Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina) says the identity of the whistleblower must be made known in order for impeachment to even be considered in the U.S. Senate.

Graham on Fox: I consider any impeachment in the House that doesn't allow us to know who the whistleblower is to be invalid, because without the whistleblower complaint, we wouldn't be talking about any of this. — Chad Pergram (@ChadPergram) November 10, 2019

He also said that without Hunter Biden being called as a witness (in addition to the whistleblower’s identity being made known), it would be a “joke.”

“If they don’t call the whistleblower in the House, this thing is dead on arrival in the Senate.”

As it should be. You can't pick and choose what you want to hear. The whole truth and nothing but the truth. https://t.co/xK5reqJSnl — Eric Lintz (@LintzEric) November 10, 2019

And as we know, making the whistleblower’s identity known is not currently on the Democrats’ to-do list.
