Washington, D.C. Speaker Nancy Pelosi issued this statement on House Republicans attempt to censure Chairman Adam Schiff:Chairman Schiff is a great American patriot. Our country is extremely well-served by his serious, smart and strategic leadership to protect our elections, national security and democracy which sadly stands in stark contrast to Republicans in the Congress who cover up the truth, look the other way when the President invites foreign governments to interfere in our elections and vote against legislation to secure the ballot from foreign attacks.
What the Republicans fear most is the truth. The President betrayed the oath of office, our national security and the integrity of our elections, and the GOP has not even tried to deny the facts. Instead, Republicans stage confusion, undermine the Constitution and attack the person of whom the President is most afraid.
The American people want the truth. The House will proceed with our impeachment inquiry to find the facts and expose the truth, guided by our Constitution and the facts. This is about patriotism, not politics or partisanship.

(19,969 posts)doing is gathering all the depositions they need in private, not only to make sure witnesses don't co-ordinate their stories, but Democrats can sculpt a script out of all these depositions, to create a compelling and streamlined narrative. THEN, they can have a public inquiry and call all those who will do the most damage to Trump. And there's nothing Republicans can do about it.

(33,400 posts)The Republicans repeatedly engage in cover-up, distraction, projection and propaganda -- via Fox and hate radio -- in order to prevent citizens from getting the truth. Their policies are designed to enrich their donors while making voters less educated and more desperate for the basics of living.
