Schiff Show: That Time This Top Democrat Said He Never Spoke With Trump-Ukraine Whistleblower...It Was A Lie
[TOWNHALL] Rep. Adam Schiff
...Showboating U.S. Representative for California's 28th congressional district since 2013. A member of the Democratic Party, Schiff has served in Congress since 2001. He currently serves as the chairman of the United States House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. In a manner reminiscent of Joe McCarthy, on March 22, 2017, in a interview with Chuck Todd on MSNBC Schiff claimed there was “more than circumstantial evidence now” that Donald Trump
...Perhaps no man has ever had as much fun being president of the US...
's campaign colluded with Russia." Todd followed up by asking if he had seen direct evidence of collusion and Schiff responded that there was "evidence that is not circumstantial and is very much worthy of investigation...
(D-CA) is a snake. Period. There’s no way around it. He’s part of the cabal of anti-Trump Democrats who pushed the Russian collusion myth for two years. Actually, he and the rest of his clown crew haven’t but we have a new front in this war against Trump. The Trump-Ukraine phone call that the Left thought would be their ticket to impeachment.

Continued from Page 6



Some whistleblower, who is reportedly a CIA agent, alleged that Trump shook down Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, threatening to withhold aid unless they investigated possible acts of corruption committed by Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden
...Old, boring, a plagiarist, fond of hair sniffing and grabbing the protruding parts of women, and not whatcha call brilliant...
’s son, Hunter, who was placed on the board of an energy company during his father’s time in office. Hunter was not qualified to serve in that position; he has no energy experience and it was seen as a way to sell access to the U.S. elite.

Alas, it was all fake news. There was no quid pro quo. But House Democrats decided this allegation was enough to launch a formal impeachment inquiry‐and all of this was done before the complaint was ever released.

The icing on the cake is that Schiff knew about the complaint a month before this whole impeachment circus started and now, we find out that Schiff actually had contact with the whistleblower and knew about the allegations before this complaint was formally filed. So, talk about collusion between House Democrats and the intelligence community. Also, Schiff said he never spoke with the Trump-Ukraine whistleblower. Uh, he did‐and our friends at Twitchy noted it:

I don't know exactly what Schiff means by "we" but it's pretty reasonable to think he's being dishonest here if he knew an aide had spoken to the whistleblower. https://t.co/Rn1i4eUOqc

Last month, Democratic House Intelligence chair Adam Schiff told MSNBC that "we have not spoken directly with the whistleblower"

In light of today’s New York Times

...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...

report about Schiff’s office communicating with the whistleblower before the formal complaint was filed, some people think Schiff may not be the most honest politician out there

#2 Shitshow, Part 108.

This guy reminds you of Mary McCarthy's comment about Lillian Hellman: "Every word she writes is a lie, including 'a' and 'the.'"

#3 Also: Can someone please explain WTF an intelligence agent is ensconced inside the White House?

Does our Constitution even mean anything to these people?

#4 I think it was Mark Twain who said that 1000 true statements did not make you a truth-teller, but one lie made you a liar.

#5 That's what judges tell juries in this country. A witness who lies in one matter is not to be believed in any other matter.

#6 1. Why does Schiff have any currency with anyone?
2. The guy is corrupt and a proven liar.
3. Why is he still in Congress?
4. It is time for the voters to do something for the country and dump this jackass in the coming election.

See - my crook is better than your crook.

Personally, I can blame the Newt. Term limits were part of the deal he dropped. How many of these clowns (in both parties) would be here today if term limits were passed in the early 90s?

#9 We tried term limits for the California state legislature. It didn't work. Today our state legislators are as leftist and crooked as you can possibly imagine. It is apparently easy for the villains who sponsor them to find stooges to take their places.

#10 notice that it is the NYTimes that is breaking this

they may be playing it straight or maybe decided it would be better to get this out of the way before the impeachment witnesses are shown on TV
