Rep. Gaetz Gets in a Heated Exchange with MSNBC’s Jackson: ‘You’re Shifting Ground Now’

‘First you say we’re not involved, then you say we didn’t issue the subpoenas’
By Grabien Staff

EXCERPT:

JACKSON: “You are a member of Judiciary, a member of Armed Services. As you know, none of those committees are the ones conducting these depositions. It’s Intel, it's Foreign Affairs, it's Oversight —"
GAETZ: "I don’t know that. I don’t know that. No."
JACKSON: "No, that is a fact. And the rules --" [crosstalk]
GAETZ: "It’s not a fact. Go back and look at December 12th hearing of the Judiciary Committee, Hallie. Go back and look. You cannot misstate that as a fact. How can you tell me it’s a fact that my committee is not involved when it was the committee chairman, chairman of the Judiciary Committee who launched the investigation."
JACKSON: "Congressman, your committee has not subpoenaed these individuals to appear for the deposition. That is just a fact."
GAETZ: "That doesn't mean we're not involved in the impeachment inquiry."
JACKSON: "It is also --"
GAETZ: "No, you’re shifting ground now, right? First you say we’re not involved then you say we didn’t issue the subpoenas -- those are two different things. And we are involved because our chairman launched the inquiry. That is a fact."
