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

FU Schiff for brains.
Someone needs to explain to this moron and his cohorts that WE are not playing around either.
This asshole should be drawn and quartered, and head put on a Pike on top of the Washington Monument as a warning to all of the lefties in the country, IMO.
“We don’t want this to drag on for months and months, which appears to be the administration’s strategy.”
Yeah... producing the call transcript within a couple of days was clearly waaaaaaaay too long.
They’re so full of crap.
Give me a break... I'll bet a sawbuck she's never read the constitution of the United States.!
Nancy Palousy, your so full of crap your eyes are brown.. :(
Go ahead morons. It’s your funeral.
Schiff is threatening to subpoena the White House for documents. He must need new material for his stand-up parody routines.
I thought a parody was fooling around..schiff is a fool
According to the Democrats over the last 2 and a half years, they have introduced into our justice system, “Guilty until proven innocent” and “obstruction of justice” for defending yourself. Goodbye USA, hello USSA.
As usual, Democrat projection. They want to drag this out while blaming it on Republicans.
They’ve been fooling around since before the election.
Hey Adam the Patriots aren’t fooling around. You are going to hang.
She knew what she was doing when she filed two different nominating forms.
Hawaii got a different one than the other 49 states.

Never forget Schiff is projecting- he means Democrats are obstructing justice.
The Left can't even mouth breathe without lying. That IS the Left's entire strategy. That is EXACTLY what they want.
They know damn well it won't pass the Senate.
They want it to take months so nothing can get done. No judicial appointments. No action on treaties or the economy. They want to see the economy crater, and would embrace that with great glee as they proclaim with somber faces how sad it is that the Republicans cannot keep the economy going, hurting women and minorities.
These anti-American traitor scum...having it drag on for months is EXACTLY what they want.
And then, when nothing comes of it, they will immediately manufacture, in concert with a eager, willing, and compliant media, some other fake scandal or outrage that will be readily absorbed by the slack-jawed imbeciles who actually DO pay attention to the media.
I am sick of it. I am sick to death of it. Which is what they want. I am informed, so I have context. But they are doing this to demoralize and depress people who don't have the time and energy to get the context and information.
They are banking on those people saying "I think we need someone new. I thought Trump was okay on the economy, but he had everyone at each other's throats..."
BANK ON IT. That is EXACTLY what they want. Because they aren't going to beat him on the economy, the wall, or the judiciary.
That bowl of menudo that I had for breakfast is kicking in. I have to go take a schiff.
Yep. See my post above.
Shiff is full of Shitt
Cut from the same cloth.
Okay, so when the authorities come to hall this POS and partners in crime off to jail for treason, he / they can’t claim that they were just joking.
