They will probably call him a liar about that, too. If Trump says 300mm and it was 298mm, they'll call him a liar for that, too.
was it the truth?

Schiff is doing what anyone doing an investigation would do. You don't consult and share evidence with the person under investigation while doing the investigation..
So according to what you just said, Schiff isn't just investigating the President, but he's investigating the *entire* Republican Party?! Really? So none of them can be party to any of it because he plans to indict and impeach every single last mother-loving one of them?!

President Trump has been saying no president should be treated they way he has been treated.
I do not see many on the left or democrats saying this will be bad for THEIR future.
Because it won't be. Unlike you guys we don't want our crooked politicians to be protected.
Thinking otherwise is nothing but pure projection.

well gee willakers, why would that be? Day 1 he lied to the American people about the crowd at his inauguration, One of the first things I heard from him was " can I pardon myself"... wont release his taxes, wont recuse himself from his companies, makes money off his office, makes his family top advisors, has his personal atty doing govt work, most of his cabinet picks are not qualified or in prison now, .... mocks Americans....
No president may have been treated like like him because we never elected an ass such as him...
He gets treated that way because he acts that way... He is an ass and should be treated as such

Yep. One would think that Nunes would have been standing with this group of interlopers and speaking for them as he is as you say so vocal at other times. Could it be that he has heard things to change his mind about all of this? ......Nah, never mind cuz that ain't gonna happen with him at least.

Fox News is told about a dozen Republicans are still in the secure facility known as a SCIF. In another complication, some non-committee members brought in phones and other electronic devices in possible violation of House rules.
If this is true that they were in a SCIF and that some people brought in electronic devices. There's a problem. You cannot bring in electronic devices to the SCIF. The SCIF is a secure room that has sensitive data in it. Though this sounds like they were in there to listen to sensitive testimony. If the people barging did not have clearance they don't belong in there for any reason.

Let them investigate. The more time they spend on that, the less time they spend on running the country properly, which increases the odds that Democrats will be removed from House Majority next year.
We will see. However, a factor in the election in 2018 of the Democratic majority was impeachment of President Trump. Given the current approval rate of 88% among Democrats for impeachment, I'm not sure you'll get what you want.

Is that the same 88% that, when polled, said they would vote for Hillary in 2016?

The Dems are acting like 2-year-olds and seriously breaking the law in their zealous attempts to overturn the 2016 election.
Where, in God's name, is there an adult in government?
We are the laughingstock of the planet.
I think the beef today is that only Dems have been allowed into the scif for the hearings. If my info is wrong about that, please correct me.
only members who sit on the authorized committees are permitted to sit in on the sessions. Scores of Republicans who sit on the three panels leading the inquiry have been participating in the witness interviews.

You are wrong.
Only those who sit on the three committees can attend. The committees include both democrats and republicans. The Republicans who stormed the hearing are NOT part of the three committees, which is why they are not allowed to attend.
