Adam Schiff has been back on cable news presenting damning evidence against Donald Trump. This time, it’s not about now-debunked Russian collusion. Rather, it’s about January 6th and the idea that the former president was part of a conspiracy to illegally attempt to overturn the election.
While appearing with Martha Raddatz on CNN, a second home for Schiff since the early days of the Trump administration, the California congressman asserted that he “has evidence” that the former president actively participated in a January 6th scheme to produce fake electors.

You should consider many things, including whether Schiff’s remarks are legal. Obviously, there’s a long history of politicians challenging elections in the United States. The certification of both the 2004 and 2016 elections was challenged by two members of the Jan 6th committee. In this case, there was talk of producing an “alternate” slate of electors who would not cast their votes for Biden, despite the results in their states.
Ironically, the idea that a state’s electors could ignore the election results and vote their “conscience” was pioneered by Democrats in 2016, with the suggestion that Trump could be denied the White House. Now, the same people who didn’t have a problem entertaining that scheme want to pretend it’s some massive conspiracy for Trump associates to talk about it four years later.
The point is simply that even if Schiff were telling the truth that Trump was part of the discussions, that doesn’t actually add up to much. Nothing mentioned here was actually executed. Many naive ideas were floated in the weeks following the election. The legality of those ideas, as Schiff mentions, was challenged by Trump’s lawyers and they didn’t happen. So, what exactly are we even talking about here except Democrats again pushing a political narrative–that doesn’t actually add up to the criminal narrative they swear they have evidence for?
And getting back to the claim of evidence, watch the clip until the end and you’ll see Schiff play a familiar game. When Raddatz challenges him to reveal what he’s talking about, the congressman quickly hides behind the claim that he doesn’t “want to get ahead of the hearings.” We’ve all heard this song and dance before. It’s exactly what Schiff said during the Russian collusion nonsense, as he constantly teased “evidence” that never arrived.
Last but not least, it is impossible to believe that Trump has been implicated in an illegal conspiracy by the January 6th committee. All random information that might hint at the possibility of Trump being involved in an illegal conspiracy has reached the media. The committee has been locked down in one case. Joe Biden might mumble “Come on man.
Schiff is simply a psychopath liar. Schiff is an untrustworthy man, who makes empty promises that he will keep. CNN still considers him a reliable source, which is more evidence of just how rubbish this news network really is.
