Bill should he step down or not . Should not. Adam schiff was a staunch supporter of secretary clinton while involved in the Benghazi Investigation and nobodys calling on him to recuse himself. Devin is the chairman of house intel whether they like it or not. What we need to do is focus on the witnesses and accessing the documents and find the facts for our fellow citizens.
