Democrat Adam Schiff Repeatedly Threatened Impeachment Witness: “Ambassador, You’re Making This Much More Complicated Than It Has to Be”

“Ambassador, You’re Making This Much More Complicated Than It Has to Be”

Democrat Adam Schiff is threatening the Democrats’ witnesses behind closed doors.

Schiff repeatedly threatened the Ambassadro Volker during his questioning inside the Democrat starchamber impeachment proceedings.

Schiff was not getting the answers he wanted so he repeatedly attempted to “persuade” the ambassador to change his testimony.

Byron York at Washington Examiner reported:

In a secret interview, Rep. Adam Schiff, leader of the House Democratic effort to impeach President Trump, pressed former United States special representative to Ukraine Kurt Volker to testify that Ukrainian officials felt pressured to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden’s son Hunter as a result of Trump withholding U.S. military aid to Ukraine.

Volker denied that was the case, noting that Ukrainian leaders did not even know the aid was being withheld and that they believed their relationship with the U.S. was moving along satisfactorily, without them having done anything Trump mentioned in his notorious July 25 phone conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

When Volker repeatedly declined to agree to Schiff’s characterization of events, Schiff said, “Ambassador, you’re making this much more complicated than it has to be.”

The interview took place Oct. 3 in a secure room in the U.S. Capitol. While the session covered several topics, the issue of an alleged quid pro quo — U.S. military aid in exchange for a Ukrainian investigation of the Bidens and a public announcement that such an investigation was underway — was a significant part of the discussion.
