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, there were fierce realized. i turn it over to lee zeldin from the house foreign affairs committee. mr. zeldin: in away you could say congratulations to nancy pelosi and wanted a bipartisan vote on her impeachment inquiry resolution and got it. it was a bipartisan vote against her inquiry resolution. there are a number of other democrats who chose to vote the wrong way and should have voted no and won't be here to serve anymore with us come january 2021. nancy pelosi as the leader, has chosen to sacrifice a few of her own members. those members are going to lose for all of the right reasons. because as we have seen during thi

adam schiff was a joke on many different fronts. when he 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 co

>> we encourage adam schiff to run a fair process. which americans would go on trial without a counsel? >> nick. we will take a couple more. [indiscernible] that is nancy pelosi's call. reporter: [indiscernible] does that impact the credibility of the whistleblower? >> absolutely. >> i know there has been reporting. reporter: [indiscernible] >> i think that is a problem. there was a preliminary investigation done by the inspector general. general. if the whistleblower is not being forthcoming -- that's a big problem. reporter: [indiscernible] that's a form of perjury. --the american peo i think it's appropriate for the reckon people to know who the person is behind the charge that the democrats are pursuing removing the president of the united states 13 must before election. i believe the american people have a right to know. >> is important to point out you all know the american public knows more than the whistleblower does. this whole thing about what does the whistleblower know, they now know less than what you will know. we should

schiffadam schiff adam -- who is adam schiff? adam schiff 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

we spent more time with ambassador volcker than adam schiff did. you may have noticed he came out here to the press. he gave this benign thing and raced off to a fundraiser. this has to be a fair process. when you have a press release being drafted by our democratic colleagues cherry picking text messages when the full text of ambassador volcker's testimony last make -- last week would have been exonerated this president, let's release it. i'm all for bringing the ambassador in, but only after we released the full -- reporter: are you concerned about the president asking a foreign government to investigate joe biden, and the president saying china should investigate joe biden. do any of you have concerns about that? >> the president is doing his job. when you are talking about the hard-earned tax dollars of the american people going to wake foreign government, the president will make sure there is no corruption. he is doing his job, his duty as the president. i don't have a concern about. -- i don't have a concern about it. reporter: [indiscernible

adam schiff cannot run this investigation. one of them is the fact that this is being done in the intel committee, as opposed to the judiciary committee. any impeachment process, the jurisdiction is judiciary, right >> in the 240-plus years of our history, those rare times where we have had impeachment process its always gone through the how judiciary committee because the how judiciary committee is a committee of jurisdiction over the constitution and over impeachment. it's not the intelligence committee. maria: so why do mem go to the intelligence then that adam schiff runs? >> well i think two reasons. one, i think nancy pelosi has so little confidence apparently in jerry nadler to run this the way that she wants it. the other reason is by moving it to the intelligence committee, she can accomplish what they did this week. adam schiff can say gosh, this all has to be done behind closed doors. unlike any other impeachment in our country which is public, he's conducting this behind closed doors being making up the rules as it

we spent more time with volker then adam schiff did. he gave this benign thing and raced off to a fundraiser. here is what we understand, this has to be a fair process when you have a press release being drafted by our democrat colleagues taking text messages. text whatever exonerated this president, let's release it. bringing the invest -- ambassador in, but let's only do so after we released this. >> you're asking them to investigate joe biden, and also the president thing china should investigate. do any of you have concerns about that? >> the president is doing his job. when you talk about the hard earned tax dollars of the american people going to a foreign government, the president will make sure there is no corruption. he is doing his duty as a commander in chief, his duty as the president of the united states. i do not have a concern. >> [indiscernible] >> we would like to see the volk before weny released see the transcribed interviews. what we see in this impeachment is a kingery -- kangaroo court and chairman shift is a capta

tells us that he talks to his staff and adam schiff does not reported. in the form used posta fill out when you file a complaint there's a box that you check did you talk to people on capitol hill, they failed to check that. people see this for what it is and it was good to see every republican vote the right way on the floor. lou: this intelligence committee chair, adam schiff is back tabling with two russian disc jockeys is the way to describe them looking for dirt on the president of the united states, looking like the buffoon that he betrays in so many of his official moments. >> go back to how this started, we were told adam schiff, pelosi, there is this call where the president supposedly said i'm going to hold up ukrainian security assistance money unless there's an investigation in the bidens. then we get the transcript and find out that did not take place. everyone said when you read the transcript, no quid pro quo. then president trump and president zelensky meet and they say no pressure, no linkage, no quid pro quo and then we have the special

