Adam Schiff has announced he's no longer waiting for courts to compel witnesses to testify




Adam Schiff has announced he's no longer waiting for courts to compel witnesses to testify in some of the impeachment topics. Instead, the fact of their refusal will be used as evidence that they're co-conspirators in Trump's crime spree.

Brilliant.


A bit of genius right there. LOCK THEM UP!!! hehehe

I hope he doesn't feel the same about the complete and unredacted Muller report and the phone call full transcript. Don't know if he has seen same but should fight in court to get them. Oh yea them taxes too.
