Schiff warns GOP: Impeachment probe won't undertake 'sham' investigations into Bidens
By Tal Axelrod - 11/09/19 02:16 PM EST

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), the chair of the House Intelligence Committee, warned Republicans that the panel’s impeachment investigation would not be used to probe former Vice President Joe Biden or unfounded claims that Ukraine was involved in election meddling in 2016.

“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 in a statement.

The remarks come after House Republicans unveiled a list of witnesses they plan to call before the Intelligence Committee for the impeachment probe. Included in the list are Hunter Biden, the former vice president’s son, the anonymous whistleblower who first raised concerns about President Trump’s dealings with Ukraine and Nellie Ohr, a former Fusion GPS employee who is a top Republican target over their claims she helped produce the Steele dossier.

No problem - that gives the Senate all the justification they need to call them, where the tone, timing and selective leaking will be far more damaging to Biden.

Sure, if it's what they have to do to secure an acquittal.  If they have the votes without it, McConnell will let it slide, to his everlasting shame.
