…who is reasonably bright, having graduated near the top of his classes at Stanford and Harvard Law, then successfully prosecuted a Russian spy before going into politics. So why he was stupid enough to get himself in trouble like this is a bit of a puzzle…
has always loved the spotlight, but not like this. The California senator, best known as the face of the Trump-Russia collusion hoax and the architect of the first impeachment circus, is now launching something very different: the "Senator Schiff Legal Defense Fund."
Schiff filed the paperwork with the IRS last week. This move doesn't exactly inspire confidence in his future. You don’t create a legal defense fund unless you expect things to get messy. And he knows he’s in serious trouble over his alleged mortgage fraud.
According to his camp, this isn’t about a real scandal but revenge. A Schiff spokesperson immediately blamed Donald Trump and his supporters for supposedly weaponizing the justice system.
"It’s clear that Donald Trump and his MAGA allies will continue weaponizing the justice process to attack Senator Schiff for holding this corrupt administration accountable," the spokesperson told Fox News Digital. "This fund will ensure he can fight back against these baseless smears while continuing to do his job." Translation: Schiff knows the walls are closing in, but he wants his donors to pay the bill.
The problem is that the allegations against Schiff don’t look like political fiction. The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) referred him to the Justice Department last month. Investigators say Schiff falsified bank documents and property records related to a Potomac, Md., home, securing sweetheart loan terms between 2003 and 2019.
Schiff denies everything, calling it politically motivated. Of course, that’s what he always says. The Maryland Attorney General is now actively investigating the case.

Adam seems a likely case for accountability because of his acts are heinous and despicable while his personality is unlikable. His portrait could easily be an illustration for any number of negative words in the dictionary, in fact, if you spliced his face on the original cartoon of the Grinch, his theme song would correlate. The same could be said for John Brennan.

From their mouth to the ear of G*d. Long past time for Pubs (or anti-Globalists any place else) to take the gloves off.

It cant happen fast enough. Our nation has suffered under his corrupt political attacks. He lied to the American people, bastardized our constitution to meet his nefarious goals, and hurt an elected president and ALL Americans! He did more damage to our nation than the Rosenburg's and Benidict Arnold combined...

All school proves is you can retain information and regurgitate it over the course of the degree. It has NOTHING to do with smarts. Lord knows I've meet some fucking stupid doctors.
Schiff is a parrot and a minion that tried to reach beyond his ability. Now he has been exposed.
They were longtime friends. He was ok with all that, until his daughter was involved.
[FoxNews] District Court Judge Kevin Mullins was allegedly shot dead by Letcher County Sheriff Shawn Stines in his chambers last year
The rural Kentucky judge who was allegedly gunned down in his chambers last year by a local sheriff possibly ran a scheme by which he demanded sexual favors from women to get them out of trouble, an accuser claims.
Tya Adams told News Nation she would attend sex parties for District Court Judge Kevin Mullins and his friends in the small rural town of Whitesburg in exchange for money or to get offenders out of trouble.
Adams told NewsNation’s "Banfield" that Mullins had warned her to keep quiet about what was taking place.
She said she felt she couldn’t say no because she feared retribution from the legal system and Child Protective Services would upend her life.
"They would make sure to make you feel as small and degraded and belittled as possible to take your power away," Adams said. "It was consensual. But it was the thing that we were so young, and then they used it against us and to destroy our lives later.
"That was just a given," she added. "And who would believe it anyway? Because the whole town was doing it. Nobody cares. They’re all swingers. It’s all a big party to them. It was just so normal."
It wasn't immediately clear if Adams had a criminal history or if CPS was familiar with her.
Sarah Davis, a former deputy at the Letcher County jail, told the news outlet she had never seen anyone initiating sex, but that the stories she heard were "nasty and sickening."
"Pretty much everybody in the county knows," she said. "But it was confirmed to me after working in the county jail, especially after being invited to a party myself."
She described the lockup as a "brothel" where staffers had sexual encounters with each other and with inmates.
Mullins invited Davis to a sex party once, but she said she declined.
"I was raised better than that," she said.
Mullins, 54, was shot and killed in a Sept. 19, 2024, attack inside his chambers, allegedly by Letcher County Sheriff Shawn "Mickey" Stines. Stines, who is no longer a sheriff, has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder.
Video footage of the shooting captured Stines shooting Mullins as he sat at his desk. The sheriff, the judge's longtime colleague and friend, allegedly continued to fire after Mullins fell to the floor.
The two men had eaten lunch together hours earlier with a group, authorities said.
At a preliminary hearing, Kentucky State Police Det. Clayton Stamper testified that Stines attempted to call his daughter on his phone, then on Mullins' phone. Stines' daughter was stored in Mullins' contacts, The Associated Press previously reported.

