Schiff: Nunes’ Actions a ‘Real Setback’ for the Committee and It’s Investigation

‘You just can’t do that if you’re really running a credible investigation’

EXCERPT:

BLITZER: “Tell us about the conversation you had with him. I know you had a chance to speak with him. That was after he left the White House, is that right?”
SCHIFF: “Yes, it was very late this afternoon. Of course, I expressed my grave concern about his taking evidence or information that may be within the scope of our investigation, not to the committee, but to the White House. And, of course, we got the first indication that something was amiss this morning when instead of doing our usual joint press conference, he decided to speak to the press independently. He has every right to do that, but they were unwilling to disclose to us even what the subject matter was. That doesn’t sound like someone who is running a credible investigation and unfortunately what we saw this afternoon was a real setback for the committee.”
