Whistleblower willing to answer questions? Not really.

Margaret Brennan / CBS News: Whistleblower willing to answer Republicans' questions in impeachment probe, lawyer says  —

Editor:  What the headline does not even hint at is the fact that the whistleblower  (we already know who he is) is willing to answer questions but only in writing.  "Only in writing" makes followup questions virtually impossible.  "Only in writing" eliminates the possibility of inadvertent admissions/confessions.  "Only in writing" provides cover for expressions of uncomfort or anger with the questioning.  

In America,  "only in writing" is simply not the American way.  No lawyer for the accused,  whether in a criminal trial cross examination or a preordained impeachment hearing,  would ever agree to "only in writing."   

The whistleblower is a Democrat insider working with a cadre of political and Intel advisers to create his "complaint."  He is not  and should not be immune from agressive questioning.

As has been the case with virtually all other issues used against the President,  the longer this battle over the whistlebllower lasts,  the greater the possibility of its total demise.  And,  because of this "pattern of demise,"  this immediate effort to frame the President as "unfit for office" will (also) fail.
