On Sunday’s broadcast of CNN’s “State of the Union,” Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) refused to say he would testify in an impeachment trial of President Donald Trump in the Senate.
When asked if he would be willing to testify in the Senate, Schiff said, “There is nothing to testify about. I think if the president or his allies in the Senate persist, it means they are not serious about what they are doing.”
Host Jake Tapper said, “Sorry for interrupting. They would cite David Kendall, President Clinton’s attorney, got to cross-examine Ken Starr. I understand you are not an independent council, but you did lead the investigation.”
Schiff said, “I’m not a special counsel. I don’t work for a separate branch of government. I’m not in the Justice Department. I am more in a position that Henry Hyde was during the impeachment or Peter Rodino or Sam Ervin. They were not fact witnesses. What would I offer in terms of testimony that I heard Dr. Hill in open hearing say such and such? That is not pertinent. The only reason for them to go through with this is to mollify the president, and that is not a good reason to try to call a member of Congress as a witness.”
Tapper asked, “But there are questions you could answer about your staff having been approached by the whistleblower before he filed his complaint and other matters, things that you could shed light on our explain. Would you refuse to go if the Senate wanted you to come as a witness?”

This charlie foxtrot is now toast.
Stick a fork in impeachment. It’s done.
schizophrenia, that is what Adam Schiff is suffering from. At least in the early stages. And that is why he won’t testify
Not so veiled threat at Rs.
For a party worried about intimidation and bullying, it seems to be all they do.
So he would refuse a subpoena? What does he have to hide? This is HIS SHOW! Why would he not want to do everything he can o provide his ‘evidence’?
I actually watched this schiff show this morning.
I truly believe he is seriously nuts. All democrats are a little off but the way he was talking made me cringe.
He’s afraid to testify because he will have to tell the truth about his contacts with the “whistleblower” under penalty of perjury.
Schiff is accusing Republicans of wanting to turn the circus into a circus? Ha ha! Too rich.
I would LOVE to see the Senate forcibly drag his ass in there.
If Schiff won’t testify, put a dummy in the witness seat and ask it whether the dummy or his staff is the true author of the whistleblower complaint.
He said “this is my circus, damnit”.
Baby Tyrant better watch what he says.
Saying things like “I’m not a material witness” can come back as perjury.
refused to say he would testify >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Schiff is OBSTRUCTING CONGRESS. Its obstruction of Justice, find him in contempt, make him wear SUNGLASSES.
This conduct cannot be tolerated of a US Congressman. He is not representing his constituents. This is abuse of power, by Schiff, and also he is intimidating witnesses from testifying!
(Sound familiar?)
Why would he tell the truth??? He’s not in the least concerned with perjury...He knows he and his cronies would work around it...
Schiff is a shameless luar, which gets you promoted on the Democrat party.
A few thoughts I had about Schitty this morning ....

Who said you have a choice, Schiffhead?
Just plead the fifth like a good commie rat.

The Press and Left didn’t give a damn when the Clintons were bribing and threatening witnesses.
