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

And the Lord will not be mocked.
And we aren’t fooling around about YOU going to PRIson for LYING in the CONGRESSIONAL RECORD.
Oh they said those more millions donated would help impeachment haha
We ALL need to contact our REPS. AND Senators that we will NOT stand by for this COUP!
That guy is an embarrassment of a man, and I use that word loosely, very loosely.
We can hope, but unless Patriots rise up in great numbers and purge the country of coup plotters, Schiff will likely be spouting his lies and spinning his plots well into the future.
Listen! I'm not joking here ... this is my job!

We've had the first two. Now do the third one, Liddle Adam!
Let them go ahead and do it then. If they want to take to the next step, fine. What is going to happen is going to happen anyway, might as well get an early start.
He has a cheap facelift too...
Well I was going to read the rest of the thread, but that says it all there. My sentiment exactly.
We don’t need the population to do this just the support of enough of it. Remember these are elements within the government that are fighting each other.
Democrats are nothing but a collection of America hating fascist freaks.
FIFY.
They’re trying to send us a message: “We choose your leaders, not you. You peons have no right to pick a leader we don’t like. You will be punished.”
This ain’t no party..... this ain’t no disco..... this ain’t no fool’n around.....
“will be considered as evidence of obstruction of justice.”
So they’re going to impeach him on a process crime during an investigation where no crime was committed...?
Sounds like they’re just fooling around.
“This aint no party, this aint no disco
This aint no fooling around
No time for dancing, or lovey dovey
I aint got time for that now”
Heh... heh... beat me to it. First thing to pop in me head.
The rest of the lyrics are pretty interesting...given today's political climate.
Dog whistle? /speculation
