"Whistleblower willing to answer Republicans' questions in impeachment probe"

[archives]

"A lawyer for the whistleblower who reported concerns about the president's dealings with Ukraine told CBS News he offered to have Republicans on the House Intelligence Community submit questions to his client directly without having to go through the committee's Democratic majority."

"Attorney Mark Zaid told CBS News he contacted Representative Devin Nunes, the committee's ranking member, on Saturday to say his client is willing to answer Republicans' questions under oath and penalty of perjury if lawmakers submitted written questions to the whistleblower's legal team. The inspector general of the intelligence community, a Trump appointee, could verify the whistleblower's identity in order to satisfy the committee's minority members while protecting the individual's anonymity."

"Previously, the whistleblower had offered to answer questions under oath and in writing if submitted by the House Intelligence Committee as a whole. This new offer would be a direct channel of communication with the Republicans"

Ouch, looks like the right attacking the process is falling apart, how is Nunes, should I say White House, going to respond?

Why will he not answer them directly himself?

Why will he not answer them directly himself?

Did the Donald answer Mueller's questions directly?

Donald is not an accuser.

The Republicans ONLY question is "Who are you?" "So we can terrorize you and your Family and make you wish you were never born".

Can't do that, last thing they want to be found guilty of is using their position to expose a whistleblower

Hmmmph! What kind of 'questions' do you think they would ask?

No, but he wasn't a private citizen receiving death threats without SS protection, and he did take the pencil and pen approach

Oh, if it came to that, I'm sure the White House would instruct Nunes to ask if he/she ever worked for any Democrat, ever attended a Democrat function, ever gave a Democrat money, ever knew a Democrat, who he/she voted for, etc', the usual material they could frame to put together a character assassination

It's MORE than just ONE person who felt Trump committed an offense. Dedicated, career people. Let ALL the 'complainants' answer the same questions. Probably a few Republicans in there.

This is one of your most ridiculous attempts at deflection. The WB is the accuser. He should not need a team of lawyers to answer for him.

[Celticguy]

Willing ? It is not required that he be willing.

Hardly a deflection, reality, the whistle blower has already said what he intended to say, and now, just to appease those criticizing the process, is willing to answer any questions they have in writing. Actually quite accommodating of him given he doesn't have to any of that
