schiff. he did the same thing. michael cohen. he did not tell us his staff met with him hours to prior to mr. cohen testifying. last summer, he met with mr. simpson in colorado. this is a pattern. we were hoping to hear from the ambassador today. we are to stand exactly why the administration and the state department have chosen to say if it's going to be this kind of process, selectively leak text messages, 67 pages we had. they take a handful and release it to you and not give it full context or transcript, we understand why they made this decision at this moment. reporter: ambassador sondland says he is disappointed he was not allowed to attend this deposition today. >> we wish he would've been able to testify but we understand why the administration made the decision they did. when you have a chairman release certain parts of what was said in a closed-door interview and not release the entire transcript and give a context, you can see why they didn't want sondlandt ambassador to the same kind of treatment. reporter: is that m

schiffadam schiff adam -- who is adam schiff?hiff is the guy who spent two years on tv saying that he had proof of russian collusion and he ended up having nothing. he lied. he was caught on the phone to haveto a russian dirt on donald trump, and then they said they never followed up on it, and we know his office followed up on the call. adam schiff is the guy who said they never talked to the whistleblower and it comes out, you knew about the whistleblower before he filed the charge. when you see all of this, you understand corruption is at the core of all of this. it is the hate of trump, and the deep states. upt: president trump stepped his criticism of adam schiff yesterday in a joint meeting in the oval office with the finish president. here is some of what president trump had to say. [video clip] pres. trump: i saw schiff trying to go -- week not call him shifty schiff for nothing. he is a shifty, this honest guy. he was critical of one of the great secretary of state. rajoy did number one at his class at west point. gradua

is get rid of adam schiff.the truth always has a nemesis and in this case, that man you see on the screen, adam schiff. in my book i go through page after page of lie after lie peddled by adam schiff. he lied about carter page, he lied about bruce ohr. he lied about the dossier. he lied about evidence he claimed to have that he did not have, and now he is lying about the whistle-blower claiming they had no contact with him, they did, claiming that if it weren't for the ig, they wouldn't know about him. they directed the whistle-blower to the ig. they claimed they had no advance notice. they certainly did. adam schiff is a professor of deception and false claims and lies. >> sean: biggest liar in congress. he is the biggest liar. he spreads conspiracy theories and lies. and he's best friends with the media mob. closing thoughts when we get back. flavors. there's the amped-up, over-tuned, feeding-frenzy-of sheet-metal-kind. and then there's performance that just leaves you feeling better as a result. that's the k

adam schiff. he should be forced to resign. he made up a conversation and reported it and said it to congress and the american people. it was horrible what he said. and that was supposed to be coming from me. but it was fabricated. this guy was negative on mike pompeo. he can't -- there is an expression, he couldn't carry his blank strap. i can't say it, they will say the was terrible to say. but he couldn't carry his blank strap. do you understand that. lou: more evidence the radical dimms are engaged in the biggest political scandal in our history or an extension of it. a report from the "new york times" finds that schiff and his staff knew about the whistleblower report days before it was even construct or filed. catherine herridge has the latest from washington. catherine: adam schiff's spokesman confirmed the whistleblower contacted the committee for guidance on how to report possible wrongdoing within the jurisdiction of the intelligence community. there was a question on timing adding quote at no point did the committee

what role did adam schiff have to the whistleblower? what role did his staff have to the whistleblower? for one man to turn this country upside down to have this vote today, our founding fathers warned about this in the federalist papers that a future congress at some point in time would base an impeachment not on guilt or innocence but rather on partisan politics, partisan politics. sadly today in this chamber their worst fears have been realized. with that, i'd like to turn it over to the house foreign affairs committee. >> in a way, you could say congratulations to nancy pelosi. she wanted a bipartisan vote on her impeachment inquiry resolution. she got it. it was a bipartisan vote against her impeachment inquiry resolution. there are a number of other democrats who chose to vote the wrong way who should have voted no and they won't be here to serve with us anymore come january of 2021. nancy pelosi as the leader of her conference has chosen to sacrifice a few of her own members. those members are going to lose for all of the right r

