while I agree what makes you think schiff would even testify truthfully? or plead the 5th

I’m not sure he could take the 5th. As the Supreme Court has ruled, impeachment is a political action, not a judicial action; therefore his 5th amendment rights should not apply.

Furthermore, it being within the confines of an official congressional duty, he would be protected under the Speech and Debate clause (article 1, section 6) of the Constitution. The courts have ruled that those who are immune to prosecution cannot take the 5th. I’d love to see Schiff held in contempt and impeached for failure to fulfill his constitutional duties.
