Adam Schiff, D-Cal., is one of the impeachment managers who will present the Democrats' case to the Senate. He also faces the prospect of being called to testify about his or his staff's contacts with the CIA's so-called whistleblower.
Because Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., has been pressuring the majority to call witnesses the Democrats favor for bolstering their case, the GOP says it may wish to hear from other witnesses, including Schiff, the "anonymous" (not really) CIA officer, and Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden, along with his well-remunerated son Biden.
Democrats "want all the witnesses that they want," said Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky. "They don't want any witnesses that the President wants. So I say this, either allow all witnesses, all witnesses that the President's defense team deems necessary to their defense, or no witnesses," Paul said in a Fox News interview.
"We're not going to do a kangaroo court like they did in the House," he said, adding that the House only produced witnesses that House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff agreed to.
It is certain that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, R-Cal., knew that she was creating a very serious potential conflict of interest by naming Schiff as a manager, implying that she is hoping to create more controversy, no doubt in hopes that the more controversy, the better, as she is well aware that the case has virtually no chance of doing anything but arousing Republican wrath.
