Schiff has set a bad precedent with issuing subpoenas during the Trump impeachment hearings - and it may eventually lead to blowback.

With the release of the report from the intelligence committee on the case for impeaching Trump, it has been revealed that secret subpoenas were issued (legality of them aside) on the same day that requests for phone records were sent out to people.  When the data provided by the subpoenas was released in the report, immediately people started criticizing the release of Shiff's political opponents and a private citizen's phone records - and they are not related to the investigation at all.  This is in stark opposition to the position taken by Democrats in the past with the NSA collecting phone metadata on citizens.  Let's take a look at it.
