Schiff calls for open hearings on Trump's Iran actions
The Hill ^ | 1/06/20 | REBECCA KLAR

Posted on 01/06/2020 3:30:16 PM PST by Libloather

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) said he supports open House hearings regarding President Trump’s order last week for a strike that killed top Iranian commander Gen. Qassem Soleimani.

Schiff, who is among lawmakers who were briefed a day after last week’s attack, told The Washington Post there should be open hearings on the administration's decision to strike.

“The president has put us on a path where we may be at war with Iran. That requires the Congress to fully engage,” Schiff told the Post in an interview published Monday.

Schiff said there’s “absolutely no way” Trump’s threat to retaliate with “disproportionate” attacks, should Iran strike the U.S., reflects Pentagon planning.

“None of that could come out of the Pentagon,” Schiff said.

A Pentagon spokesperson was not immediately available for comment when contacted by The Hill.

“””””“The president has put us on a path where we may be at war with Iran. “””””””

Schiff is exactly right this time.

President Carter started the war with Iran in 1979 by being a pussy.

pResident hussein enabled it by giving Iran 150 billion dollars to fight us with.

I’m sure they’ll be conducted quietly in the basement.

If the GOP Senate weren’t total Wimps, Schiff would be too busy meeting with his Lawyers.

He’s always on the Offensive because no one holds him to account.

Graham is a Pu&&y.

Schiff: “Let’s show the world why our Founders were wise not to put these choices in our hands!”

Nuts.

They’re impeaching him for winning the presidency.

Now they want to impeach him for carrying out the duties of the president.

What the founding fathers forgot to do is to find a way to stop congress from abusing its powers.

“None of that could come out of the Pentagon,” Schiff said.

SO?

The "Pentagon" doesn't make policy. They carry it out.

Just pondering: If this nitwit, anti-Constitution, anti-Free-America loser was in a solitary cell at GITMO and was waterboarded with great prejudice, would he be calling for anything except mercy? Just pondering...

Very short “war”— which, btw Iran began, and declared in 1980 and has never rescinded. They ARE at war with us, already. And Schiff is a freaking moron poseur pedophile. Moving on to the next leftist agenda. Not gonna work, Schiffty— YOU, in fact are what is next.
