GOP member urges Graham to subpoena Schiff, Biden phone records
The Hill ^ | Dec 4, 2019 | Olivia Baron

Posted on 12/04/2019 2:01:09 PM PST by upchuck

A House Republican is pressing Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) to subpoena the call records of top Democrats and a whistleblower lawyer, signaling a new GOP line of defense amid the impeachment inquiry examining President Trump’s ties to Ukraine.

Rep. Jim Banks (R-Ind.), one of Trump’s House allies, asked Graham in a letter Wednesday to subpoena AT&T for the call records of House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden, as well as the attorney for Ukraine whistleblower, Mark Zaid.

“Chairman, I urge you to utilize your subpoena power as Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee and obtain call records for the following individuals: Rep. Adam Schiff, The whistleblower’s lawyer Mark Zaid, Former Vice President Joe Biden, and Hunter Biden,” Banks wrote to Graham.

“This quixotic impeachment inquiry must be shelved, Mr. Chairman. And Rep. Adam Schiff should be held to the same standard to which he holds others. It is time to see his phone records,” he continued.

Banks framed his request as an act of transparency, arguing that the public should know with whom Schiff worked to coordinate Democrats’ impeachment inquiry.

Ah, ah,ah....play nice now. It would be a terrible mistake to take the same road that is narrowing on them so they can open a thread for the conservatives displaying their idiocy. Just stay judicial, not revenge.

That's very true. I'm keeping a list of linda's unfulfilled promises. I'll post the list here eventually.

sounds like some good ideas, but would have the most impact at a Senate trial ...

It sounds great. But someone like Schiff probably made a lot of his calls on burner phones.

(recently arrested for soliciting a 9 year old girl for sex)... Hensel frequently took trips to Thailand
known for providing child sex to pedos.......did Schiff go too?

Good point.......Taxpayers demand to see all correspondence, emails, snail mails, hard drives,
wire-transfers, text files, offshore banking activity, and the like.

And based on the knowledge that elected members NEVER use their own money for anything, THE TAX DOLLARS KEEP ROLLING IN.
Demand to see govt reports of all tax dollars outlays to Schiff, Biden, and everyone employed in their offices.

DEMAND CONGRESS SEND YOU ALL AVAILABLE GOVT INFORMATION
specifically govt vouchers submitted by Schiff, Biden, et al:
<><> credit cards,
<><> gift cards,
<><> cell phone/landline bills,
<><> electronic/wire transfers,
<><> detailed expense accounts,
<><> transportation expenses
<><> office expenses
<><> office equipment expenses
<><> office supplies,
<><> unusual stamp purchases (a classic govt corruption MO)
<><> housing allotments,
<><> clothing allotments,
<><> entertainment including
<><> household help,
<><> reimbursements for varied business interests.

“Quixotic impeachment inquiry..”

A respectful reference to “the Knight Errant,” and an accurate comparison to the whole shitt show.

Good on yer!

Lindsey has his post-Trump-removal position locked in, he isn’t going to do anything to jeopardize that!

He’ll add that Schiff and Biden are his “good friends”, and he doesn’t want to upset their friendship.

Maybe if you and others here stopped calling him Linda he’d improve. You’re going at this the wrong way. Graham has been one of Trump’s firmest allies in this, don’t dissuade him.

McCain never came around, no matter how many times people foolishly re-elected him.

Skunks do not change their stripes.

Grahamnesty is still fully committed to amnesty and a permanent Democrat majority. For his friends, who are all across the aisle.

“For one thing, many of my phone records would be protected by attorney-client privilege”Zaid said in a statement to The Hill.

The call records, obtained by Democrats who issued a subpoena to AT&T, “Rudy Giuliani, Trump’s personal lawyer”

Does anyone see the double standard here?

LOL. That’s a breathtaking statement given Graham hasn’t done a single thing of substance to support POTUS against the ongoing coup. In fact he enabled the coup by among other things publicly threatened POTUS not to fire Sessions. Beltway lifers don’t change their spots. Ever. Sorry.