what does adam schiff have to hide?nce again, he's taken america through a nightmare because of his lies. >> sean: what we know is -- because we know there was contact, that's a fact, with schiff's office, that would mean he's compromised. that would mean he lied yet again like he's lied for the last three years. how could anybody allow this man to run any investigation? he's a fact witness. >> he is a fact witness, and in our judicial system a fact witness cannot be a prosecutor, and what we'll vote on tomorrow will not only make adam schiff a fact witness, a prosecutor, a judge and a jury. he has stopped people -- witnesses from answering questions, so he objects, but then when he objects to them to answer the question he's the judge who rules whether they should answer the question or not. he should send these witnesses a legal bill because he's their attorney and he's he's the only one picking the witnesses. if this was in a court of law there would be a mistrial right now based on what these democrats have done --

remember, schiff's team? they prepped michael cohen for ten hours just before his committee on capitol hill. wow. it appears that the cowardly shifty schiff played a vital role in coordinating a whistle-blower complaint. whether it involves russia, ukraine,om maybe it'll be the bahamas impeachment inquiry next. it seems that cowardly schiff has been plotting the c president's destruction, undermine your vote, lying the only problem with his strategy was it was always built on a pack of lies. this is the guy who fabricated a transcript. the guy, you didn't know, he was praying to and he thought he wa talking to a russian about donald trump that he could use during an election. by the way, it was read out loud in the official committee hearing. you don't remember, -- "the naked pictures." does vladimir know? my gosh. take a look. >> there is already in my view ample evidence, if you are willing to see it. if you want to blind yourself, you can look the other way. >> i can certainly say with confidence that ther

what about a relationship with adam schiff? when and where did he meet with schiff's office?id schiff office hire a lawyer and was at a specific lawyer? did they recommend the ig? did that recommendation come from the compromising schiff office. we know the five light about the whistle-blower. we know he like three years about russia. here is what he said when he lied about knowing the whistle-blower. >> we have not spoken directly with the whistle-blower. we would like to, but i'm sure concerned he has not been advised as the law requires by the inspector general or the director of national intelligence just as to how to communicate with congress. >> tucker: that was another lie by the compromised corrupt congenital layer, adam schiff. tonight we need answers, republicans, it is time for you to stand up for due process for the constitution of the united states, for the rule of law to equal application of our laws and yeah, application as well that will work. now, you have to do your jobs. we need as a country to get the bottom of the impeachment. it is a really, really impor

adam schiff is the chair of the house intelligence committee . he spoke about the trip administration blocking u.s. ambassador gordon -- from testifying at an impeachment inquiry today. that, republicans give their response as well. >> good morning. we were informed an hour and a half ago by the attorney for the investors the state department would refuse to allow him to testify today. this was after conversations well into yesterday afternoon and evening with the state department legal advisor where there was no indication the ambassador would be a no-show. not only is congress being deprived of his testimony, the people are being deprived of his testimony. hasre aware the ambassador text messages or emails on a personal device which was provided to the state department, although we requested this in the abbasid are, the state department is withholding those messages. messages are deeply relevant to this investigation and the impeachment inquiry. i want to explain for the public the significance of this witness and significance of the decision e

schiff, you want to be ken starr, be ken starr. be the first witness and take every question that is asked of you, starting with your own involvement with the whistleblower. folks, this ain't over. get ready. the cloud that is dropping will be dropping on their heads because process matters and substance will win out in the end and this president hasn't anything to worry about on substance. i yield back. [applause] >> congress will go back to their districts for a week. tomorrow will be november 1, one year before voters cast a vote not just for congress but for president. it is unfortunate in this congress when they go back, they'll run on the re-election having more subpoenas than laws and not trusting the american people to have the choice. the vote today was bipartisan not to move forward. we have a speaker of the house who said that impeachment would drive the country apart, would have to be bipartisan. there was one clear voice on where this congress believes this should go. there is nothing the president did to be impeached.

schiff has been running. you think about what the democrats have been trying to do, impeach the president of the united states 13 months prior to an election, based on an anonymous whistleblower who has a bias against the president. the guy running the process, chairman shift did not even tell us he met with the whistleblower prior to the whistleblower filing the complaint. the way he treated the , thatador last week treatment is the reason why the administration and the state department said we will not subject the ambassador to the same treatment. towere actually looking hearing from him. we thought he would reinforce exactly what was told last week. unfortunately, when you have a speaker of the house that says you need to strike when the irons hot. when you have a chairman of the committee who is so biased against this president that he would not even tell us he met with the whistleblower prior to the whistleblower filing the complaint. this is the pattern with mr. schiff. he said the same thing. he met wi

