In ‘Shocking’ Decision, Democrats Decline GOP’s Request For Schiff, Whistleblower Testimony

1210

In what will come as a shock to absolutely no one who has been paying attention, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Nadler has denied Republicans’ request to seek testimony from Rep. Adam Schiff and the so-called ‘whistleblower’.

Full letter below:

Dear Ranking Member Collins:

Thank you for your letter dated December 6, 2019, responding to my November 29 letter concerning whether you would like to pursue the issuance of subpoenas or interrogatories under H. Res. 660. In your letter you make eight requests for witnesses to appear before the Committee, as well as any witnesses “requested by the President.” My response to these requests are as follows:

First, since we received your letter, we understand the President is not requesting any witnesses to appear in our impeachment proceedings so there is no further reason to address that request.

With respect to your requests that the Committee obtain testimony from Chairman Schiff as well as “[Ole anonymous whistleblower whose complaint initiated this ‘impeachment inquiry,'” the Committee has previously tabled motions with regard to these matters at its December 4, 2019 hearing, and I see no reason to reconsider those requests. Moreover, the Intelligence Committee report has adduced independent evidence for its conclusions that do not rely upon the whistleblower in any way and Intelligence committee counsel will be testifying as provided for by H.R 660, and thus there is no need for Chairman Schiff.

Five of your remaining requests were previously made by Ranking Member Nunes during the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence impeachment proceedings, and were rejected by that Committee. In doing so, Chairman Schiff stated, “[t]his inquiry is not, and will not serve…as a vehicle to undertake the same sham investigations into the Bidens or 2016 that the President pressed Ukraine to conduct for his personal political benefit, or to facilitate thePresident’s effort to threaten, intimidate, and retaliate against the whistleblower who President’s effort to threaten, intimidate, and retaliate against the whistleblower who courageously raised the initial alarm.” I concur in Chairman Schiff’s assessment and also find that these requests outside of the parameters of the impeachment inquiry as set forth in the report issued by the Rules Committee to accompany H. Res. 660.1 The same is true of your remaining request concerning “[t]he Intelligence Community employee who spoke with Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Vindman about President Trump’s July 25 phone call.”

As described in my November 29 letter, I remain prepared to schedule a meeting at the conclusion of today’s hearing should you choose to refer to the Committee for decision the question of whether to subpoena any or all of these witnesses or would like to make any other requests under section 4(c) of H. Res. 660.

Sincerely,

Jerrold Nadler

And so the farce continues.

  1. “First, since we received your letter, we understand the President is not requesting any witnesses to appear in our impeachment proceedings so there is no further reason to address that request.”

    So you can take your Obstruction of Congress of the Impeachment scam circle jerk. House Republicans are involved in this as they have been working hard to find out what is going on. It’s not just the President but the House Minority’s job to find out. So basically Nadler is obstructing Congress.

    “With respect to your requests that the Committee obtain testimony from Chairman Schiff as well as “[Ole anonymous whistleblower whose complaint initiated this ‘impeachment inquiry,’” the Committee has previously tabled motions with regard to these matters at its December 4, 2019 hearing, and I see no reason to reconsider those requests. Moreover, the Intelligence Committee report has adduced independent evidence for its conclusions that do not rely upon the whistleblower in any way and Intelligence committee counsel will be testifying as provided for by H.R 660, and thus there is no need for Chairman Schiff.”

    Again obstructing Congress. The Whistleblower started this and Schiffy Schiff talked to him, didn’t talk to him and “hearsay” from independent evidence does NOT a conclusion make. The House Minority needs to do their job and talking directly to he/she who started all this and finding out what Schiffy Schiff knew of this whisteblower is essential. Regarding the “irrelevance” of the whistleblower, he’s irrelevant to the Dems who are using his/her testimony to bring on this scam.

    So basically Pelosi, Nadler and Schiff are barring the House Minority from learning the facts of this case because it’s THEIR job to do this.

    What a true circle jerk. Thank you to all the House Minority Republicans who have tried to do their job but have been blocked every step of the way.

    GOD BLESS PRESIDENT TRUMP! GOD BLESS THE USA!

    Well IF it gets to the Senate, I can now see it wise to just vote NO because there is NO evidence from the House Dem’s impeachment scam. Why waste any more time with this. As much as I would LOVE to see Senate question Schiff, the Whistleblower, Hunter Biden, this truly isn’t the venue to get the answers or get the charges necessary to bring justice for We the People for the absolute abuse of power from the Democrats and Obama and his administration.

    BUT something has to be done. We the People deserve answers and see justice because this is TRULY an abuse of power, laws have been broken and to be able to get trust back into Government something has to be done.

    GOD BLESS PRESIDENT TRUMP! GOD BLESS THE USA!

