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

First, this latest set of dem talking head statements was only made an hour ago. Second, you know the media turns the volume up on what dems are spouting, and the turn the volume down on what repubs might be saying. (At least they cant manage to turn down the volume of Trump himself). Third, there is push back on the right media shows, so tune in. Lastly, YOU are the push back. So stop watching leftist fake news and push back.
La Katrina is jealous of how sunken Nancy Pelosi can make her eyes appear.
“....As far as I am concerned, Trump can direct the military to shut these treasonous scumbags down.....”
Yep. Better yet, summon up the militia and allow them to do it. No rules of engagement, no courts, no judges...just cleanup on aisle 5.
i think they are trapped..unless they come up with something else., all they have is a 30 second portion of one phone call...REALLY???... in michigan last night, one of the dems that flipped a seat red last year had a town hall..it got ugly fast. Over 200 people showed up raging about gun control and impeachment..AHAHAHAHAHAH. Im tellin ya, this is gonna be a electoral disaster...
Schiff-for-Brains and Botox-by-the-Bay both have hypocritical statements filled with their own lies. Thanks Impala64ssa.
Excellent! LOL
Off topic, but Sutherland was put in that movie because they wanted a bankable star in it. He sucked.
And when you read that wonderful PARODY...
THAT wasn’t “foolin around?”
And so is President Trump.
So if Trump rightfully claims "Executive Privilege" on some matter, will that then be considered "obstruction?"
Wow, I bet he really puts the fear of God in Trump. Friggin joke.
Trump can stamp out this guy anytime he wishes, along with a dozen others. I’m sure he has stuff he’s saving on them.
He knows that the DOJ is about to lower the boom like it’s Kabul here any day now.
“Where is the GOP push back”
It is said, “When your enemy is digging himself into a hole, do not take away his shovel”
