    Actually, it was Nadler who I saw interviewed. Rep. Schiff hasn't lied so far. I don't watch Fox, so I don't know what falsehoods you've heard.

    No, Rep. Schiff will not be giving them subpoena power. They have every right to submit subpoenas for his approval. Should they make a request and it's denied, then they can go to the press and whine; not before. Otherwise, the GOP just looks like a bunch of crybabies.

    Is parody a word that you were unfamiliar with?

    That was the first time I’ve seen someone use it to describe a lie.

    After he spoke, Schiff said, "This is a parody." Couldn't get any clearer than that. You apparently do not know the difference between a lie and a parody.

    He said this directly after he spoke or after he was called out on it? Do you have a link to this claim? Even assuming that maybe true, was that an appropriate time or place for parody?

    Before he spoke, he said the same thing too...

    SNIP
    "Shorn of its rambling character and in not so many words, this is the essence of what the president communicates."

    Stuff

    "This is in sum and character what the president was trying to communicate with the president of Ukraine."
    ENDSNIP

    Probably wasn't the best way to go, and there was 1 line in his statement I found questionable ("I want you to make up dirt on my political opponent") but by the scale of what's going on in this country today, this is a true non-starter... except for people who have little else to base an attack on...

    This has ALREADY been discussed in about 10 other threads.

    The link is from 2 DAYS Ago.

    Anyway, as far as the GOP Whining About "Documents"...

    ...I have a suggestion...Speaking of "Transparency"..

    WHY Doesn't Trump just Turn EVERYTHING Over, Allow EVERYONE to testify, Comply with All Subpoenas, and QUIT HIDING Everything?

    ^Problem solved.

    PS -- That Repetitive "3rd World Dictatorship" Line is getting Stale and Played-out. :bored:

    LMAO... did you know that none of those links were about Schiff's opening statement during the hearing, which was the current discussion??

    I am sure you do not...

    Pretty embarrassing....

    Also, Kessler is wrong... Schiff's statement about the contact with his committee is demonstrably not a lie...

    All of your articles quote the same source. So the whistleblower contacted Schiff to learn the proper forms to complete his complaint. Schiff didn't know the content nor the identity.

    You only care because no matter how innocuous you'll find something in there to persecute Trump for.

    Because there typically is something there to persecute him for...
    I can’t help he is likely the most corrupt and incompetent incompetent administration in the history of America.
    May he be the last.

    This is a partial transcript (note the areas with ...) The transcript shows quid pro quo, a crime.

    They are no worse then the white house refusing to release documents needed by the committee. A little dose of their own medicine I'd say.
