Trump: "I want Schiff questioned at the highest level for Fraud & Treason..."

Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump

Like every American, I deserve to meet my accuser, especially when this accuser, the so-called “Whistleblower,” represented a perfect conversation with a foreign leader in a totally inaccurate and fraudulent way. Then Schiff made up what I actually said by lying to Congress......




Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump

His lies were made in perhaps the most blatant and sinister manner ever seen in the great Chamber. He wrote down and read terrible things, then said it was from the mouth of the President of the United States. I want Schiff questioned at the highest level for Fraud & Treason.....

@realDonaldTrump

....In addition, I want to meet not only my accuser, who presented SECOND & THIRD HAND INFORMATION, but also the person who illegally gave this information, which was largely incorrect, to the “Whistleblower.” Was this person SPYING on the U.S. President? Big Consequences!

allows narrowing down of possibilities, the whistleblower now must appear in public under oath. I would favor closed hearings, but Trump would likely find out who the person is when he or she shows up at the hearing. So public hearings are better for the wellbeing of the whistleblower.

It doesn't matter who is asking the questions. What matters are the answers.

Schiff et al are conduits for the information. The source of the information is Trump. He can interpret it differently; he can try to distort the information as recorded. But it all comes down to him and no one else.
