"That is deeply concerning," Schiff continued."And there are signs that the CIA may be on the same tragic course. We are counting on the intelligence community not only to speak truth to power but to resist pressure from the administration to withhold information from Congress because the administration fears that they incriminate them."
Congressional Democrats have previously lamented the State Department and Pentagon's refusal to provide key documents related to Ukraine. The NSA and CIA did not immediately respond to requests for comment from NBC News.Trump's impeachment trial is set to begin on Tuesday. Democrats and Republicans are still battling as to whether additional documents and witnesses will be presented at the trial — something that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.
The two articles of impeachment charge the president with abusing his power by pushing for Ukraine to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden, his son Hunter Biden and Democrats while withholding nearly $400 million in military aid to the country as well as an official White House visit for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and with obstructing Congress' efforts to probe his conduct.
"Well, you know, unfortunately, I think those reports are all too accurate," Schiff said."The intelligence community is reluctant to have an open hearing, something that we had done every year prior to the Trump administration, because they're worried about angering the president."
The Democrats were satisfied with their “investigation” when they voted to impeach realDonaldTrump. Now, they need more evidence? The Senate’s job is not to hold an impeachment* do over.
Why is this happening. Put someone in jail already.
All of the documents that Trump has withheld from congressional subpoena will ultimately be disclosed by the next Democratic president. At that point Trump and Republican senators who continue to protect him will have no place to hide. History will excoriate them!
More Schiff lies and BS. Just like all the hard evidence he had on the whole Russia thing.

SchiffShamImpeachment
Can't wait until Admiral Rogers testifies on 'relevant documents' some day.....
He should of done a better job
Schiff....”potentially “. I love his choice of incriminating words.
This isn’t a investigation, that over, now the senate will conduct a trial on evidence gathered by the house
With a compelling case why still need evidence so badly that only means you have non
IT'S documented RepAdamSchiff is a liar. He lied about having collusion evidence which didn't exist. Still giving him credibility? FakeNewsMedia
RepAdamSchiff Schiff is a treasonous liar spinning a illegitimate partisan impeachment.
Tell Schiff to release the Atkison testimony!!! What is Schiff hiding?
NBC is nothing but Democrats Central. How can anyone believe Schiff or Pelosi
The House impeachment process is over. Now onto Senate trial.
Everything that comes out of shifty schifts mouth is schitt
The Joseph McCarthy of our time.
The NSA has it all 👍 Impeachment
Be careful what you ask for Adam Schiff. The NSA has a trove of documents relative to the crimes committed before and during this impeachment. Rumor has it there are even photos being passed around of you celebrating with your pedo pal Buck.
The intelligence community has always been filled with people who put political considerations (false intelligence: WMD, Saddam & 911, Iraq, Afghanistan, etc.) before country. Is it that surprising that they put the interests of the GOP over the interests of the US? RemoveTrump
Lol im sure😂😂😂
AdamSchiff demanded that his BS Impeachment could 'NOT wait' for the courts, the situation was dire and demanded immediate action. NOW Democrats want more time/more evidence/more witnesses. Like an arsonist asking to pour more gas on the fire
Could it be this?
Not believable, no one has cryed wolf more than this guy
Sure . Sure. As head of the intelligence committee Poor old RepAdamSchiff couldnt get NSA to cooperate. Sounds blatantly a lie.
Ironically. The person withholding the most evidence, based on his claims, is Chairman Schiff. RepAdamSchiff
Then RepAdamSchiff AdamSchiff FTLOG subpoena those dealing with this, Inherent Contempt where they fail to show or produce the goods You've got to be STRONG in the era of Trump, not scared to cause ripples. ACT.
Does anyone actually believe Adam “Pinocchio” Shiff
I believe Adam Schiff has more important things to be concerned about.
Everybody is complicit in the republican cover up
Three “wise” men?
Lol Adams Schiff says. Biggest liar in DC
NBCNOW TWEETING.....
Yes they are going to keep all evidence under wraps. That President got a hold on them fools. But really what more incriminating evidence do you want. They don’t care!
People still taking Adam Schiff seriously is the bigger story.
I would think Trump is effectively suppressing NSA intel amongst other things.
Shiffy has zero credibility to talk about anything. One of the biggest liars in the swamp
