Schiff: Kupperman's Failure To Appear Could Warrant Contempt Proceeding | Hallie Jackson | MSNBC
Dr. Kupperman needs to be fined and jailed for not appearing.
I reas the a young black man got jailed because he missed Jury duty… i love the double standards in US politics…
wow so asking the court to decide between equal branches of govt is a crime really keithy
Lock him up!
Why? Congress can not issue subpoenas as there was not a vote to impeach.Kupperman recieved a letter.
They should fine them when they don’t show up. See how fast they move when money is involved.
start a scholarship fund with all the fines of those who refuse to testify
If you didn’t show up for a lawful court order, do you think the judge would just fine you?
@J Bell LOL and what alternate reality is that from?
@J Bell Comey etc. are republicans.
@J Bell Хороший тролль, товарищ, теперь вы можете вернуться в Россию и сосать путинский пенис.
Donny “Bedbugs” and his cultists clearly do not understand the meaning of “co-equal”
Once again, behavior of the guilty!
Nothing changes defiance like a nice pair of shiny handcuffs.
But then you are a farm girl and proud of it LOL
@Alex Hamilton LOl dems have passed more bills than any other time in history, but the republicans, the real do nothings, won’t even bring them up in the senate. loser russian troll.
Keep telling yourself that!
@rs ss 1000% True
@Alex Hamilton Хороший тролль, товарищ, теперь вы можете вернуться в Россию и сосать путинский пенис.
And where’s their duty and respect for the people?!
@Jeff Long House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced Monday the House would vote on Thursday to formalize the procedures of the impeachment inquiry into Trump and Ukraine, in what will be the first time the House will go on the record on the proceedings.
The vote signals a move into the next stage of the investigation following several weeks of closed-door depositions, as Democrats said the resolution would establish rules for public hearings, provide due process rights for the White House and allow information to be transferred to the committee that would ultimately consider the articles of impeachment.
@The Shadow of Truth Yes, I saw that too, it’s good, but I think they are finding more witnesses too.
@Alex Hamilton. . . . Alexander Hamilton would have never resorted to such childish whataboutism. Imagine how much you could accomplish if you could think for yourself.
Republicans only respect the rule of law when it’s in their favor.
@generationofswine and dictator.
Same as with dems !
*Uptown* they are gangsters, or even worse — at least gangsters have their code (like Robert De Niro said) and they follow their code of conduct.
And they wrote the impeachment rules ffs !
@generationofswine It is not a lawful subpoena.There was not a vote to impeach therefore the subpoenas are merely letters.
Schiff, telling it like it is.
Yes He is shaming you all…to the Stupidest generation known to mankind…..What a bunch of CLOWNS
@SMZ ZMS no shame in his game.
He is doing exactly what the law tells him to do.
You know when normal people don’t show up after a subpoena, we go to jail. How is government above the law?
@Hazzycakes No one needs to be killed. We dont need more violence in this country.
@Hazzycakes moscow mitch to
@Hazzycakes that’s already happened in this administration “Epstein”
@jfsfrnd yah you do. what’s the point of the 2nd amendment if you won’t use it to protect your democracy from your own government?
That’s LITERALLY what it was written into the constitution for. Yet here you are, acting like cowards.
@Noises Its not that simple.

The trump administration is the most corrupt administration in us history.
@Jimmy Phillips Boris, you forgot to use a conjunction in that comment. Still learning English? Can you say, “Putin sucks?”
@Jim McCarley Hey Igor, “Putin only screws white horses,” should be added to your list of popular American phrases.
How long is your shift at the Internet Research Agency? Do you work 10 hours a day, 6 days a week? Do you get time-and-a-half for overtime? Free health care?
ever hear of the teapot affair study some history
If I were subpoenaed, and I didn’t show, I’d be put in jail.
and they should do some… let their high-end Lawyers get them out…
Darn right you would. Republicans want to be exempt from any rules.
not true khan this is not criminal court also you could just plead the 5th maybe you need to increase your limited knowledge
Exactly that is how it should be
and if you breeched a SCIF you’d be shot on site
Thank you Adam Schiff for speaking for the American people.
And do you? Do you speak for the American people? How many votes do you have to put you in office? I’m sorry how many? Did you even run? So, your point is pointless. Good job.
So articulate.
They need to start locking all these guys up for contempt.
Stonewalling is a demonstrable failed strategy. Re: Nixon
rationalguy desperate ppl don’t use logic most of the time
Not in this case, because most the laws have a 5 year statute of limitations (eg, Obstruction) and if trump gets back in he will be President and much much harder to indict him in that time, i it is even possible too
This demonrat scheme is a sad joke! This is one reason President Trump will be re-elected in 2020!
meanwhile at a Trump rally:
✌🏼I’m not a crook✌🏼
🤦🏽♂️smh🤦🏽♂️
When Nixon tried to obstruct the investigation against him, THAT is when the tide turned against him.
Yes,words of lindsay Graham
Nixon didn’t have fox “news”
@Wode – no. fox propaganda started after Nixon. However, trumpers are a minority and all the rest of us have to do is rise up and vote en mass
REPUKES WERENT LIKE THEY ARE NOW…….
The white House is obstructing justice…this is historical.
No, nixon did it as well, his A G went to jail with others, i hope the same happens to Barr the pedophile.
Historic even
@rs ss Yes, this is a different story.
Nixon was our crook; traitor Trump is Putin’s crook.
@josie lets not get ahead of ourselves
History will look badly on anyone who does not do their duty to the people
Everyone corrupt needs to be held accountable for their actions.
