House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff tells GStephanopoulos that Pres. Trump 'going after' Joe Biden's son Hunter 'is just a method of going after someone the president believes is his most formidable opponent'

After President Donald Trump said it would be"appropriate" for him to speak to his attorney general about initiating an investigation into former Vice President Joe Biden's diplomacy in Ukraine while Biden's son was serving on the board of Ukrainian energy company, the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee said Sunday that such a move would not be appropriate and expressed concern that the attorney general -- who he said was lacking integrity --"just might do it.

On Thursday, Rudy Giuliani, one of Trump's personal attorneys, told The New York Times, and it was later confirmed by ABC News, that he was planning to travel to Kiev, Ukraine, to seek a meeting with its president-elect, comedian Volodymyr Zelensky, to encourage him to pursue an investigation into both special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into 2016 Russian election interference and Hunter Biden's work at Burisma Holdings while his father -- who is now vying against a...

Anticipating criticism that he was encouraging foreign interference in a U.S. presidential campaign, Giuliani told the Times,"There’s nothing illegal about it," Giuliani said. “Somebody could say it’s improper. And this isn’t foreign policy -- I’m asking them to do an investigation that they’re doing already and that other people are telling them to stop."

"How about the underlying issue, though?" Stephanopoulos pressed."There's no public evidence that the vice president -- former vice president -- took any inappropriate action to help his son, but was it right for Hunter Biden to take a job like that in Ukraine while his father was engaged in diplomacy there?"

GStephanopoulos RepAdamSchiff has been proven to have lied to your audience for years and what does George do? Well he invites him on his show. Must have no faith in their intelligence.

GStephanopoulos Adam Schiff is the Avenatti of congress.

GStephanopoulos Lolol The Dems are at top of list as ppl going about others. Dems can dish out but cant take when tables turn on them.

GStephanopoulos Joe expected this he knows how low Trump will go ,He knows he is awful and this is why he is running .We can not allow it anymore we allowed 4 years of it and enough !

GStephanopoulos But Schiff is gonna let that “tarmac” meeting slide... GTFOH

GStephanopoulos What a hypocrite this guy is? It’s ok for you and the media to go after Trump’s family, but when Trump does the same to Biden’s family it’s seen in a totally different light. Well Biden and his son may have done some real shady stuff that needs to be investigated.

GStephanopoulos Like going after the presidents family? Two edge sword

GStephanopoulos Huh? Anyone reporting on this coke-sniffing loser? (He asked knowingly)

GStephanopoulos Nothing Gets By you Adam... LMAO...

GStephanopoulos

GStephanopoulos What a hypocrite. They weaponized the FBI and have been relentless in their pursuit of the Trump family. At least he is doing it openly & not covertly or illegally. Biden had a Ukrainian atty fired and helped his son secure overseas deals. I think he should be investigated.

GStephanopoulos Adam Schitt is a 《》• AdamSchiff

GStephanopoulos Or that Biden and his family are as corrupt as the Clintons.

GStephanopoulos AdamSchiff So how do you in your corrupt mind explain Joe Biden’s son sleeping with his Brothers’s widow while he is still married. Apple / Tree. Shifty Schiff will say anything to stay on TV. He is prime Example of a Deplorable Democrat and a fantastic reason for Term Limits.

GStephanopoulos He should spend half as much time doing something productive for the country as he does being interviewed about the President. He has accomplished absolutely nothing!

GStephanopoulos “Biden threatened to withhold $1 billion in US loan guarantees if Ukraine..didn’t dismiss the country’s top prosecutor, Viktor Shokin..the campaign happened to benefit Biden’s son, Hunter, who was..on the board of Burisma Holdings, a Ukrainian company that was in Shokin’s sights”

GStephanopoulos This man is a moron. Adam , the world is still waiting for the evidence you promised. Trump has done business globally for decades but suddenly as President it is a criminal venture. Biden’s son magically wins a contract while Dad is VP.. nothing to see here move along.

GStephanopoulos No, it’s about exposing real corruption...idiot!!

