“As we move into the open hearing phase of the inquiry, the Committee is mindful that we are engaged in a sober endeavor rooted in the Constitution to determine whether the President of the United States engaged in misconduct that warrants impeachment by the House,” he continued in the statement.

He then warned that the impeachment inquiry will not be used to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter Biden, or allegations of Ukrainian meddling in the 2016 U.S. presidential elections.

“This inquiry is not, and will not serve, however, 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 the President’s effort to threaten, intimidate, and retaliate against the whistleblower who courageously raised the initial alarm,” Schiff said.

But they will continue their own sham investigation in a series of sham investigations.

A bold move as more of the uninformed are waking up to this partisan charade.

It’s not an impeachment trial.

Adam Schiff, as much as he fantasizes, is not the judge, and this isn’t anything more than a fishing expedition.

This isn’t impeachment, because impeachment is a trial before the senate with the SCOTUS as judge. This is Adam Schiff’s Fantasy Show.

Republicans should just walk out at this point. Make a statement that says that if Adam Shifftforbrains is going to fix this and refuses to let us put on any defense, there's no reason for us to participate in the orchestrated sham of which Scifforbrains is a central criminal suspect.

And then, Mitch McConnell should release a statement saying that if this reaches the Senate, he can assure Adam Shifftforbrains that all of the witnesses on the Republican witness list will be subpoenad to testify in public on national television, including Adam Shifftforbrains himself as a key criminal conspirator.

He is such a phony lying POS ignorant little slimy, bulging eyed rat.

So all of a sudden he is not interested in foreign countries meddling in our 2016 elections like Trump was in the phone call. What an idiot. This is a gift to Trump's side. The Schiff for brains self appointed King is so arrogant and in a bubble he has no idea...

Schiff for brains the self appointed special prosecutor King is showing his hyper-partisan fangs. Who died and made him judge and jury that what the Biden's and Obama did is a sham investigation? There has been no investigation as all dems get a pass and are above the law. All while Schiff overlooks his sham investigation.

The American people that are awake with half of a brain in flyover country are sick of watching this fricking childish food fight. The R's need to take a vote with Turtle and shut it down.

Lying sack of shite. The reason that must be delved into is because Trump's entire defense is based on his legitimate and justifiable concerns about Ukrainian corruption specifically involving the Hunter Biden and potentially Joe connection therewith, as well as Ukrainian election meddling.

The Dems have dismissed those concerns as conspiracy theory, thus an effort to show that it's not conspiracy theory is, again, paramount to Trump's defense.

Nothing bad enough could happen to Schiff for my tastes.

This is not a serious exercise. They are just trying to interfere in the 2020 election.

Schiff is attempting to obstruct justice by levying impeachment against the President in retaliation for investigating potential corruption by Schiff’s political ally.

One of the dudes on the Gutfeld Show last night, Tom Shillue is his name, did a hilariously unflattering impersonation of Schiff last night. It was nice.

Is that not the basis for the whole quid pro quo?

He's handed the Senate GOP the excuse to summarily dismiss any Articles of Impeachment

This was predictable.

The impeachment will be along party lines.

It will be crushed in the Senate.

Trump will win a landslide in 2020.

Tl,Dr-Adam Schiff screws little boys.

So we're not going to look in to verifiable, legitimate, corruption involving quid pro Joe, but will continue to focus on impeaching a president simply because we don't like him. Gotcha!