If I was a juror, I would want to know if the sheriff attended the sex parties. In fact, if this statement is true, I would like to see a lot of folks put in jail.

Jurors, at least in my experience, are not allowed to ask questions- any questions will be answered by repeating the evidence presented.

It's no surprise after all the things we see these Democrat and RINO politicians do that don't seem to make any sense. It makes perfect sense when you understand that these people have all been compromised.

[Rooters via MSN] Suck it, Engoron and "Tish" James
A New York state appeals court threw out on Thursday an approximately half-billion dollar penalty that Donald Trump had been ordered to pay after a judge found that the U.S. president fraudulently overstated the value of his properties and other assets to bolster his family business.
The decision by a five-judge panel of the Appellate Division in Manhattan represented a defeat for New York Attorney General Letitia James, whose office brought the civil fraud lawsuit against Trump in 2022.
Judges on the appellate court had signaled skepticism toward the case during oral arguments last September.
Trump was appealing a judgment entered by Justice Arthur Engoron in a state court in Manhattan, following a three-month nonjury trial.
Engoron found that Trump inflated his wealth over several years before first becoming president in 2017, to dupe lenders and insurers into providing better terms to the Trump Organization.
In February 2024, the judge ordered Trump to pay $454.2 million in penalties plus interest, which has continued to accrue.
Trump was personally liable for nearly 98% of the judgment, with his eldest sons Donald Trump Jr and Eric Trump and former Trump Organization chief financial officer Allen Weisselberg responsible for the remainder.

[FoxNews] Longtime Trump political foe Democrat Sen. 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'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" Elected to rgw Debate in 2024...> for years has been accused of leaking classified documents — long before the release of a "bombshell" whistleblower testimony claiming the Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,politician approved leaking classified information in order to discredit the president during the Russiagate probe, Fox News Digital found.
Schiff, who served in the U.S. House for more than two decades before securing his spot in the U.S. Senate in 2024, is facing heightened scrutiny following FBI Director Kash Patel declassifying claims from a Democrat whistleblower that Schiff approved the release of classified information on Trump that allegedly "would be used to indict President TRUMP," according to the report.
The whistleblower, who reportedly had worked for Democrats ...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy,white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects... on the House Intelligence Committee for more than 10 years, made the claims to the FBI in 2017. Schiff had access to classified information while serving on the House Intelligence Committee during his tenure in the lower chamber, including serving as its chair from 2019 to 2023.
"In this meeting, SCHIFF stated the group would leak classified information which was derogatory to President of the United States DONALD J. TRUMP. SCHIFF stated the information would be used to indict President TRUMP," according to the whistleblower documents.

His background is very shady. Schiff has lied to us repeatedly. He is a mortgage cheat. He has used the Speech and Debate clause as cover for breaking Federal Law regarding the leaking of classified materials. He just became a Senator, but it looks like he has kicked off one heck of a re-election campaign.

God grant us surcease from that kind of expertise.
[Reuters] William Burns, former CIA director and veteran U.S. diplomat, on Wednesday issued a scathing rebuke of the Trump administration's mass firings of federal workers, saying they are aimed at stifling dissenting views and will harm U.S. security.
"Under the guise of reform, you all got caught in the crossfire of a retribution campaign - of a war on public service and expertise," Burns wrote in a "Letter to America's Discarded Public Servants" published in The Atlantic magazine.
Crossfire, the man said. Is that one of those dogwhistle thingies so popular in leftwing circles?
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Burns was CIA director under Democratic former President Joe Biden, and a foreign service officer. He served three Democratic and three Republican presidents. His career included stints as U.S. ambassador to Russia and deputy secretary of State.
Taking aim at U.S. President Donald Trump's sweeping purge of federal workers, including State Department staff and U.S. intelligence officers, Burns said that civil servants recognize the need for serious government reforms.
"But there is a smart way and a dumb way to tackle reform, a humane way and an intentionally traumatizing way," he said. "This is not about reform. It's about retribution. It's about breaking people and breaking institutions by sowing fear and mistrust throughout our government."
They keep saying retribution. It does not mean what they say it means.

Burn's career matches the rise of the weaponization of the CIA. What he calls expertise, I would call corruption. We don’t need intelligence professionals running disinformation ops in CONUS. If he still has a clearance, I would like to see his removed.
