The top Republican on the House Intelligence Committee has formally requested that the panel's chairman, Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., testify in a closed-door setting as part of the impeachment inquiry against President Trump.
Fox News has obtained a letter written by committee Ranking Member Devin Nunes, R-Calif., who demanded that Schiff appear for a deposition in private before lawmakers.
"On November 6th, you announced the beginning of public hearings associated with the Democratic Party's partisan impeachment inquiry into President Donald J. Trump," Nunes wrote Friday. "Based on the precedent and lack of jurisdiction, the House Intelligence Committee should not take the lead in conducting such hearings; however, by now the American people know your desire to see the duly-elected president removed from office outweighs your sense of responsibility to running a functioning intelligence oversight committee.
"Prior to the start of your public show trial next week, at least one additional closed-door deposition must take place," he continued. "Specifically, I request that you sit for a closed-door deposition before the House Intelligence, Foreign Affairs and Oversight Committees."

Private?
We’re going to need to know everything he’s done you know? Don’t you dare try to hide it from us after all of this garbage we’ve had to endure.
Read the book. He went through hell, his family all of them including his grandmother got threatening calls. If he and his team didn’t investigate the democrats no one would have known everything that went on. Every book out there on democrat attacks on PDJT was based off of the house investigation he lead. He may be wrong on one thing but he was part of getting those who attempted the coup; and he named names of those who were in the conspiracy; politicians, bureaucrats, media...all this was passed on to Durham and Barr. I think he’s a hero. No all hero’s are perfect.
Private??? Why not public? Make him own it.
So blanket immunity for the House to do whatever they want? Just put into the a couple select people (Pelosi & Schiff) and let them do all the corruption needed. Then no one can question them.
Let Schiff testify to a grand jury and then a jury to convict him.
The Senate would/could not investigate the House.
They are equal.
Statements by a House member in the Senate may not have legislative immunity though.
I think the House would appoint members with ‘clean hands’ as Managers.
.shall in all Cases, except Treason, Felony and Breach of the Peace, be privileged from Arrest during their attendance at the Session of their Respective Houses, and in going to and from the same; and for any Speech or Debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other Place.
Thanks, “in … respective Houses” leaves them unprotected in the Senate.
But, I don’t expect the plotters to be ‘managers’.
and for any Speech or Debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other Place.
He is still promoting amnesty, that Trump’s this. Others can press Democrats. We don’t need amnesty, that under one’s Trump anyway. Traitor is still a traitor.
LOL!
You raise my hopes, then....
But seriously, I expected such to be protected speech.
But the House will not send Managers with dirty hands anyway. They could be questioned by the Senate.
2 sets of rules.
The only closed door sitting Schiff ever does is in the Men’s Room, with a friend (a helping hand, perhaps).
True, “An oath to a liar is...”
In front of an anti aircraft gun? ✈️
In PRIVATE??? That makes Nunes a oart the coverup.
Hook him up to a lie detector and air it live.
No problem. Just selectively leak the results.
