House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler explained Sunday on CNN's "State of the Union" why he rejected requests from Republican members of his committee for a day of hearings with their own witnesses.
"The list of witnesses [that] they asked me to call, I said no to because they are irrelevant," Nadler said. "They can appeal to the full committee if they wish and we’ll have a vote on that. But like any trial judge, you keep the witnesses to the relevancy... Adam Schiff, they wanted, is not a relevant witness. He didn't witness anything."
House Judiciary Republicans asked for eight witnesses in total:
- The anonymous whistleblower and anyone the whistleblower relied on to prepare the complaint alleging Trump solicited election interference from Ukraine.
- House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff
- Alexandra Chalupa, a former Democratic National Committee contractor
- Fusion GPS contractor Nellie Ohr
- Former Vice President Joe Biden's son Hunter Biden
- Former Burisma board member and Hunter Biden's partner Devon Archer
- An intelligence community employee who Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman did not identify during his testimony before the House Intelligence Committee.

That’s right. This is Bolshevik due process. Nadler, Schiff, and many others are Bolsheviks who wanted free rein in Ukraine so Bolshevik Soros could make a lot of money to fund his political efforts world wide.\. They blame the president for their own failure.
“Adam Schiff, they wanted, is not a relevant witness. He didn’t witness anything.”
That pretty much describes 100% of the Democrats’ witnesses
