Schiff HIC impromptu Press conference Offical thread - let's watch!!

[bettyellen]

House Intel committee member Schiff coming up.

And summarize for the cube rats among us.
Any minute now....

[LOL Lib]

1. Please update bettyellen!

I'm stuck at work with only DU to keep me updated.

[get the red out]

2. Likewise!

Need some DU reporting!

3. I know better than that

Liberals don't have jobs! They are all supported by the hardworking $10 an hour trumpers. Lol.
(Don't tell anyone...but I'm working as well, lol)

[LOL Lib]

5. LOL! If the Trumpers only knew!

Don't tell them about the $40k in student loans that I still owe. That would totally ruin their alt fact that all liberals get free college grants.

[bettyellen]

7. So sorry- he is highlighting the odd circuitous way the info from the WH staffers

And whether Nunes was trying to mask the sources.
Aside from that he is reassuring us that the hearings will go on, and not just private meetings. That transparency is important and Yates should be able to give most of her testimony in public.

[LOL Lib]

8. Thx!!!!

Go sally go sally!

[bettyellen]

11. A lot of the focus is on these two WH staffers since the WH said yesterday they had. I idea...

Sod they had no idea yesterday and now everyone knows who it was. Looks like he's saying the info itself were things they already knew or had.

Maybe trying to make it look new- if they wanted to make hay with it- blame Obama? This is my guessing.

4. Schiff is invited to see Nunes White House docs

Also stating he will not be distracted from Russia investigation

(edited to change demanding to invited)

[LOL Lib]

6. Go Adam Schiff!!!

[bettyellen]

9. Schiff saying these WH staffers were not whistleblowers as their methods were counter

The ways a person would be whistle blowing.
WH needs to answer if this is "laundering info through to the committee" as it is highly irregular.

[bettyellen]

12. Asked if Nunes was trying to work w WH to disrupt the investigation....

He's pulled back and focused again on how this is an important investigation and they will focus on getting it done and be very vocal when there are obstacles as there were this week.

13. Very impressive Mr Schiff.

Contrast that presser to Nunes' walking presser the other day.
He's bigly smarter than Nunes.

[bettyellen]

14. He's hammering it home that it's bigger than the WH but he will be vocal about obstruction-as soon a

Sees it happen again. He basically all but said his was deliberate obstruction and won't continue without the public knowing it's a cover up.

[bettyellen]

15. I'm a little behind the letter from the WH and how it fits in?

[bettyellen]

16. I see Rand Paul in trying to make this about WH whistle blowers instead of Flynn....

Not happening.

[LOL Lib]

17. Thanks bettyellen!

I'm glad to hear that Schiff is not letting them sweep this under the rug.

[bettyellen]

18. You're welcome! I got pulled away unexpectedly, and missed the first few minutes.
