House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) says that the public shouldn’t be allowed to observe hearings in the ongoing impeachment inquiry, as doing so may allow Republicans to then “fabricate testimony” (and totally not because their case is falling apart).
On Sunday, Schiff told host Margaret Brennan that the ongoing impeachment inquiry is “analogous to a grand jury proceeding,” which is “done out of the public view initially.”
Rep Schiff says impeachment hearings must be secret because they're like grand jury; can't let Trump side coordinate stories.

Watch:
Based on a politically biased CIA officer’s second-hand complaint over a phone call between President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelensky in which Trump asked for an investigation of former VP Joe Biden, House Democrats have forged ahead with their impeachment inquiry despite several damaging revelations to their narrative; namely that the whistleblower worked with former Biden and two Schiff staffers.
More importantly, a transcript of the call in question reveals no such pressure or quid pro quo by Trump.
Meanwhile, Schiff booted GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz out of Monday morning testimony with former White House Russia adviser Fiona Hill, who resigned shortly before President Trump’s call with Zelensky.
Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), assuming he was allowed to sit in on the testimony because he’s a member of the House Judiciary Committee, found that he was mistaken.
Gaetz told the press that House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff had asked him to leave because only the Intelligence, Oversight and Reform, and Foreign Affairs committees, who are leading the impeachment inquiry, had the right to be there. -Town Hall
.@RepAdamSchiff is conducting his secretive impeachment proceedings in the basement of the Capitol, and now he’s kicked @mattgaetz out of today’s deposition.
This testimony should be available to every member of Congress and every single American. What is Schiff hiding?

Interesting, Schiff went from calling for Trump to release a transcript of the Zelensky call and the whistleblower complaint - which Trump did, to wanting everything done through non-public, ‘secretive’ proceedings.

“Schiff: Public Has No Right To Observe Impeachment Inquiry”
Isn’t that the way Lenin, Trotsky, Stalin, Adolph, Mao, and all the rest of the Communists worked… in the dark, hidden from view? You are following the dark path and We the People can and will vote you out of our office and our government. That is what the people can do.
Amen
The PENCIL NECK BAT SHIFFT CRAZY Idiot has elected itself a sUPREME KOMRAD apparently forgetting HE WORKS FOR US….may be a caning in the shed and some Coviv=cs lessons might get him to WALK ERECT
You are sooooo correct. The public has the right to know what is going on. Shiffy Shiff can not say anything that is true. The people are the Government. Not Pelosi and Schiff. What can we do? I want to know. I watched Levin the other night and he had all the evidence in letters. I had to save the other 30 mins. of Levin because my BP was getting high.
It’s all a show! They might as well be throwing peaches!
They want to distract and obstruct. The next. election.
One last chance to distroy our country
I hope people realize we have a choice but if a enough people choose socialism there will be no return.
Once they spend everything the only survival left will. be
Communism! Nothing is free except freedom of choice!
choose wrong. and that’s gone!
Beware the pide piper !
And who is paying for this???? if its the American people we have every right for it not to be in secret and behind close doors….Schiff the gang leader and his entire gang have got to go!!!!!
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) says that the public shouldn’t be allowed to observe hearings in the ongoing impeachment inquiry, as doing so may allow Republicans to then “fabricate testimony” (and totally not because their case is falling apart).
Wow, how low can you go there Mr. Schiff. A secret, secret meeting with their own “fabricated” testimony, but keep it all hush, hush because they don’t want the Republicans to “fabricate testimony”?
This is not a Third World Nation. This is NOT Hilary or Obama’s fiefdom. THIS IS THE USA, a FREE COUNTRY with a CONSTITUTION, and laws that must be followed.
With this “high and mighty” attitude, no wonder President Trump is still standing strong. A representative OF THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE, FOR THE PEOPLE.
This ALL must come to Light! And these reps definitely need to answer to the People! No more HIDDEN AGENDAS!!!!!!
SHIFTY IS A WALKING DEADMAN. SOON MANY POLITICIANS TAKE DIRT-NAPS. BYE BYE, SWAMP CLEANING IS GOING TO BE FUN! THE EXCITEMENT LEADING UP TO THE FIREWORKS IS INTOXICATING!
Isn’t there something that can be done about this. Every American should look at this in this way. You are being accused of very severe crimes. The only one who canhear witnesses testimony is the prosecutor and the only one can know what is said is the prosecutor. All you get to do is have no legal council. And no evidence to be examined and that’s how a division would be made. No cross examine no nothing and not even know who is stating this crimes against you. Would you think it was right or fair? No you would not! This is Marxism, Nazism etc. Any American that can say that is ok is lying and you know it. What can be done to stop this can anyone tell me that? If you side with Democrats that’s who you are and if they have all this evidence why are they so afraid that they can file impeachment and why are the so afraid to allow these rights by the constitution. They are breaking the law. They make up things and lie only real ease what parts they want and twist truth. Is that the kind of American you are. That’s not what American was built on to be. You all need to look at yourselves if you feel this way. They do this to look good publicly and there is no other reason but for the political arena. This is what you want our country to be is a political vote drumming way no a fair just process. This is not impeachment. This is a game Schiff Pelosi etc have conjured up. There has to be a way to stop this. They need to be stopped for not holding due process and violating the constitution.
