'We're not fooling around' says House Democrat leading impeachment probe
ABC News ^ | 10/2/19 | katherine faulders

Rep. Adam Schiff, the Democrat leading the House impeachment effort, said Wednesday that any efforts by President Donald Trump and his administration to interfere with their investigation "will be considered as evidence of obstruction of justice." "We're not fooling around here," Schiff said, at a joint news conference with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. "We don't want this to drag on for months and months, which appears to be the administration's strategy." "We take this as a very sad time for our country," Pelosi, D-Calif., said. Schiff said he was "deeply concerned" about Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's effort to block department officials from testifying and said obstruction efforts could be included in articles of impeachment. "Any action like that that forces us to litigate or have to consider litigation will be considered further evidence of obstruction of justice," Schiff said. "We'll have to decide whether to litigate or how to litigate." When asked about President Trump's threatening tweets about the whistleblower, Schiff told ABC's Kyra Phillips that "the whistleblower has the right to remain anonymous." "This is a blatant effort to intimidate witnesses, it is an incitement of violence," Schiff, D-Calif., said. "The president probably doesn't realize how dangerous his statements are," Pelosi said. "We will treat the president with fairness she said," adding that the House effort would be "worthy of the Constitution of the United States." She said a full House floor vote on impeachment was not a requirement to proceed, saying that some republicans were "very nervous" about that possibility. At about the same time, House Oversight Chairman Elijah Cummings, D-Md., along with Schiff and House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman, D-N.Y., put the White House on notice that they had drafted subpoenas to compel the production of documents related to president's Ukraine phone call and related matters

Then take a vote of the whole house. Until then, playing around, is exactly what they’re doing.

Hey, Schiff-head. It won’t even get as far as a trial in the Senate because you are all scared Schiffless about discovery.

"Pelosi said. "We will treat the president with fairness she said," adding that the House effort would be "worthy of the Constitution of the United States."

Well that's laughable. Her actions so far completely undermine that claim.

Do they really think the nation doesn’t see their actions for what they are? Just another scheme to interfere with the duly elected President based on fake allegations.

Adam, your intent is irrelevant.

Your actions are foolish and bound for failure.

All fake subpoenas should be ignored without comment, except to announce that the White House, DoS and DOJ do not recognize the “whistleblower” complaint as valid, and will be investigating Schiff’s staff involvement in concocting it, as well as their travel to Ukraine.

When their audience break out in uproarious laughter, rolling on the ground, pointing at them, they think they are being respected and taken seriously.

As far as I am concerned, Trump can direct the military to shut these treasonous scumbags down.

Anytime a democrat says they are not doing something, they are doing it.

Just like when they accuse someone of doing something, they are the one’s doing it.

Up = Down. Black = white. “We choose Truth over facts”.
