Adam Schiff fights to keep impeachment subpoena records secret
Washington Examiner ^ | March 19, 2020 | Jerry Dunleavy

Posted on 03/19/2020 7:47:25 AM PDT by kevcol

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff moved to dismiss a lawsuit seeking access to secretive subpoenas the California Democrat issued for call records he made public during last year’s impeachment investigation of President Trump.

His legal team, led by Douglas Letter, the Democratic-led House’s general counsel, told the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia on Friday that “these requests and subpoenas were integral to the Committee’s inquiry and consistent with its mandate to investigate and issue a report” about whether Trump should be impeached.
.
.
.
In their filing on Friday, Schiff's lawyers argued Judicial Watch “has not demonstrated that the public interest in disclosure outweighs the House Defendants’ interest in non-disclosure.”

No question......Schiff’s actions on impeachment were outright treasonous.

Add to this the impeachment circus wasted precious weeks to prepare for the COVID-19 invasion.

Schiff deserves at least as much grief as Flynn, Papadopolous, et al, suffered. Lock him up with that shmuck
gay actor Jussie Smollett who says he got viciously attacked but emerged with his tuna sub sandwich intact.

Good idea.

Papadopolous tweeted: "The IG stated in his report that we were being targeted BEFORE joining the Trump campaign
(Mike Flynn had the same spies target him in 2015 that I did in 2016). So clearly there was a separate illicit investigation before “Crossfire.”
Who designed that?

Exactly......this MUST go viral.

The Pelosi/Schiff impeachment circus wasted precious weeks as the COVID-19 invasion marched on and people died.

Schiff brought pain and suffering on a good many people. He used false data to acquire false information to ruin the careers of many people. Schiff must pay.

Not surprisingly he’ll leak allegations that others do wrong but wants to hide any paper trail he’s involved in.

Sure...... IF the GOP regains control we do need to ramp up and CHARGE Shifty Schiff.

But do you think Trump's influence on these feckless Republicans to actually fight back against the sleezy left will work? Look at old Mitch and how he caves to Upchuck all the time. Keep calling and writing your congresscritter.

I still am angry about old Paul Ryan wasting the first 2 years of Trump's presidency. I swear he did that on purpose plus help give away the house. Grrr.

Anyone agree?

Why wasnt Schiff 's massive conflict of interest WRT Ukraine exposed?

Schiff went after Trump tooth and nail just for asking Ukraine to look into possible corruption according to a law signed by Bill Clinton.

I’ve seen speculation here about getting other records from the NSA, and the response was can’t do that, it’s for foreign stuff.

Please set the record straight on that if you can. I would like Trump to get all the records he can.

This is before the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Does anyone know how that bodes, or who the judge is?

Schiff: “Keep my oversight records secret. It’s a matter of national security.”

Also Schiff: “Force President Trump to reveal his tax returns. It’s a matter of national security.”

What a loon. Decent people get corona virus, and this Marty Feldman lookalike is spared. Is it wrong that I just said that?

Trump can look at anything he wants to. He’s the head of the executive branch. Whether he can reveal everything, or if it’s wise to, are separate questions.
