 100% Pelosi, Schiff, Nadler, Media, farce, behind the locked door criminal & crooked, investigation.

I once again remind those moderate & Blue Democrats of the House...”You folks will all be defeated, come November, 2020 if you ever cast a vote to impeach Pootus, Trump...BEWARE!!! Pelosi cannot save your seats ever!!!

He doesn’t testify, then nothing that he claims is used in the impeachment. We will not tolerate a kangaroo court Mr. Schiff. You could find your self on a short plank!

The whistleblower law is wrong. The idea that someone can “spy” on the Whitehouse, gather materials, influence others to take their position (Like Taylor) and prepare a complaint of opinions and innuendos to take down a President is not democracy in action. It's treason.

These are the same tactics that the Rats used in the Kavanaugh persecution. This will all fall apart but not until they get the most out of the daily drumbeat and drip drip drip of impeachment to keep Trump’s poll numbers down. Then something else will be cooked up. It’s probably already to go now. The only thing that can squash this circus is for Barr and Durham to start indicting some people. The Senate could go on offense as well. But.....

If McConnel had any balls this leaker/traitor/coup conspirator would be the first the Senate calls

You took the words right off of my keyboard.

This is reminding me of Lost, when Ben Linus was followed without question because he was supposedly the one person who could speak to Jacob, the island's true master. Locke called him out on it and demanded to see Jacob himself. So Ben led Locke to see an old cabin where Jacob lived.

All that was inside was an empty chair that Ben started talking to and screaming at, insisting that "Jacob" was sitting there and that Locke didn't believe enough to see him.

Yeah, that's Schiff right now: a bug-eyed "leader" telling us there's someone there and we have to accept his word... but we aren't supposed to see him.

....
Disagree. McConnell should dismiss the case immediately when it hits the senate. He cannot dignify the lunatic left by even starting a trial. McConnell should have written his speech by one. It should be polished and ready to go.

Schitt is the Wizard of OOZE, the land of the DEMONRATS whose lies like filthy pus from a festering wound are celebrated as being nuggets of golden truth.

Folks, this is because he has NOTHING! That’s why this A-hole is back on the “obstruction” charge!

Just like everything else that has failed with regards to impeachment, this too is going to fail!

This is my takeaway from this!

This is exactly what happened with Mueller. Carter and Popadopoulos were used to launch the Mueller process be. Papadopoulos got drunk with some Australian diplomats who used his drunken talk to help the FBI create a plausible story of Trump colluding with Russia. The Dossier and planted news stories frosted the cake.so we have this jerk setting off a chain of events with plants and folks sympathetic to Schiff creating a fake impeachment.

Schiff is only going to allow the witnesses he ok’s and ask only the questions he deems appropriate.
