(Sept. 27) 21edfadcacf345f793e690025614f05f Fri, 27 Sep 2019 20:33:24 +0000 RESTRICTION SUMMARY: AP CLIENTS ONLY SHOTLIST:ASSOCIATED PRESS - AP CLIENTS ONLY Washington - 25 September 2019 1. Rep. Adam Schiff speaks at press conference ASSOCIATED PRESS - AP CLIENTS ONLY Washington - 27 September 2019 2. SOUNDBITE: (English) Raja Krishnamoorthi, (D) Illinois: "I think Chairman Schiff is just a fabulous Chairman. He's able, he's whipsmart. He has the infrastructure to do the investigation and, obviously, this current situation in the bailiwick of the intelligence committee." 3. SOUNDBITE: (English) Rep. Andre Carson, (D) Indiana: (responding to reporter question on how Schiff is handling investigation) "He's an accomplished prosecutor. I think that he's talented. He's very thoughtful. He's very measured. He's very strategic and he has a heart and a passion for seeking justice. He's very qualified."4. SOUNDBITE: (English) Rep. Peter King, (R) New York: (responding to reporter question on what he thinks of House Intel Chairman Adam Schiff's handling of investigation)"It's terrible. I mean, you compare previous impeachment proceedings like Peter Rodino against Nixon, Henry Hyde against Clinton, it's really shameful and he really chose more of a lynch mob mentality than a quasi-judicial deliberative process."5. SOUNDBITE: (English) Rep. Jim Jordan, (R) Ohio: "Well what do you think? It's ridiculous, the whole thing. First of all this whistleblower - our committee, the oversight committee probably deals with more whistleblowers than any other committee in congress and the first thing you, two things you always look at to determine the credibility of the so-called whistleblower is did they have first hand knowledge and what's their motivation. This guy's got concerns with both, right? I mean, he had no first hand knowledge, wasn't on the call."6. SOUNDBITE: (English) Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, (D) New York: "The president of the United States is threatening a whistleblower's life. This is authoritarian behavior and we have to recognize and see it for what it is." STORYLINE: As they begin an investigation into President Donald Trump's dealings with Ukraine, members of the House intelligence committee may be working through a two-week congressional recess that starts Friday. The Democrats are seeking to keep momentum as the committee is suddenly at the center of an investigation that their caucus will use to inform impeachment proceedings.Adam Schiff, the careful, precise chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, is the face of the impeachment proceedings against Trump. He’s trying to strike a balance between the Democrats’ facts-only approach to the explosive investigation of the president’s handling of a call with Ukraine and his love of a dramatic flourish. Some Democrats applaud his efforts. But Republicans say his handling of the investigation is "more of a lynch mob mentality than a quasi-judicial deliberative process." ===========================================================Clients are reminded: (i) to check the terms of their licence agreements for use of content outside news programming and that further advice and assistance can be obtained from the AP Archive on: Tel +44 (0) 20 7482 7482 Email: info@aparchive.com(ii) they should check with the applicable collecting society in their Territory regarding the clearance of any sound recording or performance included within the AP Television News service (iii) they have editorial responsibility for the use of all and any content included within the AP Television News service and for libel, privacy, compliance and third party rights applicable to their Territory.
