Senators Ask Schiff Why He Hired Colleague of Alleged Whistleblower

Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee Chairman Ron Johnson and other Republican senators asked lead House impeachment manager Adam Schiff during the Senate impeachment trial Thursday why his committee hired Sean Misko, a former National Security Council staffer who was reportedly close to the alleged whistleblower, a day after the July 25 phone call between President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

On July 26, 2019, the House Intelligence Committee hired one of those individuals, Sean Misko.

Vindman, and an individual alleged as the whistleblower.

Schiff refused to answer any part of the question, claiming it was an attempt to smear his staff and out the whistleblower - whose identity he also claims he does not know.

Now this question refers to allegations in a newspaper article which are circulating smears on my staff and ask me to respond to those smears and I will not dignify those smears on my staff by giving them any credence whatsoever.

Question asked about former NSC staff Sean Misko saying to the alleged Whistleblower "We need to do everything we can to take out the President" at an NSC meeting.

Johnson's question referred to a recent RealClearInvestigations report in which Misko and the alleged whistleblower, CIA analyst Eric Ciaramella, were overheard expressing anger over Trump's new "America First" foreign policy.
