The House Intelligence Committee and its chairman Adam Schiff invoked “sovereign immunity” in a motion to dismiss a Judicial Watch lawsuit seeking to obtain controversial phone records subpoenas issued during the Trump impeachment inquiry.

The committee’s subpoenas of phone records ultimately led to the publication of multiple Americans’ phone records, including those of reporter John Solomon, California Rep. Devin Nunes, the president’s lawyer Rudy Giuliani and others.

There is no Congressional exception to the 4th Amendment Shiffty.

Schiff must be held accountable. Transparency is our friend.

[southernindymom]

He really needs to go to hell and soon

[Sacajaweau]

What the hell is sovereign immunity?

[Leep]

How, or why, should he granted immunity for phone conversations that don’t involve him?
Or, am i misunderstanding something?

[Diogenesis]

accountable?
this criminal could rape a dead black child
and walk
heck, he could even kill witnesses and get away with it.

[Mouton]

This clown should be prosecuted for avoiding a judges order by ridicules legal process.

[jimbug]

Hang him and he can be with his mentors in Hell.

[SPRINK]

I wonder what the reaction would be if Nunez did this ti schifty.....

[JParris]

If “sovereign immunity” exists there would never be a Freedom of Information request granted.

Sorry, shifty, try again.....

[existentially_kuffer]

Odd, Schiff had no problem exposing others when he rushed to the media with the latest on the Russian collusion.

[RKV]

Bingo.

[kosciusko51]

Wait, isn’t claiming immunity obstruction of justice?

[SkyDancer]

Schiffty claims he’s above the law.

[RKV]

No you have the facts. And what Shiffty did was a felony.

1. A Congress member is exempted from arrest while attending a session of the body to which the member belongs, excluding an arrest for treason, breach of the peace, or a felony, or;

2.A Congress member is exempted from arrest or interrogation for any speech or debate entered into during a legislative session.

One thing that I like about coronavirus is that it’s kept this jerk from the tv. I had forgotten about him until this article.

[RKV]

Yes! It is in fact “obstruction of justice.”

[pepsionice]

It sounds like something you’d get in Peru or Bolivia.

[silverleaf]

Geez, is that more important than “ executive privilege” they denied the President?

At one time I would have disputed your claim. However, with what I have seen over the past 3 years, our whole system is corrupt, including the FBI. Congress is basically a group of gangsters, and there is no legal restraint. We have a two tier system. But make no mistake, the law applies to you and me.
