McCaul Rejects Democrats' Limitation of Republican Involvement in Volker Testimony Tomorrow
After learning today that the Democrat-led House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) will not allow Foreign Affairs Committee Republicans to have equal representation or the opportunity to question Kurt Volker at tomorrow's scheduled interview, Congressman Michael McCaul (R-TX), Lead Republican on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, demanded HPSCI Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) allow Republicans and Democrats to participate on an equal playing field in their impeachment probe. Furthermore, Lead Republican McCaul expressed concern to Chairman Eliot Engel (D-NY) that the Foreign Affairs Committee's oversight role over the State Department and the conduct of U.S. foreign policy has been usurped by another committee without jurisdiction. McCaul reinforced that "impeaching the President of the United States is a grave and serious matter for the American people," and he expects the Democrats to lead their investigation in a fair, impartial manner. ...

What we’re seeing play out is exactly what we saw when they tried (and failed) to take down Kavanaugh in 2018:
The Democrats—specifically Adam Schiff—are exclusively briefed on a bogus allegation.
oPartisan Democrats strategically advise this anonymous individual.
oThen they build and execute a media plan to damage the President, all while lying about their role in the whole process.
Adam Schiff submitted a subpoena for the very document that he helped create, and stood in front of the American people and claimed he had no knowledge of this whistleblower.
The President is right, Adam Schiff should resign in disgrace, but the very least, he should recuse himself. He has lied to Americans and manipulated the media from the very beginning.
If @RepAdamSchiff aka #FullOfSchiff is willing to go on to the floor of Congress to lie and reinvent the words of President Trump, it begs the question: How far did he go to influence and orchestrate this anonymous and phony whistleblower complaint?
And for those who don’t know who Adam Schiff is, he is not just a radical liberal, he is someone who has been hand-picked and supported by George Soros.
An intelligence community whistleblower is required to go to directly to the Inspector General, before going to congress. The fact that this anonymous whistleblower went first to seek partisan advice from a George Soros *puppet* tells you everything you need to know...
it’s just more of the same from the deep state. I’ll bet good money that the “whistleblower” turns up to be another partisan hack with deep ties to the Brennan/McCabe cabal.
Anyone who doesn’t see this yet is a fool or hasn’t been watching the last 3 years play out.
The President is right, it’s time for the “do-nothing Democrats” to go back to work and start serving the constituents instead of themselves.
