Schiff Calls for More Investigations — ‘Make Sure the American People Understand’ Trump’s Misconduct

Pam Key 7 Feb 2020

Representative Adam Schiff (D-CA) said Friday on NPR’s “Morning Edition” that he would like to continue investigating President Donald Trump’s “misconduct” by hearing testimony from acting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.

Host Steve Inskeep asked, “Two officials, I could name many, but two officials still in the administration that you wanted to hear from — Mick Mulvaney and Secretary of State Pompeo — do you still want to hear from them?”

Schiff said, “I would still like to hear from them. But we have to make the decision about next steps in consultation with our caucus and our leadership.”

He added, “what we’ll need to weigh is the need to validate Congress’ oversight authority, the need to make sure the American people understand the full length and breadth of the president’s misconduct, as well as others in the administration that were part of the misconduct. And at the same time, the imperative of keeping our legislative agenda first and foremost and striking the right balance between the two.”

Yes! Please! Do the stupidest possible thing!
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.

Note to Schitt:  If you want to make the people understand, why don't you hit the lecture circuit and quit running off at the mouth on my dime!

My $.02.  You get what you pay for.

Congress has oversight authority over executive agencies.  They don't have "oversight" over the President.

Exactly!
But schiff still does not understand.... The House has the authority to investigate ONLY if there is a formal vote by the entire house which delegates authority to specific committees and people to issue subpoenas.   You can fill out paperwork all day long and toss it over the fence around the White House but unless the authority has been delegated the administration can ignore it.

@Maj. Bill Martin

It doesn't matter. They ARE going to impeach Trump again because it's the only chance they have of getting a Dim president.

4 more years of a Trump presidency will destroy every gain the communists have made in America in the last 100 years,and they know it.

@sneakypete

I think their chances of getting a Dem President are much better than that.  Certainly at least 50-50.

I don't think they'll impeach him again unless he is re-elected.  It didn't help them politically the first time around.

The actual words Schiff used when asked about that were surprisingly noncomittal:

Schiff said, “I would still like to hear from them. But we have to make the decision about next steps in consultation with our caucus and our leadership.”

My guess is that their polling shows that would be an extremely unpopular move with most independents, who would consider it a gigantic waste of time.  I think he's trying to appease the radicals by saying how much he'd "like" to do more hearings, but he's setting them up for disappointment by letting them know that it isn't a certainty.

That is exactly why the impeachment was such a sham.
I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.

The rats are repeating the same process over and over expecting different results, but knowing the results will be the same. I'm not sure what to call that.

That would be: insanity
"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn
