Investigation into Whistleblower Contacts

I can tell you one thing that we've learned

very clearly, and that is that the Inspector General

for the Intelligence Community can provide no information

about the contacts between the HPSE majority and the whistleblower

prior to his involvement.

So the only way that we'll be able

to get that information is from the HPSE majority themselves.

They are fact witnesses in the same investigation

that they are now running.

Nowhere else in the United States of America can you

be both a fact witness and the prosecutor

or investigation in anything, much less an investigation

to remove a president from office.

It's entirely inappropriate,

and Chairman Schiff should be disqualified from running an investigation

where his committee,

members or staff,

are fact witnesses about contact with the whistleblower and the whistleblower process.
