The transcript proves the Whistle Liar is a big fat liar...most likely he was paid to report the gossip he heard which has been proven patnently false.

Surely the Republicans know the law. Apparently they don't care about following the law, just like their leader.
How is that illegal? Whistleblower protections apply to the office/department where they work. It does not immune them from being subpoenaed by an outside agency like the House of Reps. You people need to come back down to earth.

The whistleblower cannot lay claim to separations of powers, or executive privilege. Think these things thru, before you speak out.

The GOP makes an excellent case for why, after voting for them consistently on a Federal level for 20 years, I should never ever vote for them again. Fortunately, based on 2017, 2018, and 2019 electoral outcomes, it appears I am not the only educated suburbanite to feel that way.

They're doing the same thing to the whistleblower's attorney; it's a bullying tactic. Personally I'd be more than happy to have the whistleblower testify, then we can move forward and impeach this lying crook of a President.
Dude's not a "whistleblower". Not even a little bit. He's a leaker. A democratic operative and not too bright I might add. He's going to fold like a dishrag under pressure.

When people intend to take actions or ask questions you don't like, you start blubbering about bullying. LOL. I guess that works for delicate flowers who dish and then claim the mantle of victimhood when they get flack. Pathetic and sad.

The guy is not a whistleblower, he received classified material he was not cleared for, and then only repeated secondhand hearsay. The person who leaked the info to this guy needs to be charged with violating those laws. so yes, we need this non-whistleblower to take the stand, and tell us who the leaker is, who the people in Schiff's office are, that he leaked to, and tell us how they all colluded to try and take down a president, over hearsay evidence from a felony leaker.

Even if everything these clowns say was true, it's still not illegal for Trump to try an investigate possible corruption by the Bidens, or the foreign interference that took place during the 2016 election campaign.

True, the Whistle Liar is a disgrace to the term of Whistleblower. Let's cross exam this butthurt liar and expose his ass.

Cool, then vote for the $40 trillion dollar plans that Warren and Sanders are proposing. Join the millions of other stupid people who will vote for those fools.

He will probably plead the 5th, since he knows how many people will go to jail, or have their careers ruined, if he opens his mouth and tells the truth.
