Rep Schiff Directing Witnesses Not To Answer GOP Questions
2019-10-30
[The Federalist] House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., who is overseeing the ongoing illegitimate impeachment inquiry set in motion by Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., is reportedly telling witnesses testifying not to answer questions asked by Republican lawmakers.

Speaking to reporters on Capitol Hill, House Minority Whip Steve Scalise, R-La., slammed the hidden process claiming Schiff was instructing witnesses testifying behind the closed doors of the SCIF not to answer questions asked by Republican members.

"He’s directing witnesses not to answer questions that he doesn’t want the witness to answer if they’re asked by Republicans," Scalise charged. "He’s not cut off one Democrat. He’s not interrupted one Democrat and told a witness not to answer Democrat members’ questions but today he started telling witnesses not to answer questions by certain Republicans."

#9  Vindman is the leak.

But he said he wasn’t the leak, and he only shared the transcript with a few people. And he was wearing his full dress uniform with all the service ribbons, so he must have been telling the truth.

#8  One question that Schiff barred a witness from answering reportedly came from Ohio Republican Congressman Jim Jordan, who asked Vindman to disclose the individuals with whom he shared information about the July 25 phone call between President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymr Zelensky.

“Adam Schiff says, ‘no-no-no we’re not going to let him answer that question,’” Jordan said as reported by Fox News.

Vindman is the leak. He needs to go to jail.

#5  Banana republic kangaroo trail is a go!

If I was a Republican asking questions, and Schiff demanded the witness not answer me, Schiff would then get a major ass kicking on live TV.

If they can do that here, why can't they do it for every Congressional inquiry?