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

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

adam schiff accused of blocking questions during impeachment hearings. we are live in washington where republicans are saying enough is enough. paid to put away. a landmark decision from the ncaa allowing student athletes to cash in but should they be taxed? lawmakers vowel action. and do or die, the washington nationals coming through in the clutch to beat the houston astros. >> can't wait for tomorrow night. >> we are going to win tomorrow. >> they will win game 7. >> live from the world series in houston with the winner take all matchup tonight.

what does adam schiff have to hide? once 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 -

the answer is that i think adam schiff is the biggest leaker in washington. we all know that. he's a corrupt politician. like nobody has ever seen before. the conversation was perfect. they don't talk about the conversation. it started with the whistleblower. now they don't want the whistleblower. they had a second whistleblower and now they don't want it. the they say what whistleblower wrote, which bore no relationship, they said their case went out the window. i think republicans are being taken advantage of. they're being maligned. they are really looking to hurt the republican party and it is turning out to be the opposite. go into theer details of the case rather than process. we already have 50 republican senators, i never called one of them, perhaps the others will do it too. process is good. look at the case, it's very simp le, it's quick. i had another conversation before that which was the same thing. it was nothing. they tried to take that conversation and make it into a big scandal. the problem was we had it transcribed. in a nutshell he whistleb

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

now we have adam schiff doing the same thing, denying. to 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 presiden

is get rid of adam schiff. at 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 t

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

you thatagree with adam schiff is crooked. there has never been any allegations of misconduct about adam schiff. i think you have to give some kind of evidence for why you feel that way and whether you dislike him or not, or dislike is politics, that is not make an individual crooked. -- het think adam schiff is what hedy, that wanted to say at the hearing and members make a lot of comments. i don't think it was crooked for the whistleblower to talk to members of the committee. that individual is free to speak to whoever they want to speak with, whether republican or whoever. as for impeachment, this is something that many of us have not wanted to come to. i have not been one who has, elected, president was who wanted to impeach him. that is ridiculous. i don't have to agree with you to respect the office and the fact you were elected. many of us have come to the point where there are allegations that have been made, that have been substantiated by several people, that are credible, that are building on what we already know th

i do not agree with you that adam schiff is crooked. there has never been any allegation of misconduct by adam schiff and i think you have to give some kind of evidence for why you are feeling that way. whether you dislike him or not or dislike his politics does not make an individual crooked. i don't think adam schiff made a parody, that was what he felt he wanted to say at the hearing and members of congress make lots of statements during hearings. i don't think it was crooked for the whistleblower to come and talk to members of the committee. that individual is free to talk to whomever they want to speak with, a republican member, republican staffer, whatever. as for impeachment, this is something many of us have not wanted to come into. i have not been one, since the president was elected, saying we need to impeach him, that was ridiculous. there was an election, he won the election, he is the president of the united states. i don't have to agree with you to respect the office and the fact that you were elected. many of us have come

adam schiff's staff. the form you are supposed to fill out when you are filing a whistleblower complaints. there is a box to check, did you talk to people on capitol hill. every republican voted the right way tonight on the floor. lou: adam schiff is back channeling with two russian disk jockies i guess is the way to describe them. look for different against the president of the united states. too go back to how this started. there is this call where the president supposed by said i am going to hold up you crane security assistance money. then we gets the transcript and find out that didn't happen. even democrat chairmen, no quid pro quo. then we have the special envoy, ambassador kirk volcker testify, and he says the same thing. they keep doing their investigation down in the basement of the capitol where no one can get in and see, and no one can read the transcripts. they schedule depositions at the same time so you can't be in two places at the same time. the american people see through it. they unders

he put words in adam schiff's mouth that adam schiff didn't say. when someone like adam schiff does it, it's a crime. that's because he likes these villains. he likes to have an adversary that he can attack and go after, someone to focus on, focus his own energy on, focus his supporters on. adam schiff happens to be the target. >> even after a long day, our guests have agreed it stay on. when vladimir putin trolled our own correspondent, our president and all of us in the process.

