OUR NEXT GUEST WAS THE ONE TO BRING THAT MOTION FORWARD AND LEAD THAT CHARGE. CONGRESSMAN ANDY BIGGS CHAIRMAN OF THE HOUSE FREEDOM CAUCUS. MR. CHAIRMAN, GOOD MORNING AND WELCOME TO YOU. >> GOOD MORNING, SANDRA. >> Sandra: WE BEGIN ANOTHER WEEK. UPDATE US ON WHERE THINGS STAND THIS MORNING. >> YOU'LL SEE TONIGHT WE'LL HAVE THIS CENSURE MOTION GO FORWARD ON A VOTE. THEN THE REST OF THE WEEK THERE IS A NUMBER OF HEARINGS SCHEDULED THAT ARE CLOSED DOOR BEHIND THIS CONTINUATION OF THIS SOVIET-STYLE IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY AND THEN THERE WILL BE A BREAK LATER THIS WEEK BECAUSE OF REPRESENTATIVE CUMMINGS FUNERAL THAT WILL TAKE PLACE LATE IN THE WEEK. IT WILL BE A SHORTENED WEEK BUT FILLED WITH CLOSED-DOOR HEARINGS IN THE INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE AGAIN. >> Sandra: WHAT IS THIS MOVE, THIS CHARGE YOU'RE LEADING NOW 173 REPUBLICANS ON BOARD? WHAT DOES IT MEAN? WHAT IS THE IMPACT OF IT? IS IT LARGELY SYMBOLIC? >> WELL, IT'S TWO THINGS. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE UNDERSTAND WHAT ADAM SCHIFF IS DOING IS NOT THE NORMAL WAY THAT YOU CONDUCT AN IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY IF THAT'S WHAT IT WERE. THE SECOND THING IS IT LETS MR. SCHIFF KNOW HIMSELF HOW DISAPPOINTED WE ARE AND THIRDLY I WOULD SAY IT GIVES THE DEMOCRATS AN OPPORTUNITY TO SHOW THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WHERE THEY ARE ON DUE PROCESS AND THEY GET TO SAY LOOK, WE'RE PERFECTLY CONTENT WITH CLOSED-DOOR IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY OR THEY GET TO SAY IT ISN'T QUITE RIGHT WE WANT TO DO IT THE RIGHT WAY. IT IS FILLED WITH A LOT OF SYMBOLISM BUT THE HARSH REALITY TO IT AS WELL. >> Sandra: WE DIDN'T SEE MUCH OF ADAM SCHIFF OVER THE WEEKEND. HE DIDN'T APPEAR ON THE SUNDAY SHOWS. YOU HAVEN'T HEARD FROM HIM. WE DUG BACK IN OCTOBER 16th TWEET IN WHICH ADAM SCHIFF HIMSELF ON HIS OWN ACCOUNT SAID THIS. HERE ARE THE ACTUAL FACTS. REPUBLICAN MEMBERS AND THEIR COUNSEL ARE PRESENT FOR ALL COMMITTEE DEPOSITIONS AND HEARINGS AND HAVE THE SAME OPPORTUNITY TO ASK QUESTIONS OF ALL THE WITNESSES AS THE MAJORITY. AND REST ASSURED THE PUBLIC WILL LEARN THE FACTS. OBVIOUSLY RESPONDING TO PUBLIC CRITICISM THROUGHOUT THIS HASN'T BEEN A TRANSPARENT PROCESS AND THIS IMPEACHMENT PROCESS HAS BEEN DONE IN SECRET. TO THAT YOU SAY WHAT? >> NORMALLY WHEN YOU HAVE A FORMAL -- IF THIS WERE FORMAL AO *IDSED THE PRESIDENT WOULD HAVE HIS COUNSEL THERE AND BRING IN WITNESSES. THE REPUBLICANS WOULD BE ABLE TO BRING IN WITNESSES