    So Mr. Barr it’s up to you and Mr. Durham to show We the People that justice will be served for this treasonous crime against not only the President, but innocent people and also the waste of so much time with lots of wasted money. We the People deserve this. And for this to never happen again, a slap on the wrist will not stop this. This is blatant TREASON. This is blatant SPYING! This is WORSE than what Nixon did. Don’t care who Bill Clinton slept with, unless it was with underage girls, but to me this is just a Dem grievance for what Bill Clinton had to go thru.

    It’s a sham and if it’s allowed to just be swept under the rug, than this will prove that in the future any party, whether it’s Dem or Republican can STOP USA business on a political whim with impeachment.

    This is a sad, dark time in this Country. To heal someone has to pay. Don’t care who’s toes you have to step on.

    GOD BLESS PRESIDENT TRUMP! GOD BLESS THE USA!

    • https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/12/10/democrat-rep-karen-bass-id-support-impeachment-again-if-trump-reelected/

      So here it is. We go all thru this and when we elect President Trump we will have to go all thru this again. This is just a pathetic waste of time. AND money that could be used for We the People. But it’s not the case. Foreign government is WAY more lucrative and using OUR tax dollars to get the lucrative foreign money has been a boondaggle for them.

      “A boondoggle is a project that is considered a waste of both time and money, yet is often continued due to extraneous policy or political motivations.”

      This has to stop. If not, then I support 100% a civil war to put an end to this. We the People need to protect OUR Constitution because it seems those in power have sold it out for personal gain to be WORLD leaders, NOT USA leaders.

      Disgusting.

      GOD BLESS PRESIDENT TRUMP! GOD BLESS THE USA!

  5. K.Z.: I CONCUR COMPLETELY WITH ALL THAT YOU’VE SAID. I COULD NOT HAVE STATED IT BETTER. ANY, AND I DO MEAN ANY, REPUBLICAN WHO VOTES TO IMPEACH SHOULD BE SUMMARILY DRUMMED OUT OF OUR PARTY. I’M THINKING OF PEOPLE LIKE ROMNEY AND THE REST OF THE TURNCOATS WHO ARE THEMSELVES SUCKING UP SWAMP WATER DAILY SO LONG AS THEY CAN BENEFIT MONETARILY. THEY ARE TRULY DESPICABLE.

    • Because of the Rino’s in 2018 we get this rabble. Yes elections do have consequences so what will the House, who Republicans are leaving in droves going to give us in 2020?

      https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/12/11/ocasio-cortez-likens-child-rearing-to-dog-breeding-during-hearing-on-paid-family-leave/

      “AOC comparing raising children to breeding dogs shouldn’t surprise anyone. This is standard fare for the Congresswoman,” former Trump campaign and White House official Steven Cheung wrote. “Further proof that elections have consequences.”

      A 30 year old bartender, who’s district is full of illegal aliens who want to make prostitution legal for their sex trade. I guess these are the “dogs” you spoke of? Want to give them free family leave along with free everything else? And give them their business of free illegal id’s along with child traficking for prostitution. Will AOC be the next Epstein? Peddling underage children for the pleasure of sick old men?

      Disgusting really.

      GOD BLESS PRESIDENT TRUMP! GOD BLESS THE USA!

  6. Their getting kick backs and not reporting it as income, tax evasion, come on Bar , and Trump, charge them with treason and execute them, and confiscate all their property to pay back all that they stole fro us.

    • God knows the Republicans are far from perfect! The Demonrats have always been like this. This crap shows the whole world, this will happen if we don’t like you! They can’t ever say anything about anyone else. I can just imagine if Hitlery won the election. I would vote against Jesus if he was a Demonrat.

  7. https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/12/11/ocasio-cortez-tired-of-being-told-that-free-college-is-a-handout-nobody-else-is-giving-us-a-damn-thing/

    “Nobody else is giving us a damn thing,” she said to applause. “We build this on our own. We fund it. We establish it. We fight for it. We create it. And no one should be able to take it away from us as they have been. So that’s that on that”:

    Hey Stupid Bartender, who do you mean by “we”. Your illegal aliens? Who are funding it? No We the People are being FORCED to fund all your illegal alien handouts? Guess what, my pocketbook is CLOSED. And yes if We the People are being ripped off from money that We the People earn, then We the People can take it away from you, PERIOD. Time to send all your illegals packing. And if the Government doesn’t, then shame on them, We the People will.

    Yep elections have consequences. And here is the BIG mistake that was allowed to get into Government, along with the other Socialist/Communist/Islamic 3. Go tell the UN to go pay for your illegals. Tell them it has to do with climate change. Because the climate is changing AGAINST illegals here. Tired of paying, tired of having illegals KILL innocent Americans, etc. And tired of THEIR representative spewing their BS!!!!

    GOD BLESS PRESIDENT TRUMP! GOD BLESS THE USA!

