Doug Collins wants Adam Schiff to testify before House Judiciary Committee

SQUIRREL!

Doug Collins wants Adam Schiff to testify before House Judiciary Committee
“Why are they hiding the stuff from us?”

Rep. Doug Collins (R-Ga.) said Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee would have House Intelligence Chair Adam Schiff testify in their impeachment hearing and claimed the parameters of the impeachment investigation were skewed against the president.

"If he chooses not to" testify, Collins said Sunday of Schiff (D-Calif.), "then I really question his veracity in what he's putting in his report."


The Intelligence Committee is expected to release its report on its impeachment investigation Monday. If the committee votes Tuesday to approve the findings, the Judiciary Committee will begin hearings Wednesday in order to draft articles of impeachment. Collins is the ranking Republican on the Judiciary panel.

Speaking with hist Chris Wallace on “Fox News Sunday,“ Collins complained that Judiciary Chair Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.) gave Republicans on his committee an unrealistic timeline to digest the findings of the Intelligence Committee's report. Collins said Nadler gave them until Friday to present a list of witnesses to testify, which he said was too soon after the expected release of Schiff's findings.

"Why are they hiding the stuff from us?" Collins said. "If they think they have such a case, give us all the materials and don't let Jerry Nadler write a crazy letter that says on the sixth, let us know who your witnesses are. We don't even have the information from the Intel committee yet. This is why this is a problematic exercise and simply a made-for-TV event coming on Wednesday."

... I think Devin Nunes is much more involved and likely to reveal something new about the Trump/Ukraine crime.

if the Chairman, Adam Schiff is required to testify then
Mr. Collins, Gym Jordan, and all of the other naysayers
should also be required to testify under oath.

because the Democrats are going to walk the republican yahoos on the committee into a corner and force the issue. Bank on it. Oh, and my Magic 8-Ball says it isn't going to be pretty.
