Republicans want Hunter Biden, Ukraine whistleblower as Impeachment Inquiry Witnesses

EXCLUSIVE: House Republicans plan to call Hunter Biden, the Ukraine whistleblower and a range of other witnesses to testify in the upcoming public Trump impeachment hearings, according to a witness list obtained exclusively by Fox News.

It is unclear, at this point, how many of the Republicans� proposed witnesses will be approved by House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff and the Democrats, because the newly-approved resolution governing the impeachment inquiry give the approval power to the chairman and the members of the majority.

"Americans see through this sham impeachment process, despite the Democrats' efforts to retroactively legitimize it last week," House Intelligence Committee Ranking Member Devin Nunes wrote in a letter to Schiff on Saturday, referencing the impeachment rules.

"To provide transparency to your otherwise opaque and unfair process, and after consultation with [House Oversight Committee] Ranking Member Jim Jordan and [House Foreign Affairs Committee] Ranking Member Michael McCaul, the American people deserve to hear from the following witnesses in an open setting," he continued.

At the top of Republicans� list is former Vice President Joe Biden�s son, Hunter, who has emerged as a central figure in the Ukraine controversy due to his business dealings.

The impeachment inquiry began when a whistleblower reported that Trump had pushed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to launch an investigation into the Biden family�s dealings in Ukraine�specifically, why former Vice President Joe Biden pressured former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko to fire a top prosecutor, Viktor Shokin, who was investigating Ukrainian natural gas firm Burisma Holdings, where Hunter held a lucrative role on the board, bringing in a reported $50,000 per month.

I recommend that Nervous Nancy Pelosi (who backed up Schiff�s lie), Shifty Adam Schiff, Sleepy Joe Biden, the Whistleblower (who miraculously disappeared after I released the transcript of the call), the 2nd Whistleblower (who also disappeared), & the I.G., be part of the list!

KT McFarland.... anytime I hear her name or (rarely) see her on TV, it reminds me of one of the sordid early chapters of this coup. That was their actions taken to frame Flynn (as we've discussed elsewhere in these threads) to ensure that he would not be able to serve as Trump's National Security Adviser. Flynn had brought in McFarland at the onset of his short (24 days) term. I always thought that KT was a good voice to have in an administration. If memory serves, she was one of the first to be ushered out the door when McMaster (an ill advised choice) replaced Flynn as NSA.

And McMaster hired Eric Ciaramella didn't he?

The Constitution matters, at least it should.

If I am not mistaken, Ciaramella was already posted to the NSC before 2017, hence there before both Flynn and McMaster. However it was McMaster, when having to deal with Ciaramella�s constant leaking, merely dispatched him back to Langley. (No doubt with a solid review in his file!)

Schiff rejects GOP requests for Hunter Biden, whistleblower to testify
Yahoo News, Nov 10, 2019

Request denied.

House Intelligence Committee Chair Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) on Saturday rejected House Republicans' request to bring Hunter Biden and the anonymous whistleblower, whose complaint about President Trump's phone call in July with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky spurred the House impeachment inquiry, to the witness stand in the inquiry's upcoming public hearings. Rep. Devin Nunes (D-Calif.), the top Republican on the House Intelligence Committee, had included Biden and the whistleblower in a letter proposing the GOP's preferred witnesses sent Saturday to Schiff.

In bringing Biden and the whistleblower to Capitol Hill, Nunes was aiming, he said, to treat Trump with more "fairness" during the investigation. But Schiff said the committee will neither "facilitate efforts" to "threaten, intimidate, and retaliate against the whistleblower," nor serve as "a vehicle to undertake the sham investigations into the Bidens."
