House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff skirted around the question of whether he would adhere to a subpoena to testify in a Senate impeachment trial against President Trump.
The California Democrat, who led the House impeachment hearings, claimed during Monday's episode of The View that submitting to Republican witness demands would turn the trial into a "sham."
Referring to Trump's tweet over the weekend calling for Schiff and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi be witnesses, co-host Abby Huntsman, who announced she is leaving The View after two seasons to help run her father’s gubernatorial campaign in Utah, asked, "Would you, if asked, be willing to testify, if subpoenaed?"
Schiff argued that it would not make sense for him and Pelosi to be called to testify on Trump's actions related to Ukraine, which are subject to the impeachment effort.
"Look, I'm not a fact witness. So, other than mollifying the president, I'm not sure why the Senate would call me or Nancy Pelosi as a witness," he said.

Opening up their bag of sh## they wont like and Im sure they will go the other way. Incriminating themselves and others in their crime syndicate will not go well for them
neither were his witnesses..hearsay, third party they said and opinions...
Yep. But after reading about how 4 or 5 R senators are being B.tches and dealing with the enemy, I hope we get exactly what we want in the senate.
Mitch should make it clear that you’re DONE, OVER, FINISHED if you go against Trump on this in ANY WAY.
Lately he seems to have grown a pair.
Maybe Trump wore off on him some or like another FReeper said, having his wife on Trump’s cabinet doesn’t hurt.
i thought McConnell said he had the votes to quickly dismiss, but now i see headlines they don’t. So yes I’d like - if they do a trial - all the pelosi schiff etc shenanigans exposed by them having to testify live and put them through the ringer.
You don't think he would lie or taske the 5th??
Adam knows he can lie his ass off. Comey got away with it.
The fact that the wb went there to start with makes the entire affair political.
Picture your a$$hole and you got Schiff.
My hole serves a useful purpose, Schift not so much
Schiff is a bag of BS with a hole in it. The lies just come pouring out.
Oh, but we DO know when the lying “whistleblower” met Schiff’s staff. They were friends from long before. We know for a fact the liar CIAramella wacommunicating with Schiff’s staff before he ever went to the phony IG Atkinson. We know of so many crimes that have been committed against us it is ridiculous.
Subpoena Mary McCord, get the facts out of her in private and under oath, then depose Schniff under oath immediately before they can synchronize stories.
