Schiff angrily pushes back against GOP calls for him to step down

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) aggressively pushed back at calls for him to step down from President Trump and other Republicans, defending his past comments by lighting into the president and his family and campaign over its contacts with Russia.

Schiff at the opening of an Intelligence Committee hearing on Russia listed contacts between the Trump campaign and Russia that he described as being "not OK," signaling he'll fiercely defend himself from the calls to end his chairmanship.

"My colleagues may think it is OK the president's son was offered dirt as part of an effort to help Trump," Schiff said in his statement, pausing at times for dramatic effect.

"You might think it is OK. I don’t," Schiff added, his voice rising as he went on.

Schiff spoke after one of the panel's senior members, in a striking display, called for him to step down.

3. They are running this all day and I would imagine it will continue. So far I'm not tired of seeing

it and it's got to be the 5th time now I've seen it.