the lives of adam schiff. remember when adam schiff was so afraid of this a 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. to know what's interesting? admissible 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 sure mark 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: thank you for being with us. joining us now, two house g.o.p. members who are directly involved in the storming of the democratic closed-d

but adam schiff does not care. he is pursuing this so much he will not let gates in the room, he will not let people see the transcript. a whistleblower with no first-hand knowledge by us to get the president, worked with vice president biden, wrote a memo after the call and set all kinds of things in the memo with brightly stuff on the call and waited 18 days to file a complaint. guess what happen etd timeframe, this so-called whistleblower ran off to see adam schiff and did not tell us when he filed the form and he did not check the box did you check with anyone on capitol hill. that's the crazy process going on. >> is also the inspector general. but the amazing part, not only did the president and the prime minister of ukraine said there was no pressure whatsoever, they did not even know that there was money that had not been released. so how could there be a quid pro quo if they don't know there's money that has been released. in adam schiff in the beginning wants to protect the whistleblower and we have to pro

he put words in adam schiff's mouth that adam schiff didn't say. when someone like adam schiff does it, it's a crime. that's because he likes these villains. he likes to have an adversary that he can attack and go after, someone to focus on, focus his own energy on, focus his supporters on. adam schiff happens to be the target. >> even after a long day, our guests have agreed it stay on. when vladimir putin trolled our own correspondent, our president and all of us in the process. "the 11th hour" is just getting under way on a wednesday night. >>> we mention this had before the break. it's not an overstatement to put it this way. we want to show you the moment today when the president of russia trolled our own reporter, our president and all of us by extension. here was the scene, a conference in moscow, moderated by our own veteran correspondent, keir simmons, who asked putin through a translator about interference in our elections. >> is russia, as robert mueller alleged, attempting to influence the 2020 elections in the united states? >> transla

what happened, the whistleblower told aid everything, the aide went and told adam schiff, adam schiff thought about it and said maybe i should put out tweets and prepare. with that said, then the whistleblower says and goes before group and said that they provided very rare contours of information. what does that mean, nobody knows and i don't think he does either. now just as reported earlier, adam schiff does not hav think y need the whistleblower, of course he does not think because of the whistleblower gets subpoenaed, they talk to the whistleblower and they tell them, this is who i talked to and this is what i told aid and then the egg comes and says adam schiff on solid ground and ease up to his knees in quicksand. >> he is accused of a bias arbiter of impeachment and should not be leading her. here is partisa president trumpm schiff. >> i heard adam schiff has formed pinocchio spread he should've got them to a half years ago. >> adam schiff dog questions. >> i am not going to, and all until after the hearing. except to say, i think the president once again inviting foreign inte

adam schiff. he's a lowlife. he should be forced to resign. he took that conversation, which is perfect, he said, "i can't read this." so he made up a conversation and he reported it and set it to congress and to the american people. and it was horrible, what he said. and that was supposed to be coming from me. but it was all fabricated. he should resign from office in disgrace. frankly, they should look at him for treason. >> what the president is referring to there is the opening statement adam schiff gave at that house intelligence committee hearing where joe maguire, the acting director of national intelligence, was present. the president also going off on adam schiff for his latest attacks on mike pompeo, suggesting the fact that mike pompeo was on the phone call with ukrainian president volodymyr zelensky. makes him affect menace in the case, and by trying to slow-walk this idea of having state department staffers come up to capitol hill for a deposition, he is obstructing an investigation and interfering with witnesses. listen to what t

