Lindsey Graham wants Adam Schiff to testify in Senate impeachment trial

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) wants House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) to testify in the Senate’s impeachment trial.
According to Breitbart, the Republican senator told Fox’s Sean Hannity on Wednesday that Schiff must be called because of his staff’s contacts with the infamous whistleblower whose complaint lies at the basis of the Democrats’ ongoing impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump.
“One of the witnesses will be Adam Schiff because if he, in fact, did meet with the whistleblower, and coached the guy up, I think that’s relevant to the impeachment inquiry itself,” Graham said. The senator also suggested that he could dismiss the trial altogether if the whistleblower does not step out from the shadows.
Graham: Schiff must testify
Republicans have repeatedly said that Schiff must be called to testify after he lied about his staff’s contacts with the whistleblower, according to RealClearPolitics. Schiff initially said that the whistleblower would testify “very soon,” but he has since rejected requests from Republicans for the whistleblower’s “redundant and unnecessary” testimony.
Republicans have charged that Schiff only changed his tune once his office’s contacts with the whistleblower were discovered, and that Schiff must testify to clear up questions about any alleged coordination with the whistleblower. Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) forced the issue during the first public hearing Wednesday, accusing Schiff of being the only person in Congress with direct knowledge of the whistleblower’s identity.
Schiff’s response was predictable: that he does not know the identity of the whistleblower and that Jordan was lying. Reacting to the day’s events, Graham told Hannity that he would not ordinarily have a House member testify “as a matter of oversight,” but that this was an important matter that called for it.
“As a matter of oversight, I’m not going to call a House member, but if you impeach the president of the United States, I want to find out if in fact Schiff and his staff met with the whistleblower,” Graham said, according to The Hill.
Republican lawmakers have also echoed President Trump in demanding that he have the opportunity to face his accuser. But Democrats have argued that a stream of witnesses over the past few weeks have made the whistleblower’s testimony irrelevant — despite his central role in launching the inquiry — and that the whistleblower is entitled to remain anonymous.
A trial based on “hearsay”
In the lead-up to the hearing Wednesday, Schiff warned members of the House Intelligence Committee in a memo that they cannot name the whistleblower during proceedings. The whistleblower has been unofficially reported to be CIA analyst Eric Ciaramella, but the mainstream media has kept his name out of the news, satisfying demands from Democrats and his lawyers to keep him safe from “retaliation.”
The Democrat-controlled Intelligence panel voted Wednesday against subpoenaing the whistleblower to testify, confirming Republican fears that the impeachment hearings, as per a rules vote last month, would be led almost unilaterally by Schiff. When the process moves on to the Senate, though, Graham will have significant control over the procedures.
For his part, Graham suggested that the whistleblower, who reportedly worked with Joe Biden during the Obama administration, must be called to answer for any possible involvement in Biden’s efforts to stop a Ukrainian investigation into Burisma Holdings, a company on whose board the former vice president’s son, Hunter, sat. The South Carolina senator also intimated that he would not allow a Senate trial based on “hearsay” to move forward, especially without the whistleblower’s testimony.
“Any trial in the Senate must expose the whistleblower so the president can confront his accuser,” Graham said. “I will not accept a trial in the Senate until I know who the whistleblower is.”

Why, the impeachment isn't about him, it's about Trump. Trump can knock on his door can't he?
...oh wait, he would rather accuse the press of twisting his words, instead of actually talking to another human being. He has no idea how to listen or how to address anyone.
