Newsweek: Watch: Adam Schiff Lists All the Ways He Says Trump Campaign Colluded With Russia, Shuts Off Republican's Mic
During a public hearing on Thursday, House Intelligence Committee chairman Adam Schiff presented all of the ways that members of President Donald Trump’s inner circle colluded with the Russians both during and after the 2016 presidential campaign.
The hearing was held less than one week after special counsel Robert Mueller issued a report on potential collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia. The report has not yet been given to Congress, but Attorney General William Barr presented a four-page summary of the report that noted that the special counsel does not plan to issue any further indictments. Nevertheless, Schiff said Thursday that the evidence collected by the special counsel’s office demonstrated that President Donald Trump and his associates had behaved in a way that was unethical, corrupt, and unpatriotic.

WNU Editor: Republicans are now calling for the resignation of Chairman Adam Schiff .... House intelligence Republicans call on Chairman Adam Schiff to resign (CNN).What's my take. Considering the fact that Attorney General William Barr four-page summary of the Mueller report repudiates everything that congressman Adam Schiff has been saying for two years, his response would be to acknowledge the report, or ignore it. He has made the decision to not only ignore it, but to double down on his claim that President Trump is essentially a traitor.
No one wants to admit that they were drinking the Kool-Aid, let alone acknowledge that they were the lead distributor.
ReplyDelete"Bo one wants to admit they were drinking the Kool-Aid...." A more diplomatic way to put this is "no one ever wants to admit they were wrong." This is human nature and all of us are likely vulnerable to this to an extent.
ReplyDeleteIn private enterprise this tendency is held in check to a large degree by the need to actually generate positive income and keep the organization in business!! Governments and those who operate in them face no such restraints. Furthermore this tendency is backed up by a very supportive media/echo chamber reinforcing such destructive tendencies. To add to all of this, those pushing this narrative seem to have no shame as in what a normal person would have.
This nonsense has stoked conflict with a major world power essentially wounding if not killing what had been a very careful and meticulous diplomatic effort with this major world power by the Trump Administration and exacerbated Cold War 2, a war we didn't need, can't readily afford, winning is going to be problematic at best, and even if we win it's unclear what exactly we "win."
Someday there will have to be an accounting for this. I suspect the mothers of these people will one day curse the day they gave birth to such people.
As to when the report will be leaked and what will be leaked, I suspect that the bulk of the report will exonerate Trump and his team including on the so obstruction of justice. The part in the summary of not exonerating I believe is much like a prosecutor might say "a jury wouldn't find this person guilty but I think he's guilty." In other words, it's a cheap shot to justify continuing the so called witch hunt. As such, publishing the report in its entirety seems unlikely. Instead I would expect "cherry picking" the parts that support an anti-Trump position, taking them out of context as necessary, to be marked for release. Besides I think I remember reading and hearing that it is against the law to release a report where there isn't a prosecution. Maybe I am wrong on this but I am hard pressed to figure where honor an decency has ever applied to those wishing to harm president Trump.
Well Adam is just "Schiff for Brains"
