Oh heck yes there will be! That's the one option she doesn't have. The crazies in her own party and Republicans smelling her blood in the water aren't going to let her off that easy.
What is scaring her is that they will lose that vote."He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose." - Jim Elliot

Originally posted by Cow Poke View PostJust out of curiosity, how can Schiff keep claiming he doesn't know who the whistle blower is?
While it's possible they did this anonymously, from the way it's typically been reported, I've always assumed that the member of Schiff's staff therefore knew and knows the identify of the whistleblower. Apparently they haven't passed that information onto Schiff. I would tend to assume this is standard practice in Schiff's office as they regularly deal with sensitive and top secret information as he heads the top congressional committee so will have been trained in doing this stuff professionally. Though I guess they may well have had specific conversations about whether it was better or not for Schiff to know who the whistleblower is... if so they appear to have decided that Schiff shouldn't know who it is.
In this case the issue is whether Trump committed crimes, which has been obviously the case since Trump released his incriminating transcript. And the committee has been doing lengthy questioning under oath of various witnesses who confirmed the quid pro quo. So the original whistleblower is not the issue, though their original complaint has been repeatedly and thoroughly backed up by witness testimony. Republican's attempts to focus on the whistleblower are simply a distraction, and potentially harmful to the country insofar as they might make someone decide not to report criminal conduct in a future administration."I hate him passionately", he's "a demonic force" - Tucker Carlson, in private, on Donald Trump
"Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for democratic socialism" - George Orwell
"[Capitalism] as it exists today is, in my opinion, the real source of evils. I am convinced there is only one way to eliminate these grave evils, namely through the establishment of a socialist economy" - Albert Einstein

But, humor me, if you will.... aside from tearfully testifying that Rudy and Trump were meanies to her, what do you expect her to add to the actual charge of collusion... I mean obstruction... um... quid pro quo.... wait, now it's bribery! (Who knows what it will be tomorrow)The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