  8. Remember that the Democratic Party would not support Abraham Lincoln’s administration either. The Great Emancipator freed the slaves. This totally pissed off the DemoKkkratic Party .They foundedr the KKK because of their hatred for Blacks. How ironic that the current KKK Party, calls anyone who opposes them racist. Now they attack the President that has done more for Black people since Lincoln. The KKK hasn’t changed and the Democrats are simply up to their old tricks.UT5V

    So you include the time of the Mueller scam with your Schiffy impeachment? But don’t use any of the Mueller scam stuff and give a water down version of the impeachment scam? Why? Because you have NOTHING on the President. But LOTS on what Obama and his Administration did against the presidential candidate and the newly elected president.

    “she added, “If we did not hold him accountable, he would continue to undermine our elections. Nothing less is at stake than the central point of our democracy, of a free and fair election not to be disrupted by foreign powers.”

    So you lied again. You said you were worried about the Constitution and what our Forefathers set down for this Great Nation. It IS all about the election. The one you lost in 2016 and the one you will loose in 2020. Pathetic, a Catholic that lies and thinks it’s ok to murder babies to sell their body parts. I think you had too much plastic surgery. You skin is so tight it’s affecting your brain as you can not even make up your mind what this impeachment scam is all about.

    GOD BLESS PRESIDENT TRUMP! GOD BLESS THE USA!

  10. https://www.breitbart.com/clips/2019/12/10/jackson-lee-there-is-no-room-for-censure-at-this-time/

    “These are constitutional crimes. I think it’s important for the American people to know that the Constitution is a law. It is the law, and therefore, you can have constitutional crimes. … And I consider this a continuing threat to the 2020 election. For that reason, there is no room for censure at this time.”

    Yep and Hillary had some but Comey “shoved them under the so-called carpet”. And then when Hilary lost, BAM, second later, impeachment. No crimes done, nothing . Just because you don’t like him and your girl lost BIGLY!!!!

    And then your personal anger at the President was so bad, that that nasty woman from the Nadler’s impeachment show, who made that nasty comment about the President’s son made you laugh.

    So are you really worried about the Constitution? Where does it say in the Constitution that if you really, really, really hate someone you can make up false charges against them? Or actually use the charges that Hiliary, Obama, Biden, Kerry, and the rest of your ilk got away with?

    Amazing, Dems could care less about the Constitution, laws, etc, but they have been braying a lot lately about them both. Gee, just to justify their dirty deeds. Shame, shame.

    GOD BLESS PRESIDENT TRUMP! GOD BLESS THE USA!

  11. https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/12/10/the-nuclear-option-obama-spied-fbi-lied-but-trump-impeached/

    Excellent article Mr. Hurt!.

    “At that time, Mr. Trump was an avowed political opponent. Any decision made by the Obama administration to spy on officials inside the Trump campaign was of massive, profound constitutional import. It is in these moments where a country is either a nation of laws or a banana republic.

    It is either “equal justice under law” or a police state.”

    We are finding out just how much of a “police state” Obama’s administration had become. There was never “equal justice under the law” under Obama. It was always DO AS I SAY. And anyone object “RACIST” or as Tucker Carlson always says, “YOU ARE A RUSSIAN”.

    “First, there is plenty of evidence of deep-seated hatred of Mr. Trump spewed these biased jackboots. Second, what on earth is “political bias,” anyway? Wearing an “I’m With Her” T-shirt while applying for a secret warrant to spy on the administration’s political opponents?

    Yeah, well, I am sure John Wilkes Booth was not motivated by “political bias,” either.

    But other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?”

    Nailed it!

    GOD BLESS PRESIDENT TRUMP! GOD BLESS THE USA!

  12. https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/12/11/daniel-goldman-lead-impeachment-investigator-claimed-steele-dossier-was-true/

    “Goldman claimed the Steele dossier was true in a tweet in August 2018 attacking President Donald Trump as an “out and out liar.” Goldman tweeted: “Nothing in the dossier has proved to be false (including your pee tape).”

    “Goldman did not limit his endorsement of the Steele dossier to Twitter. In a July 2018 article he co-authored for the Daily Beast, Goldman argued that the FBI had a duty to use the information in the Steele dossier to pursue its investigation of possible Russian infiltration of the Trump campaign.”

    Gee, this is who Schiff sent in to present his work in Nadler’s impeachment scam? The one that said the whistleblower was irrelevant in the case?

    Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) confronted Goldman with his anti-Trump tweet at the House Judiciary Committee hearing on Monday, after Goldman had declared, under oath: “I am not a partisan.”

    Yea sure your not, lol. Just like there was no ‘political bias’ fraudulently opening up a FISA warrant against Carter Page. No ‘political bias’ wiretapping spies to interview certain innocent people.

    Thank you again to the team “Operation Medusa”. Now you can actually see that you did indeed cut the head of this Obama created monster.

    Some heads really need to roll on this. This is truly a HUGE disgrace, and a HUGE black mark on this Country’s history.

    GOD BLESS PRESIDENT TRUMP! GOD BLESS THE USA!