and somehow adam schiff failed to disclose any of that. when asked by the media whether he had any head up or inside knowledge about this, this is what he said. watch. >> we have not spoken directly with the whistleblower. we would like to. but i am sure the whistleblower has concerns that he has not been individualsed as the law required by the inspector general or the director of intelligence just how he is to communicate with congress. trish: we have not spoken with the whistleblower? adam schiff's staff was given a head up days before it was released. adam schiff is now saying in a statement the whistleblower contacted the committee for guidance on how to report possible wrongdoing. why didn't you say that in the first place? the facts increasingly suggest a political takedown. that's shameful. the president firing on all cylinders in a joint press conference with the prime minister of finland. president trump: it's a big story. he knew long before and he helped write it too. it's a scam. nancy pelosi hand out subpoenas like they are c

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 all. did adam schiff share that with anybody on 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 .b.i., all the millions of dollars, all the countries we had 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. m

adam schiff made very clear today they are very serious. they are going to do serious interviews with both of these issues. they're going to push very hard for details on meetings with zelensky, conversations with giuliani, details about why the ambassador was ousted. so they are proceeding on this track aggressively as the president is fighting back increasingly wildly. >> andrew, i'll take one for the team here. at this hour last night our lead story was that all we knew was the state department inspector general had asked for an urgent meeting with congressional staff. then came the moment this afternoon. the meeting was over. a member of congress from maryland, who was within his rights to attend even though it was for staff, came out with a color photocopy of a fake white house envelope. we'll play what he said and then talk about it with you on the other side. >> it's essentially a packet of propaganda and disinformation spreading conspiracy theories. those conspiracy theories have been widely debunked and discredited. >> so, andrew,

adam schiff had been criticized before but seemed to be ramped up. nancy pelosi thought there was not room for impeachment when she saw the rough transcript of his call. that was inaccurate. nancy pelosi said today that the phone call itself rises to the level of impeachable offense. she called it and undermining his oath of office and our constitution. i think speaker offices likely to dispute the president. what we heard is what the president's defense going to be. he did nothing wrong and the motivation of his attackers are partisan corrupt and don't trust what the news media tells you about what's happening. >> and to nick in san francisco. a broad attack in san francisco and pelosi as well. it sounded a little bit like baltimore. >> you know i will tell you, i love san francisco, putting that aside what we just saw was absolutely horrifying. it was the defamation of gaslighting. the president of the united states on a phone call. we have seen the summary, used the awesome power of our foreign policy to withhold resource to an ally that would fur

much of what adam schiff said prior. adam schiff said he did not know who the whistleblower was and we found out he did area and now we have the phone call. they continue to make the system up and they have put america through a two-year nightmare just because they did not like the outcome of the election . >> republicans have mentioned the ability to call defense witnesses. who should republicans call to defend the president?>> i think from this one standpoint you have the transcript, what do you have to defend? there's nothing in that phone call that isimpeachable. if they want to have due process that we can offer witness, we would offer witness . i believe that to the committee. >> with respect to the call, the transcript is a summary and it's not verbatim. >> it's no different than any other transcript they do with any other phonecall . what is taking on the call, transcribed by the individuals and the technology is just like any other call. that isall the information we have .>> isn't it possible that we can learn

and maggie smith will play the role of adam schiff. we're kidding. >> laura: they do that with republicans. what's good for the goose is good for the gander. >> i don't think anyone is going to this movie. not to be outdone, film staging of the text messages between lisa page and peter strzok was released this week. it's called "fbi lovebirds." it stars superman's dean cain and buffy the vampire slayer's kristy swanson. >> i just went to a southern virginia walmart and i could smell the trump support. yeah. it's scary real down here. >> vomit. vomit. vomit. vomit. vomit. >> having a really tough time with the election this morning. >> i brought "all the presidents men", figured i needed to brush up on watergate. meanwhile, we have our task at hand. >> our task at hand. it reminds you -- by the way those are verbatim texts from >>these two. >> laura: you need the one where he's talking about obama. he mentions obama. >> it reminds me -- the fbi agents and their devotion to leaking did the press and then say their names appear in the pre
