Schiff: 'We may have to follow with impeachment' if Trump admin won't hand over material
Washington Examiner ^ | 19-05-19 | Caitlin Yilek

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff said impeachment proceedings could bolster congressional efforts to obtain information the Trump administration won't release. “It provides an additional tool,” the California Democrat told CBS’ “Face the Nation” Sunday. “What we have been doing is we have been gradually escalating the tactics we need to use to get information for the American people. So we began by asking for voluntary cooperation, and that was not forthcoming. We followed with subpoenas, we followed with contempt. We may follow with inherent contempt, and we may have to follow with impeachment.” The White House has refused to provide information Congress requested relating to President Trump’s tax returns and special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.

Now imagine what the democrats would be doing if republicans did this to Obama.

And wonder why the “republicans” are providing zero defense.

Democrat scum will hound Trump to his grave just to make an example of him.

Adam Schiff is just busier than a billy goat with two sets of reproductive apparatus.

Pencil-Neck had his opportunity to make a difference a few months back, when he could have produced everything he has and presented it to the Mueller Inquisition, which was eagerly awaiting just such a breakthrough. But NO, Adam, you didn’t produce.

Mazie Hirono’s message to men (this includes Adam Schiff, though I use the term loosely) ‘Just shut up and step up.’

It takes a prison.....with Hillary Clinton in it.

Our children must be taught and trained.

We don’t want our kids growing up to be criminals!

Hillary Clinton must be their teacher!

She can teach them that committing crimes will put you in prison.

We must put Hillary Clinton in prison for her crimes!

We must do it for the children!

He’s petrified of what’s coming and this is the only way he now has to try and defend himself. The commie SOB needs to do the rope dance.

If you really stop and look at it, you will see that most every “professional politician” is nothing more than a talker...They, most of them, have never worked a real job accomplishing something...They smile, shake hands, and talk a lot...

Even when they get elected, they do nothing much more than talk to each other in Congress...

It takes them forever to finally get a bill that’s really meaningful to the American people started, much less passed...

The only time, and I mean ONLY TIME, they come TO the people is when it’s election time and they need real people...

I don’t think they have a clue as to how pissed a lot of Americans are about the way politics are being guided...

all correct, true.

plus, they don’t care how much they alienate the American public... so long as there are contributors (and there are always people who want to purchase some kind of law or stop some law, or otherwise buy some favor or special treatment by the all-powerful govt)
