Schiff dismisses Trump's call for him to testify: 'What would I offer in terms of testimony?'
By Rebecca Klar - 11/24/19 10:01 AM EST

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) on Sunday dismissed President Trump's call for the congressman to testify in the Senate's impeachment trial.

"What would I offer in terms of testimony? That I heard [former National Security Council senior director for Europe and Russia Fiona Hill] say such and such?" Schiff said on CNN's "State of the Union."

"The only reason for them to go through this is to mollify the president, and that’s not a good reason to call a member of Congress," Schiff added.


However, Schiff did not go so far as to say he would refuse to testify if the Senate called him to do so.

Trump:  "That's for me to know and you to find out, Lil' Adam."

I will NOT comply.

Exactly what I was thinking.
It is not for a person called to testify to demand to know why first, before they decide whether or not to show up.
That's not how it works. None of the people Schiff has called to testify were told specifically why they were being called before their testimony.
You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

Is a member of Congress able to say no?

He'll certainly make a case for that.  He's sure to be one of the Impeachment Managers, and will claim he can't be called because he's a Prosecutor.