GStephanopoulos Two disgraceful human beings.

GStephanopoulos Every time this ass is on your channel, your credibility deficit grows.

GStephanopoulos And what does Schiff call it when going after the President’s son?

GStephanopoulos House Intelligence Committee = oxymoron 😎

GStephanopoulos

GStephanopoulos Hahahahaha what bull crap. Funny how the media went after trump's son. Joe Biden does not have a chance, only another Democrat puppet to play the crooked Democrat game.

GStephanopoulos 👍

GStephanopoulos Hard to believe , that the dems wouldn’t want to know a connection to a foreign country Or they’re only concerned if it’s a republican. Apparently ABCrap does too

GStephanopoulos Biden and his family are on video admittedly committing crimes

GStephanopoulos If Biden did something wrong we should investigate him. It sounds egregious, so check it out. Dems should be for this investigation too.

GStephanopoulos Schiff is evil. He is abusive of his power in office and should be impeached.

GStephanopoulos Hey Hypocrite.... Going after the Presidents son is just another way to get at your party’s most formidable opponent during the next election.

GStephanopoulos So Joe’s son was under investigation for crimes. Joe, as VP, threatens withholding moneys US was giving if the prosecutor investigating son was not fired that very day. The prosecutor was fired. Corruption.

GStephanopoulos Like going after Don Jr?

GStephanopoulos That's so funny. Even Obama doesn't back him. His claim to political fame was being the dumb creepy old white guy standing next to Obama. Someone list his political accomplishments please. Should be a long list considering the length of time he's been in government. Or not

GStephanopoulos Must be following Democratic playbook. Looks and sounds familiar. All Trump has to do is write a fake dossier on Hunter and have the FBI launch an investigation on him.

GStephanopoulos I wonder if KamalaHarris will do porn after she’s voted out of office?

GStephanopoulos Hey hypocritical Shifty, going after Trump shows you liberal Nazis can’t accept an election! Biden’s son is a crook!

GStephanopoulos 👎👎👎👎👎bala bla y más blaaaaa

GStephanopoulos If he were smart hed be airing out Bidens voting record, how he signed off on every trade deal that left middle America decimated, how he is the brains behind 94 crime bill and the mass incarceration that followed and his numerous pro segregation statements he made over the years

GStephanopoulos Hunter Biden is the one who sniffed his dead brother’s wife, right? Hunter shacked up with Beau’s wife when Beau died, and you guys think Trump is f**ked up? 🙄

GStephanopoulos Why hasnt ABC(D) bothered to demand the proof of collusion that Schiff for brains claimed he's had for the past two years?

GStephanopoulos Lolol what a hypocrite resignschiff

GStephanopoulos Bwahahahaha.

GStephanopoulos What was done with Joe Biden and his son at least need to be told to the American people. Let them decide if it was kosher.

GStephanopoulos dems want no holds barred anything go, we going to see the show of our lives coming next election .

GStephanopoulos AdamSchiff is shitting in his pants. He knows the walls are closing in on his treason, and he will say damn near anything to try and escape the inevitable.

GStephanopoulos

GStephanopoulos So I guess we supposed to ignore the fact that Joe Biden admits get the prosecutor fired that was investigating his son

GStephanopoulos Isn’t this the SAME man that took on the Presidents kids? hmmmm YES! Yes it is!

GStephanopoulos I guess that is why Trump hasn't gone after RepAdamSchiff? BURN!!!!!!!

GStephanopoulos SchiffStain

GStephanopoulos Has anyone looked at a person and trusted your instincts when it comes to their behavior? How they express their words, their facial expressions, reading their eyes, body movement, the content of their message & concluded they're full of shit? I get a bad feeling about this guy.

Bernie Sanders, the Democratic field is 'fading fast' 2020 landslide 🇺🇸 Shocking. The misogynist President who paid off porn stars looks at a field of highly qualified women & immediately dismisses them for old white men. FFS — when will this national tragedy end? I'm adamant that Trump won't make it to the election.
