Democratic Congressman Adam Schiff, chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, rebuked House Republicans' calls for former Vice President Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden, to testify in the public impeachment inquiry starting next week and confirmed that the proceedings will not probe "sham" Biden claims.
Current ranking member Republican Congressman Devin Nunes, in a letter to Schiff on Saturday, asked for Biden, the anonymous whistleblower and several others to testify as part of the impeachment probe, which will move from closed-door depositions to public hearings next week.
In response, Schiff confirmed that Biden will not be testifying but agreed to review the rest of the Republicans' list. "This inquiry is not and will not serve as a vehicle to undertake the same sham investigations into the Bidens or 2016 that the President pressed Ukraine to conduct for his personal political benefit," the top Democrat said, according to The Washington Post, "or facilitate the President's effort to threaten, intimidate, and retaliate against the whistleblower who courageously raised the initial alarm."

Full title - SCHIFF REJECTS GOP CALLS FOR HUNTER BIDEN TO TESTIFY, SAYS IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY WON'T PROBE 'SHAM' CLAIMS
As predicted.
the President’s effort to threaten, intimidate, and retaliate against the whistleblower who courageously raised the initial alarm.”
Wake the heck up Pubbies.
Schiff is using the WB laws to protect the perps. He needs to be called out.
Refusing to allow the GOP to call Biden is direct interference in the “investigation” and is adding to the proof this is a a Democrat Fascist Party coup attempt
Ya know, it is kind of funny (not), how to the democrats any third-hand hearsay, rumors and/or obvious completely fabricated lies by anonymous sourcesare treated as absolute truth against Trump or anyone on his side....
But Joe Biden bragging about his quid pro quo to protect his incompetently corrupt son, in front of many witnesses and television cameras is called a sham.
He knows without looking into it that it’s a “sham claim”. He’s clairvoyant, or in bed with Joe?
It will be Dem after Dem attacking Trump nothing else
No affirmative defense allowed. If the purpose of the remark about Biden was related to suspicion of corruption, then the request is righteous. We can’t be looking there.
Denial of an affirmative defense shows that the basis for the House inquiry is biased at its foundation.
I make a point of assigning responsibility to the US House of Representatives, which has voted to proceed on this course. Whatever follows is laid on the institution.
They are literally investigating claims about a phone call that everyone who heard the call and the transcript themselves agree did not happen. No sham claims indeed.
No the Senate knows what it has to do....
Throw it out when it comes to them.
Say it was a sham
Of course Hunter can’t testify, Hunter is a doofus
That would destroy the whole “Bidens are innocent of corruption” theme
“Now the Senate”
Adam Schiff. The despicable Joy Reid on TV. Pelosi. Hillary. Comey.
Similarities: total arrogance, liars, self-serving and let the people be damned.
Were they born or just dropped here by evil space aliens to ruin our lives?
EXACTLY. Punchable Clown Face ALERT
Looks plainly like Schiff is obstructing justice.
Does he mean like the sham charges he has levied against Trump?
“Rebuked” “confirmed” “sham” “claims” - nope, no bias there!
