House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., said Sunday that the National Security Agency is withholding "potentially relevant documents" from Congress regarding Ukraine just as President Donald Trump's Senate impeachment trial is set to start.
"The intelligence community is beginning to withhold documents from Congress on the issue of Ukraine," Schiff told ABC's "This Week." "They appear to be succumbing to pressure from the administration. The NSA in particular is withholding what are potentially relevant documents to our oversight responsibilities on Ukraine, but also withholding documents potentially relevant that the senators might want to see during the trial."
"That is deeply concerning," Schiff continued. "And there are signs that the CIA may be on the same tragic course. We are counting on the intelligence community not only to speak truth to power but to resist pressure from the administration to withhold information from Congress because the administration fears that they incriminate them."

If they have new documents they think are a smoking gun (all the others have been misfires), they can always go back to the house for another article of impeachment and try to start all over again. And they are so angry and deranged, I wouldn't put it past them to do it again!
These antics are indicative of a weak or dysfunctional case, filtering the bilge water in vain for ‘potential’ evidence.
Many of the rats are already on record saying that they will continue this impeachment crap. Hell you know they are already putting the plans together.
The black rat manager, impeachment manager on Fox this morning is so deranged that he actually said that when Trump and Hillary debate and Trump jokingly said to Hillary, ...maybe the Russians can find your missing 33k emails....well this stupid black impeachment manager said that what Trump said then is proof of Trumps treason.
Schiff says intelligence community withholding documents on Ukraine,So?
Documents regarding what exactly?
This ASSHAT knows he has the media on his side he can lie and say whatever he wants media will parrot him hoping the public will lap it up!!
good thing for YOU they’re holding back on those dirty pictures with Ed Buck, Mr. Schiffty...
Hey, Diogenesis!
who’s the fat guy on the right???
There is No Price to pay, so he continues tapping phones, conspiring, taking away rights from the minority party, and making up shit.
The GOP lets him get away with it, so why would he stop?
‘
Not only does the GOP let the Dems get away with with police state thuggery, they endorse it:

Is this the very same IC that Sen. Chuck Schumer talked about when he cautioned Trump that they had "Six ways from Sunday at getting back at you", that is now suddenly on Trump's side.
Ri-ight...
If the Dems try to turn this into another Brett Kavanaugh series of hearings, they are mistaken, as Mitch will shut the whole Kabuki theatre down and dsmiss the whole thing. There’s simply no legal, nor constitutional reason that this is going on in the first place, so at the first sign of mischief, it’s all over.
NSC Russia Expert Escorted From White House Under Intelligence Investigation…
All Schiff needs to do is put together a pack of lies to get a FISA warrant. Isn’t that how it works? Putting together a pack of lies is right up his alley.
In the meantime the globull warming clock is ticking down...
The Scary “INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY IS WORKING AGAINST THE DIMS???????”
HOW SWELL...FOR A CHANGE.
Unsubstantiated, of course, but when one is connecting dots, you have to look at the timing of events. I saw the Peet announcement, which indicated that he was ‘ejected’ from the White House, which means that he was deemed either unreliable or suspicious (the timing of his removal after only three months. Look at the NSC background: “The top Russia expert on President Donald Trump’s National Security Council has left his post after about three months, according to three people familiar with the matter”. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-01-19/trump-loses-another-russia-adviser-adding-to-nsc-turnover. Peek had replaced Tim Morrison, who had replaced Fiona Hill. Morrison and Hill were ‘witnesses’ at the House Impeachment Circus last month. No doubt Peek was highly innvolved with the shenanigans that were pulled at the State Dept. and NSC and Schiff was getting inside intel. Could Peek have been the ‘leaker’ that Schiff relied on? He sure screamed bloody murder out of the blue that Intel was being witheld from him, and the timing suggest that Peek was his contact. Again, all speculation, but the way he was removed after only 3 months indicates that there is a huge story there. Perhaps we will find out when Trump’s lawyers start tearing apart Schiff’s fairy tale.
They’ll have to use dental floss.
