Schiff: 'Republicans would like nothing better' than for impeachment inquiry witnesses to coordinate testimony

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) defending conducting closed interviews as part of the House impeachment inquiry, suggesting House Republicans wanted public hearings so witnesses could coordinate their testimony.

“The Republicans would like nothing better if witnesses could tailor their testimony to other witnesses,” Schiff told Margaret Brennan during an interview on CBS's "Face the Nation." He was responding to a question about GOP contentions that Democrats are selectively leaking information on their interviews.

“We may very well call some of the same witnesses in public hearings as well, but we want to make sure we meet the needs of the investigation and not give the president or his legal minions the opportunity to tailor their testimony and in some cases fabricate testimony to fit their interests,” Schiff stated.

Schiff suggested that the release of a White House summary of the call between President Trump and Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky at the heart of a whistleblower complaint made it less vital the whistleblower testify before Congress.

Schiff also told Brennan he “should have been much more clear” about whether the House Intelligence Committee was in touch with the whistleblower at the time the complaint was filed.

“I was referring to the fact that when the whistleblower filed the complaint, we had not heard from the whistleblower. We wanted to bring the whistleblower in at that time,” he said.

Schitt wants nothing more than the biggest donkey barbecue he can organize and then leak out in tailored excerpts. If the republicans let him get away with this they are complicit.

People loyal to the president should investigate those nasty rumors about bug-eyed Adam Schitt.

What are our plans guys if they do indeed follow up on putting Rudy and others in jail for not complying with the dems?

Like I said before, I’m heading from Staten Island with a Dodge Challenger and room for 2.

Nobody can sit behind me!!

No i don’t want to go at all but i think we would have to.

That would kind of be a big step towards a hot war for control of the govt.

IS it within the rights of congress to lock em up and if they do, what will Trump’s response be?

Schiff has nothing only time on his hands to get some air time he’s milking his 15 minutes.
The democrats get more stupid by the day all they have is hot air and each other and that ain’t much.

‘Liddle’ Adam would like nothing better than to keep recent House Intelligence Committee testimony secret since it appears that the testimony will exonerate the President’s activities for, ya know, acting as the President.

Yet another example of one of the most important Golden Rules from the Dem Playbook:

ALWAYS ACCUSE YOUR OPPONENT OF THE CRIMES YOU ARE ACTUALLY COMMITTING YOURSELF (BUT IN A GOOD CAUSE, OF COURSE.)

Dem Playbook, Chapter 20, Section 20.

There is a perfectly appropriate word for anyone who believes ANYTHING that Schiff says: STUPID.
