In this episode of “Adam Schiff being Adam Schiff”…
In the wide, wild world of liberal hypocrisy, there’s nobody better at it than California Democrat Rep. Adam Schiff, whose plethora of smackdowns by Truth and RealityThey have been immortalized as legends.
Who can forget the total fool Shifty made out of himself, month after month, eyes bulging as he excitedly trotted out to waiting TV cameras, declaring “smoking gun” after “smoking gun,” all of which, he confidently told us, would once and for all prove beyond doubt Donald Trump did indeed collude with Russia to win the 2016 presidential election? Only one problem. Each one turned out not to be big fat. There is nothing better.
As we reported in May, when the dust finally settled on “Russia collusion,” we learned it was Hillary Clinton herself behind the collusion hoax from the beginning. But where was Schiff! Full-metal crickets.
Remember how “shameless pathological liar” Schiff instantly dismissed the Hunter Biden email scandal, smugly blaming “Russian propaganda”? How’d that all turn out, Adam?
And remember how Schiff sounded the same alarms over Hillary’s unlawful use of a private server, on which she conducted official State Department business, and that she had 33,000 emails scrubbed with Bleachbit, a potent open-source disk space cleaner? Me, neither.
Adam Schiff can be described as a dime-a dozen political hacks; he simply craves more attention than any other.
No surprise, then. At this point, when Schiff declared on CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday he was confident that Attorney General Merrick Garland took every precaution and acted appropriately in the investigation prior to the FBI raid on Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence.
Breitbart transcribed Jake Tapper’s opening remarks.
A damage assessment was requested and a classified briefing provided by the intelligence community regarding last week’s raid on Mar-a-Lago. Are you getting any response from the intelligence agency? And do you have any concerns about the potential for this precedent, a search of a president’s house, to be abused?
Great question, don’t you think? Is Schiff yet to receive the damage assessment? Here’s Shifty’s response:
We haven’t received a damage assessment yet. I assume that’s being undertaken, and I have every expectation it will be shared with us. That is what I am looking forward to. Also, we as a group would love to see it. [sic] documents that were marked Top Secret SCI were in the president’s position at Mar-a-Lago.
This is serious business. This is a serious matter. [if]The documents themselves [sic]If it were to be revealed, it might jeopardize the source. The information would be exposed, and you may lose all future intelligence that you have from this source.
It’s a very serious matter, and we are determined to solve it.
OK, fine, Adam. Dude, whatever you want to say.
And here’s his declaration of confidence in Garland, which he just admitted to Tapper he didn’t have a shred of evidence on which to base his declaration — except for his eternal dishonesty and blatant hypocrisy, that is.
In terms of the precedent, I’m confident Merrick Garland took every precaution, took every effort short of the search warrant to obtain those documents. If and when the public reporting is correct that Trump lawyers asserted in an affidavit that they had given all these documents up, and the Justice Department had good reason to believe that wasn’t true, then it justifies this means of getting the information, the execution of a search warrant.
Yes, it’s a very powerful precedent. At the same time, I’m confident that it was used appropriately given the circumstances.
Again, even without the Justice Department’s damage assessment report that Schiff claims he requested.
Adam Schiff: Shameless, pathological lying pathological liar.
