The "whistleblower" said he would answer written questions from the GOP. This means that: (1) Schiff's committee could alter the answers and (2) the GOP's would not have the opportunity to cross-examine the written answers or to judge the witness by his/her appearance and demeanor on the witness stand.
The Republicans have taken leave of their senses: some of them say they don't need to hear from the whistleblower at all, while others are willing to accept written answers. By and large, none of the Republicans think it is important to put the witness on the stand... even thjough we're discussing the impeachment of a president.
Once again, the Republicans have proven themselves to be either not up to the challenge or to be complicit in the removal of an elected president for purely political reasons. Since the whole process is still nothing but a sham, the fact that the Republicans continue to play the game according to Democrat rules instead of refusing to participate at all tell me that they are being complicit.
