 used these documents to smear the      
personal attorneys of the ,president1 a 
journalist1 and to create a false       
narrative about a sitting ,member of    
,congress and current and former        
congressional staff2 ,whereas on        
multiple occasions in both closed-door  
depositions and public hearings1        
,chairman ,schiff abused his power as   
chair by unilaterally restricting       
,republican lines of questions and      
supporting witnesses' attempts to evade 
answering ,republicans' or the          
minority's questions by directing       
witnesses not to answer certain         
questions from ,republican ,members and 
staff2 ,whereas on multiple occasions in
 both closed-door depositions and public
 hearings1 ,chairman ,schiff abused his

raise valid points of order1 and        
repeatedly interrupting ,republican     
,members and staff when they controlled 
the time2 ,whereas at the ,house

was furnished with a request for a      
minority day of hearings1 pursuant to   
clause #b7;j77#a7 of rule ,,xi of the   
,rules of the ,house of                 
,representatives1 signed by all

party1 ,chairman ,nadler refused to     
schedule such hearings2 ,whereas

furnished ,chairman ,nadler with a      
letter reminding him of his obligation  
to schedule a minority day of hearings1 
as requested by members of the minority 

party1 and ,chairman ,nadler ignored the
 letter and failed to respond2 ,whereas 
,chairman ,nadler repeatedly misstated  
the rules1 misguiding members of the    
,committee and the ,american people1 and
 refused to rule properly on members'   
points of order concerning the requested
 minority hearing day2 ,whereas         
,chairman ,nadler refused to consider   
the scheduling of the minority hearing  
day during a committee meeting until the
 markup of articles of impeachment2     
,whereas in place of finding common     
ground with the minority1 ,chairman     
,schiff and ,chairman ,nadler have      
constantly disregarded the ,rules of the
 ,house of ,representatives and ignored 
the fundamental rights of the minority2 
and ,whereas ,chairman ,schiff's and    
,chairman ,nadler's actions and abuses  
of power as chairmen of the ,permanent  
,select ,committee on ,intelligence and 
the ,committee on the ,judiciary have   
willfully trampled on the rights of the 
minority in violation of the ,rules of  

the ,house of ,representatives and      
brought dishonor and discredit upon the 
,house of ,representatives3 ,now1       
therefore1 be it  ,that-- 7#a7 the      
,house of ,representatives strongly     
condemns ,chairman ,adam ,b4 ,schiff for
 repeated and blatant abuse of power in 
a way that is not befitting an elected  
,member of the ,house of                
,representatives nor his position as    
,chairman2 and  7#b7 the ,house of      
,representatives strongly condemns the  
manner in which ,chairman ,jerrold      
,lewis ,nadler has failed to respond to 
the minority's request for an additional
 day of hearings to consider the        
impeachment of ,president ,donald ,john 
,trump4
