Democracy Dies In Darkness: Adam Schiff Banned Matt Gaetz (R-FL) From Attending Key Ukrainegate Deposition

The Federalist: Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., just banned a key Republican lawmaker from the deposition of a former anti-Trump national security official believed to be at the center of ongoing Ukraine proceedings, sources tell The Federalist. Schiff tossed Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., out of the deposition.

Although the U.S. House of Representatives has not approved a resolution authorizing a formal impeachment investigation, House Democrats have nonetheless insisted that they have full authority to subpoena all documents and testimony they desire, even if specific committees lack the jurisdiction to demand particular information. Schiff, whom Pelosi tapped to lead her party’s anti-Trump impeachment efforts, chairs the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI), which only has jurisdiction over the federal government’s intelligence agencies and related components.

According to the Congressional Research Service, formal impeachment proceedings are typically referred to the House Judiciary Committee. Gaetz sits on that committee; Schiff does not. The House has yet to approve a resolution granting broad impeachment investigative authority to any of its committees. read more

  1. Pelosi, et al have hi-jacked the federal government. President Trump needs to impress upon Nancy that he can declare a national emergency and impose martial law. (I would rather he do it than some crazed libtard that might succeed him after his next term.)

  3. Poor San Fran Nan, had to go to the bench to replace the dumbass Nadler, and sent in another dumbass as relief pitcher.

    Demonrats are just so banal and stupid. Look at their line-up, perv’s crazie’s, race hucksters, and commies…

    Trumpus Maximus has a homerun derby against every DC Dumbocrat that takes the mound, every homer drives them crazy, as they run around in the stands looking for a ball they will never find because it always leaves the park.

    As Q says: “These people are stupid”

  4. The House Republicans should be screaming from the rafters, demanding that this process be followed properly and all agencies should be denying requests for documents if the committee requesting them has no authority to be making such requests.

    > Waiting for my orders…but should we wait Captain??

    Euroweenies always wait. “Lie down, and wait for orders.”

    United States Americans attack, until ordered to stand down.

  6. @Cisco Kid – yes, the Democrat Party is banal and stupid.

    But someone once said that looking at all the National Socialists on trial at Nuremberg after WW2, they were described as the “banality of Evil”.
