We have been informed by the whistleblower’s counsel that their client would like to speak to our committee and has requested guidance from the Acting DNI as to how to do so. We‘re in touch with counsel and look forward to the whistleblower’s testimony as soon as this week. — PolitiTweet.org

@GOPLeader Actually Kevin, Mueller's report confirmed that in 2016, the Trump campaign had multiple contacts with Russians, welcomed their help, & then lied to cover it up. See for yourself: https://t.co/eIiZkj6AcO I don’t know what's in the whistleblower report. But I intend to find out. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Thanks to @OversightDems and others, we've learned a lot about how Trump enriches himself at taxpayer expense. But we deserve to know the full picture of Trump’s corrupt self-dealing. I just introduced legislation to disclose ALL federal spending at Trump's properties: — PolitiTweet.org

Greta Thunberg, at 16 years old, has more courage and moral clarity on climate change than an entire room full of world leaders. The science is clear. Her anger is justified. If we do not act now to protect our planet, the consequences will be dire. — PolitiTweet.org

An explicit quid pro quo isn’t required to betray your country. It’s enough to abuse power for personal gain. Giuliani doing it is bad enough. Trump is a different matter. It’s one thing when it’s done by the court jester, and another when done by the man who would be King. https://t.co/DC4LfA0sGw — PolitiTweet.org

If there's nothing wrong with Trump's call with the Ukrainian President, as he claims, why won’t he release the transcript? If there's nothing to implicate Trump in the whistleblower complaint, why won’t they release it to Congress? Clearly, they’re afraid. We must see both. https://t.co/vUJyknPaWK — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Any effort by Trump to pressure a foreign government to dig up dirt on his political opponent, while holding up vital military aid to that country, is both corrupt and a grave threat to American interests. No explicit quid pro quo is necessary to betray your country. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Whistleblower protections are sacrosanct in our democracy, Mr. President. Your attack against a whistleblower increases the chance that corruption goes unreported, and heightens risk of an illegal reprisal. We will do everything we can to protect this, and every, whistleblower. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

The Inspector General found a whistleblower complaint alleging serious misconduct to be not only credible, but urgent. Yet the Acting DNI has withheld that complaint from Congress on the basis of potential privilege. He’s wrong. There's no privilege to be corrupt. https://t.co/80US0rdSJv — PolitiTweet.org

Trump said Mexico would pay for the wall. We knew that wasn’t true. Now, military families are paying the price. Crumbling schools, dangerous work conditions, exposure to asbestos— These are just some of the costs of Trump’s broken promises, and for what? A wall to nowhere. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

While Trump launches an all-out assault on the environment, rolling back protections for endangered species, our water, and our air — California remains steadfast. We will not allow our natural resources to be tarnished for generations to come. Not on our watch. — PolitiTweet.org

Under the White House legal theory, witnesses are immune from subpoena if they have: - Worked for the President (or not) - When he was President (or not) - About conversations the President was in (or not) Wrong. Corruption isn't a privilege. And compliance isn't voluntary. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

DOJ argues that Congress can’t see if the evidence warrants impeachment until it’s voted to impeach him — and not even then. The legal term for that reasoning is called “ass-backwards.” It would make Trump unindictable, unimpeachable, and essentially untouchable. He isn’t. https://t.co/MHLjtoe2GL — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

No Director of National Intelligence has ever refused to turn over a whistleblower complaint the IG determined to be urgent and credible. There is no privilege to engage in misconduct; not under this president, or any other. That’s why I issued a subpoena and will enforce it. https://t.co/pWg4MsOlwD — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

From initiating investigations urged by Trump, To threatening auto companies who dare embrace cleaner air than Trump, To twisting the law to serve and protect Trump, We see the slow unraveling of a once proud Department of Justice – And the interests of justice along with it. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Homelessness in America is a crisis, and there’s no simple solution. But this much is simple: Every person deserves a safe and dignified space to call home. If Trump's sudden interest is genuine, there's plenty he can do to make a difference. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

As @LAMayor wrote, "homeless Americans share one thing in common — trauma." Rather than criminalizing homelessness, the President could increase funding for mental health and substance abuse treatment programs. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

I also recently introduced a bill — H.R. 4239, the Affordable Housing Incentive Act — which creates tax incentives for property owners who sell to public housing agencies, thereby increasing the stock of affordable housing options. Mr. President, I'd love to have your support. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

At the federal level, the President could announce his support for @RepMaxineWaters' bill — H.R. 1856, the Ending Homelessness Act of 2019 — which would provide $13.7 billion in emergency relief funding to address homelessness. But so far, he's been silent on this bill. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Rather than launching partisan attacks on California cities, Trump could learn from leaders and community groups on the front lines of addressing homelessness. In fact, Los Angeles recently approved the two largest anti-homelessness ballot measures in American history. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

One obvious place to start: stop making the problem worse by asking for billions in cuts to @HUDgov's affordable housing programs, and to safety net programs that can make the difference for families living on the edge. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

It seems the President has developed a sudden concern for the homelessness crisis. I'm glad he wants to help. Instead of floating nonsensical and possibly illegal concepts about rounding up people experiencing homelessness and warehousing them, here are some other suggestions: — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

On North Korea, Iran and Afghanistan, Trump’s foreign policy has been characterized by superficial posturing and whiplash-inducing course changes. Firing Bolton is only the latest dysfunction. A new National Security Advisor will not solve the problem – that comes from the top. https://t.co/xeqyhpeowt — PolitiTweet.org

All Americans deserve quality, affordable health insurance. We can’t afford to move backwards, but we are — the share of insured Americans has declined for the first time in a decade. And the Trump Admin is still in court trying to rip away care from millions more. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

18 years have passed since 9/11, but our memories of that terrible day will never fade, and we will never forget the thousands who lost their lives. Today, we remember the courage of the first responders and the resilient spirit of our nation as we stood united against evil. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

.@GOPLeader asks, what difference does it make if the federal government is forced to patronize Trump’s hotel versus a hotel that doesn’t enrich him? Showing once again that you’re more likely to get bed bugs following Kevin McCarthy’s advice than sound ethics. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

From the beginning, I felt John Bolton lacked the judgment and temperament to be National Security Advisor. Nothing he did in the job persuaded me otherwise. The only question about his replacement is the same after all Trump resignations: Will we go from bad to worse? — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

When Rudy Giuliani was asked about using his role as Trump’s personal lawyer to interfere in foreign affairs to help Trump politically, his answer was, “So what?” If anyone can sum up the arrogance, immorality and lawlessness of the Trump presidency, it’s Rudy Giuliani. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

While his personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani pressures Ukraine to interfere in the 2020 campaign, Trump withholds vital aid Ukraine needs to defend against Russia. Yet again, Trump puts his interest above the national interest. We are launching an investigation into this scheme: — PolitiTweet.org
