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

If Schit is not fooling around, why hasnt there been an impeachment
inquiry vote?
Schitthead wants President Trump to start calling him a fool.
i watched that...Pelosi was begging the media for questions about health care etc...she looked rattled. Even a reporter asked “arent you over doing this based on one phone call??. Trump screwed their big production by releasing that phone call!...
They are so desperate to hide their failed coup that they would risk an armed response. Cornered rats react on instinct.
Where’s the GOP push back?! All I see and here in the press is Democrats and leftist talking heads - if it weren’t for Trump’s tweets I’d doubt there was any push back occurring at all!
If the GOP has to make their own news website then they should do so.
So Trump is guilty of obstruction of justice if he resists Democrat efforts to destroy his presidency?
Hell plead guilty and the Democrats can take their impeachment drive and shove it where the sun dont shine.
I will believe Schiff is serious if he first starts an impeachment investigation of Biden’s gross betrayal of his office, including misuse of taxpayer funds by threatening to withhold them if the prosecutor who was investigating a Ukrainian company and Biden’s son for corruption was not fired! This was what prompted Pres. Trump’s request for info regarding Crowdstrike and evidently some brief discussion of Biden’s inappropriate threats. If it turns out that Biden did commit felonies, which by the way he publicly stated he did and does warrant investigation, then Pres. Trump has done nothing wrong, is merely carrying out the duties of his office. Why is this so hard for the likes of McConnell to say this?
They would and are.
POTUS - I love the smell of Democrat fear in the morning.
SQUEAL, liddle piggies stuck in the mud.
Full vote on full articles of impeachment, not “Orange Man Bad Impeachment Investigative hearing” or whatever word salad title they can come up with.
Why doesn’t POTUS tweet out the audio of Shit getting duped by those Russian comedians?
Schiffty talks like a guy with a paper anus.
Curious how a man with such poor judgement lead in the judgement of another?
“We’re not fooling around here,”
Pelosi and Schiff, putting the “con” in congress!
If they were serious about impeachment they would have already had the vote count, they dont because they dont have the votes..what they are doing now is what they have been doing for 3 years now, just pushing things along to hurt Trump til the 2020 election
I think I heard that the Republican elected officials were seen cowering in some old WWII bomb shelter in Montana.
He makes Deputy Barney Fife look like Steve McQueen.
Yeah he did. Rush is right.
I think that’s why Adam Shiff ran with his lies. He didn’t expect the transcript to be out. So he continued with the plan to smear Trump with false allegations even though it meant instant refutation.
And then the transcript pointed everyone to Biden’s corruption.
