The question I have been asking myself is this all happened when the democrats had hope “russia gate wasn’t a bust” they still had 2020. now this impeachment nonsense with nobody that has a chance against trump in 2020. What happens if these people lose this impeachment? Will it cause a trump induced depression? Will it completely destroy the Democratic Party? Will these people become more dangerous?

What ARE Democrats so afraid of anyway ?
If the whistleblower comes forth then there is a chance he or she will be completely roasted by the right wing media. He will be crucified by Fox News and all over the Internet. His or her life will be completely ruined by an endless barrage of character assassinations and mud-slinging by the Republicans to try to discredit any testimony.
The result would be NO WHISTLEBLOWER WOULD EVER COME FORTH EVER AGAIN!!!! Especially a Republican one.
I have heard Schiff say there is no reasons for the whistleblower come forth because the existing testimonies are plenty enough to show Trump is guilty of the articles of impeachment currently be considered.
Whistleblower's tesitmony will only make the case against impeachment stronger. So what is the motivation of the Republicans? The whistleblower is not accusing the president of anything. The whistleblower just got Congress to listen to certain people's testimonies about the call.
So who cares where the crime tip came from as long as there is justice? Again, why does it matter to know the whistleblower's identity at all is an important question.

I think we all know by now that the original "compl-ain't" had it all wrong to start with.

This will be exposed to THE HILT soon enough and *Schiff and Company* are doing damage control already
This will end up being the biggest failure (so far) for Democrats

No, he will most likely resign in order to save Republican Senate seats just like last time:

(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced today analysis of Obama-era White House visitor logs that detail meetings of controversial CIA employee Eric Ciaramella, who had been assigned to the White House. Ciaramella reportedly was detailed to the Obama White House in 2015 and returned to the CIA during the Trump administration in 2017. The logs also reveal Alexandra Chalupa, a contractor hired by the DNC during the 2016 election who coordinated with Ukrainians to investigate President Trump and his former campaign manager Paul Manafort, visited the White House 27 times.

The HoaxBlower "Compl-ain't" is tainted 6 ways from Sunday
A controversial whistleblower who allegedly reported second-hand on President Donald Trump’s private conversation with the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky visited the Obama White House on numerous occasions, according to Obama era visitor logs obtained by Judicial Watch.
Last week Real Clear Investigation’s first reported the whistleblower’s name. It is allegedly CIA officer Eric Ciaramella. His name, however, has been floating around Washington D.C. since the leak of Trump’s phone call. It was considered an ‘open secret’ until reporter Paul Sperry published his article. Ciaramella has never openly stated that he is the whistleblower and most news outlets are not reporting his name publicly.
He was detailed to the National Security Counsel during the Obama Administration in 2015 and was allegedly sent back to the CIA in 2017, after a number of people within the Trump White House suspected him of leaking information to the press, according to several sources that spoke with SaraACarter.com.

Schiff is running this like a Grand Jury. That was his specialty before becoming a Congressman. Grand Jurys hear the prosecutor, witness testimony, then find the defendant guilty, or exonerated.

Except in this case the accuser is going to be The US House of Representatives when the trial reaches the Senate.
The whistleblower is the equivalent of an anomonous tip.

That is not what a grand jury does. They hear the prosecutor’s evidence and if needed witness testimony, to decide if there is enough to bring the case to trial. They DO NOT decide innocence or guilt.
