Schiff hints he'll push House to impeach Trump for blocking witnesses
by Susan Ferrechio

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff said the White House is obstructing an impeachment inquiry by blocking the United States ambassador to the European Union and other key witnesses from testifying.

“We consider this act today, and the withholding of the ambassador’s documents and other efforts to discourage other State Department witnesses, as further acts of obstruction of a co-equal branch of government,” Schiff said Tuesday.

The California Democrat made the accusation after the State Department blocked Gordon Sondland’s testimony hours before his scheduled appearance at a closed-door session on Capitol Hill.

The Trump administration also refused to turn over text messages sent by Sondland related to concerns President Trump was withholding security aid to Ukraine in an effort to get the government to investigate actions by Democrats during the 2016 election.

...while refusing to disclose the testimonies of those who were questioned.

Go ahead and have a vote, House Dems!
If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

It's not an impeachment inquiry.   It hasn't been approved by the full House, the minority has no rights to call its own witnesses,  and the accused has been denied the basic right to confront his anonymous accuser, whose charges are based on hearsay. 

It's a kangaroo court.

I guess the question I have is, can the Rats find a Judge willing to rule it's not a kangaroo court?  If Andrew Napalitano was still a Judge, he would do that.
