Schiff: Impeachment proceedings could be 'tool' to get information, evidence
The Hill ^ | 5/19/19 | RACHEL FRAZIN

Posted on 05/19/2019 2:20:50 PM PDT by Libloather

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) suggested in an interview that aired Sunday that impeachment proceeding against President Trump could be used as an oversight tool to gain information that the House has been seeking.

Schiff said on CBS's Face the Nation that what could drive impeachment is not the president's conduct in special counsel Robert Mueller's report, but rather how the administration "is engaging in a maximum obstructionism campaign against Congress."

"I think that we are seeing more members that recognize that the administration is acting in a lawless fashion, essentially having obstructed justice, is now obstructing Congress and our lawful function.," he said. "And if we conclude that there's no other way to do our jobs, no other way to do the oversight, no other way to show the American people what this president has done, his- his unethical and illegal acts as outlined in the Mueller Report, then we may get there."

Careful, Schiffty. You're bordering on abuse of power. Nasty stuff.

Looks to me as though Schiff is hanging a “Gone Fishing” sign outside his door.

The Shifster knows all about “tools”.

I thought he had a boatload of evidence that he would somehow never share. How can he more?

Some of them know it will backfire on them.

Some are too stupid to realize that, as this evil idiot.

Anyone else notice that Schiff has been on a Sunday News show every week since Trump’s Presidency began?

Lol, “obstructionism...” Of course the administration is pushing back, they are trying to find or manufacture something, anything to use against them to further a political agenda. Does anyone really expect the administration to roll over and say “sure, let me help you destroy us?”

He’s outright admitting that their sole purpose is to harass the President.

Who’s creating the “Constitutional Crisis”? Congress can’t go fishing for evidence from the Executive. Man I hope someone will primary Schiff.

In a free country, crimes are investigated to find the persons responsible.

In a police state, persons are investigated for political reasons in order to find a crime.

“Impeachment proceedings could be ‘tool’ to get information, evidence”

Sounds like Mueller’s investigation.

When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail, eh, Pencil Neck?

What an appropriate nickname, because on the upper end of the pencil is his eraser sized breain