resolution condemning and censuring adam schiff. . . whereas president trump subsequently released the whistleblower complaint of august 12, 2019. whereas in a september 26, 2019, hearing on the whistleblower complaint, house intelligence committee chairman adam schiff purported to relay the content of the phone call to the american people. whereas instead of quoting directly from the available transcript, chairman schiff mf manufactured a false retelling of the scofferings between president trump and president zelensky. whereas this egregiousry false and fabricated retelling had no relationship to the call itself. whereas these actions of chairman schiff misled the american people, bringing disrepute upon the house of representatives and make a mockery of the impeachment process, one of this chamber's most solemn constitutional duties. whereas for more than two years, chairman schiff has spread false accusations that the trump campaign colluded with russia. whereas on march 20, 2017, then-ranking member schiff read out false allegation

>> i can't call adam schiff.e have constitutional separations hear about somebody who is investigating a crime to call adam schiff potentially as a witness -- no member of congress is above the law but congressman can't call senators and senators can call the presidents because of separation of power. in terms of joe biden and hunter biden, i think somebody definitely needs to look into this and it was about foreign aid to the foreign relations committee would have oversight so let me get back to what's going on in the house. and history of the country, we never had the intelligence committee participate in an impeachment inquiry under the resolution that they are going to pass tomorrow. the president's council cannot participate in the intel committee inquiry so the president has denied right to counsel and republicans can't call witnesses without schiff agreeing so this whole thing is a sham. >> sean: do you think -- i believe what i'm holding in my hands, this is a phony resolution. this is fake news. if this

now we have adam schiff doing the same thing, denying.me it's sickening to see what he, the president has to put up with and what the nation has to contend with with these radical dimms. i can't imagine them winning. can you? >> i can't imagine them winning. our polling shows president trump on strong footing and the impeachment inquiry backfiring. this was the worst decision politically speaking democrats could make. the country doesn't want this. they see this as divisive. so we are going to win this. we are going to win it with the tail winds behind us imposed by these radical dimms. adam schiff is a fraud. he's on tape saying he wants to accept russian dirt. then he makes up transcripts about the president during congressional testimony. he's a fraud and so is his entire party. >> it's that parody, it's just stunning. frustrating aspiring jean writer trying out his material in what should have been a very serious moment in that committee. but nothing about this is serious. it's a contrivance. it's a ruse, it's a sham. the president, h

you won't know until you ask schiff. schiff made himself a witness. if he did in fact interview the whistleblower before the complaint was filed then he becomes the witness and i want to know what was said originally the bottom line here is it does remind me a lot of kavanaugh. the media, she had another accusation that wound up being fixed, two were out and out lies people are being investigated for perjury and one lady said she went to parties on nine or 10 occasions for being drugged and raped by with kavanaugh there i would think one party would probably be enough for most people so this seems like a political setup and it reminds me of kavanaugh. maria: bottom line, you have subpoena power, chairman of judiciary. are you going to subpoena this whistleblower? >> well here is what's going to happen. if the whistleblower's allegations are turned into an impeachment article, it's imperative that the whistleblower be interviewed in public under oath and cross- examined. nobody in america goes to jail or has anything done to them without confronting th

schiff made up. so before we left i knew this would be a problem and with the leadership team behind me, we introduced, i introduced a otion tosen sure mr. schiff. now, in the intervening time, he's taken this to a soviet-style inquiry. that is to say everything's behind closed doors. there's absolutely no transparency. he's not letting this open up for anybody to see. my colleagues go down and ask for the copy-- to read the copy of the volker testimony. they are denied that. following this press conference, a group of my colleagues are going to go down and we're going to ask for our opportunity to read the volker transcript. we'd like to be sitting there. i sit on the judiciary committee. we're excluded from participating. we are not allowed into the room. you are not allowed into the room. that means the american public is not allowed into the oom. so today, we're going to be pressing forward with my motion to censure mr. schiff, joined by the vast majority of republicans in this conference pushing

adam schiff was a joke on many different fronts.e went to the lectern, which we just watched on fox news, that have been presupposed, nobody believe that. i can't believe he even did that with straight face. what was unprecedented and that we haven't seen before, the proceedings are going ahead and the intel committee. even though we are talking about this now and they've passed this supposed openness and transparency, they are having close doors hearings right now, today. >> melissa: this goes in coronation with the whistleblower. that's what they are talking about. we have whistleblower, fixed on my first and we do come around for going to be ig or putting it up the chain -- and katie, i will ask you this -- they go toe most vocal enemy of the subject of the complaint to ask for advice about how to go forward. or at least he says coming to someone within his group, but not directly to him. those of the details it would be asking if they brought him forward. >> katie: and there are questions about why adam schiff held the complaint

