The whistle blower expected to testify before the House Intelligence Committee should not be allowed to discuss mere hearsay, but should be limited to what he personally knows to be fact, declared Peter Thomas, Chairman of The Conservative Caucus.
“The witness should tell the committee only what he himself observed”, said Thomas. “If there are other matters that he thinks the committee should look into, the whistleblower should tell the committee exactly who provided him with his information so that they can also be called to testify.”
Thomas pointed out that standard rules prohibiting hearsay and giving the opportunity to cross examine the real accusers are a vital part of American’s system of justice. “The rush to impeach President Trump, without hard evidence, must not be allowed to go forward. Bring in the witnesses, and find out if their stories hold up under questioning.”
The Conservative Caucus is a grassroots public policy action organization, formed in 1974.
