House Republicans plan to call Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff as one of their first witnesses in the impeachment inquiry against President Trump following the adoption of formal rules for the investigation, claiming he is a “fact witness” due to his office's early involvement with the whistleblower whose complaint sparked the proceedings.

A source familiar with Republicans’ strategy moving forward in the impeachment inquiry confirmed to Fox News on Monday that GOP members plan to call Schiff, D-Calif., for questioning -- even if they are unlikely to succeed.

The source told Fox News that Republicans want answers to questions like: “How many times did he meet with the whistleblower? What did they advise the whistleblower to do? How much was Schiff involved in this? Did he recommend the whistleblower give the complaint to the intelligence community inspector general, even though there was no intel component, so that he could be involved?”

Schiff maintains that he has not personally spoken with the anonymous whistleblower. However, it was revealed several weeks ago that the whistleblower at least had early contact with his office, essentially giving them a heads-up about the complaint concerning Trump's July phone call with Ukraine's president.

If Schiff refuses to testify he is obstructing justice. Arrest him then.

And why did his staff take a trip to Ukraine and who paid for it?

Schiff: "Adam Schiff"

GOP: "Next witness ..."

Will Schiff obstruct justice by refusing to testify?

Under the House rules as voted recently, the Committee Chair would have to agree to the witness list; so Schiff would simply veto the GOP request. There will be no justice in the Rat House.

Then he will have to be arrested.

Call his bluff. Have him arrested if he says he will do this to others.

I don’t know NEARLY enough about this mess to know what kind of power Rs have to call him and if he can be arrested for not showing.

It seems like NONE of this is on the up and up and no one can be arrested.

Rudy and others have told schiff to go to hell and I’m guessing if they could arrest them, they would try.

I doubt that the dims will even let the republicans call witnesses. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if they conduct the whole thing in secret.

Then America will know 100% it is just an unending attempt to impeach, this is 4/100, there are rules for some not all in America, and law and order is a sham.

It then becomes The Will To Power.

He'll lie....He's lied all through this.

Or he'll just declare everything he says as a parody.

Ya, but Chairman Schiff gets to approve all GOP witnesses.

So, Adam will disallow himself, as he is proven NOT to be A CREDIBLE WITNESS!!!!

“There is no indication that either of the original whistleblowers will be called to testify or appear before the Senate or House Intelligence committees. There is no further discussion ongoing between the legal team and the committees,” said the Examiner‘s source. “”

Then your investigation is over...

The general public seems woefully misinformed when it comes to force of law. House hearings? Contempt of Congress? Who in their right mind thinks the rats care about these things? The legal code lacks when it comes to teeth in maintaining law and order. It is a pick and choose world when innocent bkood is shed daily under those who assume authority.