Relax, OUR REPUBLIC is about to be REBORN. Our Republic is cleansed every couple of centuries, or so, with BLOOD! Lotsa’ BLOOD. That blood will flow from gaping holes in politician-bodies and some from Patriots, unrighteously shot-down by dumb-ass auto-matons who cannot think for themselves and take orders and favors from evil, wretched, soulous humans who lust 4 $, power, and illicit sex, sometimes with children. Sound outlandish? FOR REAL, it is but THAT IS WHAT IT IS! GET READY
This a complete violation of Constitutional impeachment procedures and a violation of Trump’s fourteenth amendment rights. There a few things that you can do. You can contact your congressional representative and your respective senators and complain about this illegal/inappropriate action as often as you can. You can also have your friends, family and like minded acquaintances do the same as often as they can. Also contact them electronically on a daily basis and inundate their offices. When election time comes, VOTE THIS SCUMSUCKING SLIME OUT OF OFFICE. You can check on line to find any petitions that are demanding an open, honest and impartial investigation and be a cosigner of those petitions.
Schiff should be kicked out of Congress, and then America. He is an evil person who is against our country and its leaders.
Tbe only fabricater id schitty ss fsr ss I see. The kangaroo court is a joke that costs taxpayers money and is worthless just like the demorats holding it. Time to put a stop to these idiots and their joke. Conservatives must act and vote these losers out.
Not to worry about money. Pelosi withdrew another $2,billion from the Social Security trust fund to generously fund the ongoing coup de tat. Yes, they’re using OUR money and future payments for retirees. Add that to the $2.6 trillion already pilfered by Dems.
Well I guess it is time for the People to march into the halls of Congress and drag Adam Shifty lying Schiff out of his office along with Pelosi in to the streets of DC to never let them back in again. This is not a legal proceeding it is entirely against the way the Constitution set up impeachment requirements. The sleazy sneaky lying democrats are making up their own rules and laws to try and bring down our President and to undo a legal binding fair election of 2016. This is the most pathetic stupid bunch of idiots I have ever seen and until we the people take em out they will keep on lying to the people of the USA who are also in collusion with all the liberal left wing main stream media and the likes of George Soros and his klang of Anti Americans who hate our country.
I am so tired of reading that we should take our country back. For some reason we haver lost our balls and don’t seem to want to take our country back. We let the democrats do what ever they want to do to us and we do nothing but talk about them and they couldn’t care less what we say because they know we will do nothing about them. WE are paying them to F**K us and they enjoy getting our money. I’m ashame to be writing this but it seems to be true. All I hear is talk and like I said most of the idiots in congress, democrats and republicans, couldn’t care less what we say. I know there will be a lot of people writing nasty notes to me but you know what, like most of congress, I don’t give a damn because it’s just talk. SAD!!
He is an arrogant little so and so, and seems to forget who he works for. It is time that “We the People of the United States of America take back our Government, starting with term Limits. This is a decision of the people, not the politicians. Let’s get started.
We all should DEMAND that there be MORE BEHIND CLOSE DOOR Secrete meetings that we the people are entitled to hear. These types of enquirers always be public knowledge just as Clinton and Nixon impeachment proceedings were. These democrats are acting just as those dictators of the past Hitler Stalin and all the others who took away the right of the Citizens to know what goes on. They took away the rights of the people which we can not allow to happen here we must stop these idiots in their tracks. They do not listen to who put them in office they only converse with the likes of them left wing political Islamic, communistic power hungry slave owners of Uncle sams plantationg where they want all of us go be. Never to be able to think for our selves or be free to make our own choices. We should never ever allow any one to take away one freedom from us ever. Once they do we loose. We must stop them. Where are our Republicans. How dare they kick any one from the Republican party off this should show these people are illegally committing no good for our country.
You think it’s bad now? Try to imagine what will transpire if the Dems ever get total control of our government. This is the first clues to pay attention to of what to expect on their communist power grab. The Constitution will be null & void and the secret tribunals will be established in every local govt.
What evil, diabolical Plan Does Schiff have up his sleeve? You know it’s one sided. Schiff should be removed from office & tried for treason.
And they wonder why Republicans don’t want to cooperate!!;
ATTENTION: … AMERICA WE ARE UNDER ATTACK! … The Organization hiding behind the name Democrat Party is leading the Assault against our Constitution, Our Gun Rights, our Freedom of Religion, Our Right To Transparency of this recent Impeachment Inquiry? … HOW DO WE FIGHT BACK! … WITH OUR VOTES! … VOTE!!! … EVERY LAST DEMOCRAT OUT-OF-OFFICE! …. While we still have the RIGHT-TO-VOTE!
Don’t forget the Rino Republicans that go along with them Democrat’s. They need to go now.
