Rep. Doug Collins (R-Georgia), the ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee, says Republicans want to call Adam Schiff to testify about the impeachment report he is putting together.

GOP GA Rep Collins on Fox: The first and foremost the person who needs to testify is Adam Schiff. Schiff is the author of this report. He has been the author of many things a lot of them found to be false. My first and foremost witness is Adam Schiff. — Chad Pergram (@ChadPergram) December 1, 2019

He told Chris Wallace on ‘Fox News Sunday’ that the GOP is getting its witness list to Judiciary Committee chairman Jerry Nadler and that Adam Schiff is the “first and foremost” witness from whom they want to hear.

If Schiff does testify, he’ll have to answer for a number of things. If he doesn’t testify, he’ll look weak. Either way, it’s hard to see the optics for Democrats getting any better.

Collins also said the upcoming public hearing (scheduled for Wednesday) featuring “constitutional scholars” being questioned about impeachment will be a waste of time.

Recent polls show a lot of Americans are fed up with this. We’ll see how long Democrats drag it out.
