Con	11/15/19	REP. ELISE STEFANIK: “So, this was day two of an abject failure of Adam Schiff and his regime of secrecy. As we saw today, he is making up the rules as he goes. He did not let Republicans put forth any unanimous consents, he did not let us control our own time, Republican members time. I think I was interrupted about six times throughout the hearing. So this is just more of the ridiculous abuse of power that we’re seeing from Adam Schiff.”	www.gop.gov	House Republicans	[none]	[none]	[none]	[link]
Pro	11/24/19	House Intelligence Committee ranking member Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) tried to turn the microphone over to Stefanik rather than GOP counsel. The move wasn't in accordance with the House impeachment proceedings' hearing rules	thehill.com	Marty Johnson	[none]	[none]	The Hill	[link]
Pro	11/15/19	NUNES intentionally violates the impeachment inquiry rules by yielding to STEFANIK. They know this violates the process set out for the impeachment inquiry and then pretend to be shocked when Schiff gavels them down.	twitter.com	Kyle Cheney	[none]	[none]	[none]	[link]

Pro	11/15/19	Schiff explained to Nunes that under the resolution that the House passed two weeks ago laying out procedures for the impeachment inquiry, the ranking member—like the chairman himself, on his own turn—could only use his 45-minute period for his own questioning or to yield to his staff counsel.	slate.com	Jim Newell	Slate	[none]	Slate	[link]
Pro	11/15/19	As Law&Crime pointed out before, the impeachment inquiry doesn’t follow the normal set of rules. “Only the chair and ranking minority member, or [an Intelligence Committee] employee if yielded to by the chair or ranking minority member, may question witnesses during such periods of questioning,” stated House Resolution 660. That means the following: Chairman Schiff could make his opening statement and question the witness, then yield to House Democrats’ counsel Daniel Goldman for questioning; Ranking Member Nunes could make his opening statement and question the witness, then yield to House GOP counsel Steve Castor for questioning. After the brief Stefanik controversy played out, Nunes yielded to Castor and Castor questioned the witness. The impeachment inquiry rules say committee members, like Stefanik, can ask their questions later on.	lawandcrime.com	Alberto Luperton	Law and Crime	[none]	Law and Crime	[link]
Pro	11/17/19	But Schiff was correct, and the Republicans were wrong. Under the resolution passed by the House two weeks earlier, at that point in the proceedings the chair and the ranking minority member of the committee (i.e., Schiff and Nunes) could use their allotted 45 minutes to either yield to staff counsel or pose questions themselves, but not yield time to “whoever they wish[ed].”	www.snopes.com	David Mikkelson	Snopes	[none]	Snopes	[link]

Pro	11/18/19	Early in the afternoon, Rep. Devin Nunes (Calif.), the Republican ranking member of the intelligence committee, attempted to yield some of his time to Stefanik. This attempt, however, violated a House resolution: Only ranking members and their staff counsel were allowed to speak at that moment.	www.washingtonpost.com	Monica Hesse	[none]	[none]	The Washington Post	[link]
