What's this?

Because the attorney for the whistleblower is the conduit, through whom


any subpoena, or request to testify, intended for the whistleblower, would be made.

If they happen to call the whistleblower to testify, not knowing that it's the whistleblower, well, then the identity of the person who blew the whistle would still be unknown. If the whistleblower is Vindman, for example, we don't know that, although we do know there is a Lt Col named Vindman.

In that sense, it is best that Schiff not know the name, because nobody could infer the identity by wondering why this or that witness, seemingly close to the situation, was never called.

  The identity of the whistleblower is immaterial at this point. -- hokie in cville 11/15/2019 3:55PM
  So, Schiff can lie because it's immaterial... -- hoothat 11/15/2019 3:59PM
