House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., who is overseeing the ongoing illegitimate impeachment inquiry set in motion by Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., is reportedly telling witnesses testifying not to answer questions asked by Republican lawmakers.
Speaking to reporters on Capitol Hill, House Minority Whip Steve Scalise, R-La., slammed the hidden process claiming Schiff was instructing witnesses testifying behind the closed doors of the SCIF not to answer questions asked by Republican members.
“He’s directing witnesses not to answer questions that he doesn’t want the witness to answer if they’re asked by Republicans,” Scalise charged. “He’s not cut off one Democrat. He’s not interrupted one Democrat and told a witness not to answer Democrat members’ questions but today he started telling witnesses not to answer questions by certain Republicans.”
One question that Schiff barred a witness from answering reportedly came from Ohio Republican Congressman Jim Jordan who attempted to asked the initial anonymous “whistleblower” who they spoke with following the infamous July phone call between Trump and Ukrainian president.
“Adam Schiff says, ‘no-no-no we’re not going to let him answer that question,’” Jordan said as reported by Fox News.
The latest charges against Schiff come as the ongoing impeachment process has been rot with allegations of bias where Schiff has been conducting a closed-door investigation interviewing witnesses whose testimony has been selectively leaked to the press to frame the president.
The secrecy of the House proceedings followed by an array of leaked testimony to promote a false narrative being peddled by the corporate media prompted about 30 House Republicans led by Rep. Matt Gaetz, D-Fla., to storm the SCIF to demand previously denied records relating to the investigation.
Schiff is blocking GOP lawmakers from asking critical questions in the proceedings two days before Pelosi has set a tentative full-chamber vote to formalize the impeachment inquiry.
The text of the resolution was released Tuesday afternoon and denies Republicans subpoena powers. In both the Nixon and Clinton proceedings, the minority party was given this right.
There are normally hundreds of kangaroos where I work. I think the Democrats have flown in, grabbed a bunch, and flew them to DC.
It’s called witness tampering and a felony!
Schiff clearly has a mental disorder. There has to be a psychiatrist out there with a diagnosis.
Witness tampering. Isn’t that a form of obstruction of justice.
But you're right...the Democrats operate as if the rules don't apply to them. Thankfully for you Australia was the third part of a Trifecta...Brexit,Trump and Morrison.
This makes absolutely no sense. Forget the garbled grammar, the initial whistleblower is still anonymous and damn sure wasn't in this deposition.
If you ever wondered why The Federalist isn't taken seriously...
Since his meetings are not classified, they can be publicly stated as to their content.
I know of no law that allows congress to operate in secret.
When is somebody charged with Abuse of Power? Deliberately violating the 4th Amendment among others.
Lamp post, rope, scumbag - some assembly required.
Yep.
on what grounds???
That got me to laugh out loud
Every Republican should walk out of eveyone of these hearings!!
There has to be some dirt in Schiff’s past. I wish someone would start investigating him. He’s just too creepy to be clean.
Can anybody say....
Looks like Ruthie, on a good day!
You can't make this stuff up!!! Lt. Col. Vindman is Soviet born!!! They have a Soviet born person as a key Coup witness!! WOW! No wonder why MSDNC Nicole Wallace had a profanity laced on air meltdown.
A former prosecutor engaged in witness tampering. This is something we expect now.
Pencil neck.
