First republicans had a fit about the interviews going on behind closed doors. Now they don't want public hearings. Why?
What the whistleblower stated has been corroborated by very credible people. Lets take a breath & listen to the witnesses before just dismissing what is told to the public.
We don't need the whistleblower to testify.
Whatever. Let me repeat - it doesn't matter whether the WB is required to testify or not. This entire, sad blemish on our history is just a bunch of Dims who are trying to negate the 2016 election results.
But we have multiple testimonies showing Trump did what he did. You can try to discredit the whistleblower if they come forward but what does that achieve? It doesn't make the other witness testimonies less true or strikes them from the record. So how do republicans expect that to play out? oh, this whistleblower has an agenda so we can't believe these 6 other people that corroborated it and gave evidence. in what world does that make sense?
The right, if they get their news only from right wing outlets and Fox, is completely oblivious to all the other testimony. Those sources are not reporting it, so they have not heard how overwhelming it is. To them, the only "witness" is the whistelblower - who is not given any testimony whatsoever.

In what world does it make sense that 99% of the Democrats voted to open the impeachment inquiry and 100% of the Republicans voted to oppose the impeachment inquiry? Who in their right mind is going to think that this is not politically biased?
This whole process is inherently flawed. The whistleblower is nothing but a pawn.
The whistleblower isn't needed. The complaint was corroborated by people CLOSER to the alleged actions than the whistleblower was. Getting the whistleblower to testify is a straw man argument and dog whistle for conservatives: "look over here at this inconsequential thing while the real action that you should be watching is going on over there!"
Trump can "face" his accusers: Vindman, Sondland and Taylor.
And like someone else mentioned in another thread - I hope Joe Biden can confront his accuser about corruption in Ukraine.
What's good for the goose is good for the gander, no?
i dont get it. what is the purpose of trying to get the whistleblower to testify achieve?
The smear cannons would go into overdrive - the swiftboating would be a gentle caress in comparison. Speaking up against Dear Leader is a Thought Crime that must be punished.
The conservatives need to establish an example and make sure no other peons report crimes of the high-born.

Yes it is flawed, something we can agree on. I think anyone thought we would be in this position again, the Nixon impeachment wasn't divided and to a lesser extent that was also true of Clinton but this is completely divided.
