OPINION:
At the House Democrats’ 2019 impeachment inquiry into then-President Donald Trump, Rep. Adam Schiff blocked Republicans from calling witnesses and obtaining documents that could have told today’s unfolding, seedy story of the Biden family in Ukraine.
Mr. Schiff, the California Democrat who proudly championed the 2016 anti-Trump hoax dossier, kept the Biden family safe so that Joe could run for president untainted by scandal.
House Democrats subsequently voted to impeach Mr. Trump because of a July 25, 2019, phone call he conducted with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. He asked Mr. Zelenskyy to look into what the Biden duo, former Vice President Joe Biden and son Hunter Biden, were up to in Kyiv’s corrupt environment.
But Mr. Schiff kept Republicans from telling the real story: Ukraine was a Biden scandal, not a Trump one. We now know that Mr. Trump had a good reason to ask Mr. Zelenskyy what the Biden family was up to.
Mr. Biden was America’s all-powerful point man in Kyiv when Hunter, in 2014, quickly landed a seat worth millions on the board of directors of Burisma Holdings. It’s a natural gas company owned by Mykola Zlochevsky, an oligarch tied to Moscow and viewed as corrupt by Washington.
A more thorough impeachment investigation in 2019 could have done a deep dive into the Bidens and Mr. Zlochevsky.
Today we know so much more about what the three were actually doing in Ukraine, stuff that could have come in so handy to impeachment committee Republicans had they been allowed to call specific witnesses.

Don’t forget Adam Schiff (who I like to call ‘A damn schit’) if you’ll recall also created a fake transcript about Trump and read it in front of Congress in an attempt to mislead them. Nothing happened to him of course.
“House Democrats subsequently voted to impeach Mr. Trump...”
And House Republicans were pretty much worthless or complicit during the whole thing.
Totally agree. Trump was pretty weak against the Dems overall (even letting Nancy tear up the SOTU on live TV without having federal marshals waiting for her afterwards), but the Dems were all in about the protecting their boy, who they knew was completely corrupt but enormously powerful in the Dem party.
So Trump even touching this freaked them out. This was his duty as President. A US President should keep his eye on things like this and it was a sensitive situation that shouldn’t have been handed off…and the call was perfectly legitimate and probably one of the most accurate calls he made. (Or that his “advisers” allowed him to make.)