AND OPEN DOOR AND TRANSPARENT. YOU COULD WATCH IT REALTIME. PART OF WHAT HAPPENS IN THIS TYPE OF SETTING NORMALLY THE AMERICAN PEOPLE GET TO JUDGE THE VERACITY AND CREDIBILITY OF WITNESSES. WE'RE BEING DENIED ALL OF THAT. WE CAN'T EVEN GET THE TRANSCRIPTS. WHEN HE SAYS WE'LL SEE IT ULTIMATELY WHO WILL BE THE FILTER THROUGH WHICH WE SEE THAT? ADAM SCHIFF. HE HAS PREVENTED ME AND MANY OF MY COLLEAGUES WHO ASKED FOR COPIES OF TRANSCRIPTS AND WE JUST DON'T GET THEM. WHAT I WOULD SUGGEST TO YOU, SANDRA, THIS IS BEING DIRECTED AND PUT -- IT'S BEING CHANNELIZED AND ABLE TO CONTROL EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS INSTEAD OF LETTING THE AMERICAN PEOPLE SEE WHAT'S HAPPENING. >> Sandra: HE WROTE A LETTER TO COLLEAGUES THIS PAST WEEK. HE SAID THE SPECIAL COUNSEL'S IN NIXON AND CLINTON IMPEACHMENTS CONDUCTED THEIR INVESTIGATIONS IN PRIVATE AND WE MUST INITIALLY DO THE SAME. BACKING UP HIS CASE HE MADE ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, IN ORDER TO DO WHAT HE AND DEMOCRATS ARE TRYING TO DO THEY MUST DO IT IN PRIVATE. >> THAT'S EASY FOR HIM TO SAY BUT THIS THING HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR 3 1/2 YEARS. HE HIMSELF HAS BASICALLY TAINTED THE WELL HERE BECAUSE HE IS THE GUY WHO SAID FOR TWO YEARS THERE WAS ABSOLUTE CLEAR EVIDENCE OF COLLUSION AND THEN TURNS OUT THAT WASN'T TRUE. THEN HE HAS GONE FORWARD TIME AFTER TIME WITH MISLEADING STATEMENTS RIGHT UP TO THE OPENING STATEMENT HE GAVE IN HIS OWN HEARING. IT ISN'T REVIEW HIM AS A FAIR ARBITER. IT'S PART OF WHAT THIS GOES TO AND WHY ADAM SCHIFF IS NOT BEING RESPECTED BY THE MAJORITY HERE. WHAT HAPPENED IN THOSE PREVIOUS TWO HEARINGS YOU HAD BIPARTISAN SUPPORT FOR A FORMAL INQUIRY. THAT'S NOT WHAT YOU HAVE HERE BECAUSE THEY'VE NEVER TAKEN THE VOTE AND ADAM SCHIFF LIKE I SAY, POISONED THE WELL HERE. >> Sandra: WE HAVE ANOTHER BIG WEEK COMING UP. WE PUT TOGETHER THE WITNESSES THAT WILL BE CALLED FORWARD. TUESDAY WILLIAM TAYLOR, ACTING U.S. AMBASSADOR TO UKRAINE. SOME NAMES WE DON'T AND SOME WE DON'T. THURSDAY TIM MORRIS. IT WILL BE ANOTHER WEEK FILLED WITH WITNESSES THAT WILL BE BROUGHT BEFORE THESE COMMITTEES IN THE IMPEACHMENT PROCESS. FINE AT THOUGHTS AS WE AWAIT THE VOTE BY YOU ON THAT RESOLUTION TONIGHT TO CENSURE ADAM SCHIFF AND BEGIN ANOTHER WEEK OF HEARING FROM WITNESSES BEHIND CLOSED DOORS. >> THE AMERICAN PEOPLE NEED TO UNDERSTAND MY MOTION WILL GO STRAIGHT UP. THE DEMOCRATS WILL RUN A BASICALLY PROCEDURAL MOVE TO TRY TO KEEP US FROM HAVING A STRAIGHT-UP VOTE. IT WILL LOOK UPSIDE DOWN.
