Schiff says committees will make impeachment inquiry transcripts public when it would not 'jeopardize investigative equities'
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) said in a letter Wednesday that interview transcripts from closed-door impeachment inquiry depositions will be made public when they do not "jeopardize investigative equities."
The Dear Colleague letter is designed to counter arguments from Republicans in both the White House and Congress that Democrats are conducting an invalid investigation, since their witness interviews are being held behind closed doors, outside the eyes of the public and lawmakers who don't sit on the three committees leading the investigations.
"At a time that it will not jeopardize investigative equities, we will make the interview transcripts public, subject to any necessary redactions for classified or sensitive information," Schiff wrote.
"We also anticipate that at an appropriate point in the investigation, we will be taking witness testimony in public, so that the full Congress and the American people can hear their testimony firsthand," he added.

"It is of paramount importance to ensure that witnesses cannot coordinate their testimony with one another to match their description of events, or potentially conceal the truth," he wrote. "I am particularly sensitive to that issue given that during the Intelligence Committee’s investigation into Russia’s election interference, one witness, Michael Cohen, lied to the Committee about highly relevant issues and ultimately pled guilty for those lies."

"It is necessary to point this out, because the President and his allies have made the false claim that GOP members and staff have been precluded from attending or asking questions — nothing could be further from the truth," the letter said.

This is friggin Animal Farm.
Impeach schiff
Schiff has nothing. He knows it. It’ll be blowing up in his face.
This communist a$$-clown is nothing but an insane, rabid dog.
What the f@#$% are investigative equities?
No single person or group of people can be this stupid. Who is the group giving marching orders. Scripts, and talking points to Schiff?
Ed Buck is absolutely that Adam Schiff is so upright on this matter.
After all positions and firmness matters in Hollywood.
The upcoming rally at the Standard Hotel will reinforce the Schiff/Buck position.

Vote straight Dem. If this is the way they want to operate, forget it!
He plead guilty to lying to congress about Trump Tower Moscow...a project never built.
Sheesh.

What the f@#$% are investigative equities?
That a good question. Can they be bought, sold or traded?
My theory is the Dems want Trump to call off the dogs on the 2016 investigation and they will trade calling off impeachment in the trade.
Trump: No Deals!
Schiffty’s got nuffin’. Mueller knows.
They will make their transcripts public when Hell freezes over.
“Equity” is the new PC nonsense buzzword. There IS no meaning. You are just wasting your time trying to find one.
When 1/2 the public is as dumb as they are and you have the media 100% on your side, you always have a pretty good chance.
On the other hand it’s funny....disturbing but funny.
Trump must just laugh at all those stupid ankle biters expending all their lives energy so ineffectively...entertaining us in the process.
Trump loves this.
The Trump show.
FU SH*tf,you answer to us you POS! I am so sick of these scum.
The statement itself is as far from the truth as possible. The public knows all of the GOP House members but the handful on the three committees have been denied entry. His voters, of course, will dismiss it and conclude he is doing good work.
