Schiff Threatens Republicans: Don't Criticize the Whistleblower During Public Impeachment Hearings..

Every Rep on the committee should mention his name.

We must, indeed, all hang together or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately.

6th Amendment applies to spies too.

I agree. I don’t think any Republicans should attend such a farce.

Are there not going to be any House Managers as in the Clinton impeachment? I haven’t heard a word about that. I don’t even know if we’re still in the “inquiry” stage or where we are. But heck - I don’t think piglosi or shifty know either. Maybe the House Managers didn’t get involved until a hearing was set before the ENTIRE House membership.

Exactly!

[eyedigress]

The Dems want this in the "Court of Public Opinion" only.

They want to control that narrative with the MSM.

This is all they have, hence This only an inquiry...

[dfwgator]

As Rage Against The Machine would say, “F YOU! I WON’T DO WHAT YOU TELL ME!”

[jazusamo]

Shiff’s attempts to hide and shield the “Whistle Blower” constitutes actual obstruction of justice.

Well said.

We all know Schiff isn't the brightest bulb in the fixture but it's hilarious he doesn't realize the fool he's making of himself.

[wastedyears]

Or else what?

Every Republican worth a spec of salt should start right out by mentioning the CIA operatives name. Let crooked Schiff put them all under an ethics investigation. Lets see how that works out.

In 12 months the Dems lose their majority and may not get it back for a long time to come. The new speaker (McCarthy) gets to sign off on committee assignments. I expect him to reject Schiff for ANY committee assignment. Technically, Schiff could be expelled from Congress, but that takes a 2/3 vote IIRC.

Just ask that Eric Ciaramella be subpoenaed.

"Every Rep on the committee should mention his name. We must, indeed, all hang together or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately."

Agree completely. This is nothing but a kangaroo court and the GOP attempting to participate only gives it the appearance of legitimacy. The GOP should defy Schiff with every word, disrupt the process, denounce the spy and Schiff's involvement with the unnamed one and force Schiff to try and remove them. If Schiff tries anything else, the GOP members could walkout dramatically one by one and throw papers down as they leave, and whatever else they can think of to discredit the process. If they just play Schiff's game, we all lose.

He cannot re write the rules the house operates under

Of course he can. The rules are whatever the majority says they are.

[Jeff Chandler]

Senate presidential contenders can’t campaign

Of course they they can, and will. They'll pop in once in a while for the cameras.

[Jaded]

Has he made little fists and stomped his feet?

[Pajamajan]

Totalitarian tyrant Shifty, and the dems, in action.

[Homer_J_Simpson]

Hey, gator. It's been a while since I hung out here on a regular basis. Now that I've been booted off Twitter for good I reckon I will be doing more of it.

I wonder if Schiff has any clue about how angry Americans are getting over this impeachment nonsense. Not just the long-term MAGAs, but all the normals. We have a long tradition of fair play and equal justice in this country. Schiff is rubbing that in our faces. I don't see it ending well for his side.

[ActresponsiblyinVA]

I think the Senate should do full discovery and interrogate people under oath in public.

The little tinpot dictator Schiff... if he was all that confident, why does he need to railroad the President?

Democrats are afraid of the truth. No wonder they can’t talk about their star witness and the Bidens.

All they have left are Mafia tactics.
