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.
The pubbies need to show up with a fully-equipped USMC rifle squad and put an end to this utter BS....once and for all.
I look forward to see the day that Schitt is dragged off to a federal supermax in cuffs and leg irons.
He can be Bubba The Love Sponge’s butt buddy there all day long.
. Don’t allow the House to operate>
That is exactly what Dems would do if a GOP House and Deep State coupists were assaulting a Dem POTUS. But don’t expect anything from the Marquess of Queensberry GOP. They’d rather lose as Democrats wipe their feet on them than win as a brawler like President Trump.
In this House Intelligence Committee, the law is whatever Shifty Schiff says it is from moment to moment.
Schiffhead is riding high on his power now but I don’t think this is going to end well for him.
Just my gut feeling about it.
Gaetz is a buffoon. He supported Katie Hill.
The Democrat Thug Party — exactly what the FF fought against.
“The text of the resolution was released Tuesday afternoon and denies Republicans subpoena powers”
Rats!
Too bad, they could subpoena Schiff and he would perjure himself.
What cowards, both parties should have subpoena powers.
Legally, impeachment MUST BE non-partisan!
Yes, Schiff is guilty of witness tampering!
Ha, Shannon Bream just said (late nite rerun) a key Republican threatened to call Schiff as witness!
I called for that in my last post...
Hillary Clinton must be on the impeachment inquiry committee because if I remember correctly she was fired for trying to deny Nixon counsel?
Pay no attention to the little man behind the curtain.
I had to look it up to be certain and yes, I was correct. And I agree with you 100%!

One more proof that King Schiff is drawing a Bill of Attainder against President Trump, under color of impeachment.
Bills of Attainder are prohibited by the Constitution, Article 1 section 9.
No legislative act is allowed which assigns guilt without trial.
Mcturtle better get on his horse and lead the charge or be replaced. Never trusted this weasel
#Schiffyism
The partisan press and the Communist ACLU aren’t speaking out against this un-American kangaroo court.
Their cries of McCarthyism and witchhunts are hollow.
I read yesterday they are going to televise the impeachment hearings. PLEASE God make them stupid enough to do so!!! Let the entire world see the kind of corrupt criminal lying BS this country has to put up with when it comes to democrats
Adam Schiffty Schiff: Answer only those questions that I approve.
Bernie Sanders has a campaign based on the Soviet Constitution of the 1930’s.
Obstruction!!!
The House GOP needs to hold daily press conferences to discuss farcical clown show going on. AND Mitch McConnell needs to attend.