then puts the complaint to work with adam schiff. schiff's office says they did not

schiff.ember when adam schiff was so afraid of this administration that it was going to stop the whistle-blower from testifying? the only person who knows who the whistle-blower is in congress is adam schiff and he won't bring him forward. do you know what's interesting? in thism whole process is a fact witness. there is no reason in any of our judicial system that would allow him to be the prosecutor. again, he's not upholding the rule of law. why is he so afraid? you are right. not just republicans should be standing up, but anybody who believes in the bill of rights bill of rights. anybody who believes in the idea of america should tell us the truth of what's going on. if you want to impeach a duly elected president of united states, you better be sure you have due process and you better be sure the american public is able to see it off. >> sean:su thank you for being with us. joining us now, two house g.o.p. members who arewi directly involved in the storming of the democratic closed-door

then puts the complaint to work with adam schiff. schiff's office says they did not receive the actual complaint, just the quote outline, they advised that the whistle-blower to get a lawyer and should go to the inspector general. but watch what adam schiff says about this when asked directly back on the day this whole story started to unfold on september 17th. >> martha: >> we have not spokey with the whistle-blower. we would like to. >> martha: the president had a lot to say about that in a news conference today and went a step further. >> i think it's a scandal that he knew -- i'd go a step further, i'd think he probably helped write it. he knew long before and he helped write it too. it's a scam. it's a scam. >> martha: in a heated news conference, he said none of this at this point surprises him. >> this is a hoax. this is the greatest hoax, a continuation of what's been playing out the last -- since my election, i would say. we will find out soon, but probably even before my election. >> martha: "before my election." that's par

schiff. schiff's spokesman says the whistle-blower's identity was never made known, that he was told to file his complaint through the proper channels, and schiff never saw the complaint in advance. here, however, is what trump said when asked about this reporting on schiff. >> i think it's a scandal that he knew before. i'd go a step further. i think he probably helped write it, okay? that's what the word is. it's a scam. it's a scam. >> today house democrats said they would subpoena white house officials by friday of this week if their demands for documents on ukraine are not met. and there was this warning to the administration from the aforementioned adam schiff. >> we're not fooling around here. they just need to know that even as they try to undermine our ability to find the facts around the president's effort to coerce a foreign leader to create dirt that he can use against a political opponent, that they will be strengthening the case on obstruction if they behave that way. >> earlier

kennedy: away from adam schiff. >> possible but adam schiff still retains authority to keep it closed, they have a process procedural vote to say, we're open to opening these up, but at the discretion of the chairman, other thing -- >> why does he get to be in charge, does not make sense unless nancy pelosi know its will fail, she despised adam schiff and she wants to hang him out to dry. >> no, i think he probably gave this assignment to him, he may be most willing to continually lie, like he has done for last 3 years, and who knows how much before, that in context of time donald trump has been president, the way you know adam schiff is lying is his mouth moving, you know he is telling some fabricated story to try to make a case against trump, he has been doe going since election night. kennedy: so, republicans have lost faith in the process. what are the adults in the room going to do to bring it to a blighalittle bit more objective providing, that seems to be what we're missing, even with matt gaetz bringing up charges against schiff that will never pass and he knows it. >> it is b

if adam schiff, this would be a good question for the speaker, did the speaker know adam schiff's staff met with the whistleblower? the speaker made a decision to go into impeachment without even knowing what was on the phone call. the adam schiff share that with anybody in the democratic side? when and where did they know this? what did they know? what did they talk about? these are all questions that people should actually have an answer to. the president didn't do anything wrong. to preface this from the same point that adam schiff said before, he had proof, beyond circumstantial evidence, all the f.b.i., all the millions of dollars, you will the countries we had to go to we found out that was a lie. wouldn't you want to know as an american why did we put ourselves through that? that's exactly what the attorney general is doing. reporter: two questions. first, you just mentioned that the mueller investigation, russia investigation began in ukraine. mr. mccarthy: elements. reporter: are you suggesting that paul manafort, who was tried and convicted in an american court was framed? mr.
