REPORT: Democrats declare whistleblower’s testimony no longer necessary
As the most reliable and balanced news aggregation service on the internet, DML News App offers the following information published by WashingtonPost:
The whistleblower who initially unmasked President Trump’s effort to pressure Ukraine for political favors has moved steadily toward the periphery of the House impeachment inquiry as several Democrats said Thursday they have ample testimony from senior Trump administration officials to back his claims.
Democrats were once prepared to take extraordinary steps to preserve the whistleblower’s identity under questioning, considering him central to their investigation. But over the past month, they have grown cold to the idea of exposing him to additional scrutiny after several witnesses described how Trump leveraged access and military aid to secure a promise from Ukraine to launch investigations that could help his 2020 reelection bid.
The articles goes on to state the following:
“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,” said Rep. Gerald E. Connolly (D-Va.), a member of the Oversight and Foreign Affairs committees.
According to the report, there are now no active efforts to arrange for the individual’s testimony.
Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) demanded on Wednesday, “Why don’t we know who the person is who started this whole charade that Adam Schiff is now doing in the bunker of the basement of the Capitol?”
• Why don’t we know who the whistleblower is?
• Why is this so-called #impeachment “inquiry” being ran secretly in the basement of the U.S. Capitol?
• Why are the American people being left in the dark?@RepAdamSchiff owes us all answers. pic.twitter.com/1NZUqq9Fwz— Oversight Committee Republicans (@GOPoversight) October 23, 2019
The #whistleblower who started the #Ukraine phone saga, is ‘off the hook’. @TheDemocrats don’t want him/her to testify
But why deny Americans to hear the facts directly from this ‘brave’ whistleblower?

They’re not “witnesses.”
What Democrats are saying is that they don’t need the original piece of hearsay because other characters have come forward with hearsay of the hearsay.

Say it with me: the whistleblower was never the story. The story was the substance of the complaint, no matter where it led politically.