Reading comments by Patriots and reminding that our freedoms are defended by 3 boxes: the ballot box, the jury box. & the cartridge box. The Dems have disenfranchised our votes with this coup, the courts are still packed with Obama appointed communists, and they are trying to disarm us. If they take our cartridge boxes we will be at their mercy. The time to act grows closer with every unconstitutional action. As has been said: the tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots.
To the citizens who made statements about members of Congress; you whine and complain but don’t do anything about it. This not new this has been going for years. So get off your dead a-s and do something about it. Support Trump because he’s the final and last President. The only out!is a CIVIL WAR by the people and vote these people out!!
NO, this is not going to fly with Republicans and should alarm everyone. This is wrong 😡, I’m calling my Senators. This is total BS!!!
the dumbocrats are so locked into the “beltway” that there is no real sense of the “heat” that is out here in the REAL world.. Son of liberty, you have it exactly right. When,(not if) the sh-t hits the fan “they” will be taken out. Any “security” with a working brain cell will opt out. (or pay the price). As a combat marine I have no desire to engage. But, the oath I took still stands. I WILL fight to protect and defend this nation against all enemies ,both foreign or domestic. I HOPE the idiots espousing communism wake up soon or I fear we will not have a choice! 2nd battalion ,1st marines Vietnam . Semper Fi to all my brothers
The frustrating thing is democrats have been elected from democratically controlled area’s and their constituents will continue to vote to keep them in congress, and sad to say, this will not change.
Being in a democratically controlled State, where the Republicans play “nice” with the Democrats for “scrapes” thrown by the Dems there way, I see there will be no change unless the People actually rise up. Both parties sold out to the “globalists”. And Republicans refuse to put anyone of substance up against the Democratic elite. Also, lets not forget, Corey Booker, running for President, had the laws changed so when he looses the “presidential nod”, he can come back to the Democratic trough free and clear.
I hope votes work. I hope with all my heart that they are enough. The Democrats are so lawless that they may not care. After all the Impeachment farce is an attempt to invalidate the 2016 election. If 2020 leaves us with radicals still trying to tie up all government, then the votes will not have worked. Are you ready for the alternative? “The tree of liberty must often be watered with the blood of patriots and tyrants” We are dangerously close to living in a nation that is that full of untruth, lawlessness and extremism. So full of hatred. Be prepared.
It’s time to get rid of schiff and for good. Enough of this non-American.
CAN HIM!!!
My favorite quote. I can’t use it too much. Schiff and all of his Progressives certainly fit the bill.
“Inside Every Progressive Is A Totalitarian Screaming To Get Out”KH2L
Twitter @Horowitz39, David Horowitz
270fps. Shitt is gone 6ft under. He can be the first Brick to fall in the Democrat party eradication!
This is one nasty criminal Bolshevik making up his OWN KGB laws as a criminal fascist tyranny against our American system. Why is he making up this secrecy apart from the rule of law??
We the people have the right to hear everything that goes on in congress. We pay your sorry butts even though none of the congress democrats have earned their salaries since the 2016 election
A closed impeachment hearing is not valid. In a case like this the public has a right to know, not to be left in the dark. This ban should be immediately challenged and all proceeding should be stopped until its resolution is determined.Adam Schiff should be removed from the judicial comity for his attempt skew the findings and hide the facts from the public.
so many democrats and republicans are the biggest criminals on the planet,… we need a much bigger toilet to do some major flushing.
We the people do have a right and you assholes work for us…..Meathead….
Hey A$$bag Schittless, you couldn’t be more wrong than now. The American citizens have an absolute right to know and see the facts as they truly are. We are fed up with your secrecy, your lies and half truths, your holier than thou attitude, your sound bite leaks and this treasonous act by you and the rest of of the demoscum sleezebags. You and your princess Paloozer have stomped all over the Constitution with reckless disregard for it because of your severe case of Trump Derangment Syndrome.
You all are elected representatives of the citizens of the United States and are failing to conduct yourselves in accordance with your sworn oath of office. You are a disgrace to this nation and you and your ilk should resign.
“Schiff: Public Has No Right To Observe Impeachment Inquiry…Then Kicks GOP Lawmaker Out”
The public has every right to observe the impeachment inquiry. What the representative, schiffty the dim has no right to, is a job and a paycheck living on the public dole as a rep. of the House. Get rid of this fool.
The American Citizens have no right nor do the Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee of “withholding existence of documents” on the impeachment. To those who sent the letter regarding the concerns of this “snow job” AGAINST our President, Thank you! NOW DO SOMETHING!!!!
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/10/18/house-intel-republicans-adam-schiff-is-hiding-impeachment-documents-from-us/
This is just wrong. Just like when Obamacare was introduced and Pelosi said you can read it AFTER you sign it. Know that not one republican signed it, but “crickets” afterwards….
Thank you Congressman Biggs! And the 174 Republicans who signed on to condemn House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA).
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/10/18/173-house-republicans-move-to-condemn-adam-schiff-as-floor-vote-approaches/
Time to do more than just “condemn”. But this is a start as it’s been a long time since the Republicans had any kind of “backbone”. That I truly THANK President Trump for.
