Washington (CNN) House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff said Thursday that transcripts from the impeachment inquiry's closed-door interviews could start being publicly released as early as next week.
Schiff made the revelation when he told CNN's Chris Cuomo on "Cuomo Prime Time" that accusations from Republicans that the minority party isn't getting enough time to ask questions in the closed-door depositions are false.
"Those arguments you've heard are almost completely false, with only one exception," Schiff said. "And when you see the transcripts, and we expect to begin releasing them as early as next week, you'll see that the Republicans have every bit as much time to ask questions."
**SNIP**
"You know it was certainly important, you know, in this impeachment proceeding, we have the existence of the call record, but I don't think that's really what differentiates then (Watergate) from now. I think the main difference is the President now has Fox prime time and that allows his supporters to live in this alternative fact world."
He added: " And, frankly, I think if Richard Nixon had had Fox prime time, he would have never been forced to leave office. And that is what we're up against. You know, an information environment in which you can live in a world devoid of facts."

As doctored as the BULLSH!T he read into the Congressional Record as an account of what Donald Trump “said” on that phone call.
#Schiffyism
Shifty is a sorry lying piece of shit.... DemoRat
Hmmmm. Electronic recording devices are not allowed. Was someone writing down everything? Also, everything in that room is considered classified information. Schiffty can just release that?
I think you are right.
The transcripts will not be true records of the testimony
Great questions!
If the House Intelligence Committee hearings are classified, how can they present their “evidence” to the Senate for the trial?
Last week when the GOP invaded Schiff’s SCIF, they all had to turn in their phones and any other type of recording device. Schiff who is putting on the show has a congressional stenographer and typewriting machine that records everything typed into it. Schiff may have the power to start and stop the stenographer as he wishes. The transcripts could be released today if Schiff and Pelosi wanted them released.
Fake transcripts from a fake process. Don’t allow question and direct the answers from “witnesses” it not a transcript, it is a PR stunt.
And still the Criminal investigation into their attempted coup to cover their crimes will go on.
Yep. The fake investigation of the Deep State coupists will go on and on and on and on without a satisfactory resolution.
Screw that I want the actual audio. They’ll make up the transcripts just like the libs are accusing the WH of doing.
Schiff has Hillary campaigner and conspirator associate Sean Misko working for him along with Abigail Grace, CIA White House insider hired by Schiff to help Schiff investigate Trump.
You can take your fake transcripts and shove them up your ass, Adam.
Agree.. How will we know that the transcript is complete unless we get to hear equally from the people other than Dems who wanted a shaped message to influence voters
I also think the parody was from whistle blower testimony. That is why it remains hidden and will never be seen. I wish that Trump had waited a day or two before releasing the transcript.
It should be aired live on tv but Schifface won’t let that happen, either.
True dat.
They will be redacted, not for security reasons, just Shifty Schiff’s political reasons.
