I have a feeling Morgan Ortagus isn’t going to be invited back to guest host on The View again.
Adam Schiff was joined by the former spokesperson for US State Department and he pressed Adam Schiff about his repeated claims regarding the now-famous (and proved false) Steele Dossier.
RedState has previously reported on John Durham’s investigation revealing new evidence of how the Hillary Clinton campaign sourced the dossier with false claims through a Russian actor named Igor Danchenko. This latter has been indicted and it does not seem that the investigation is nearing completion.
When Ortagus asked Schiff about his promotion of the dossier and the ridiculous House “investigation” he chaired into supposed Trump-Russia collusion, things did not go well for the Democrat. He sank to his knees, with no explanation and, of course, no excuse for his destructive behavior.

No, that’s not how any of this works, at least not how any of it should have worked. House investigations cannot be launched into wild claims without any evidence backing. Schiff did this for political purposes despite knowing that the Steele Dossier raised major concerns from the very beginning. Further, anyone who didn’t see the dossier was disinformation by mid-2017 is either incompetent or kept it going via pure malice. When dealing with Schiff, you can likely check both boxes.
Ortega didn’t stop there, though. When Schiff tried to double down on Trump’s “misconduct,” she hit him directly on his personal credibility.
Schiff: [Trump’s]The fact that Christopher Steele was lied to by people is not a sign of serious misconduct. @MorganOrtagus? : “No. But I do believe that your credibility is sufficient.”

And that’s the biggest point here. It is not right to take seriously anyone who promoted the Steele Dossier in late 2019. Schiff did this despite all evidence. He believed he would be able to influence a presidential election. In the end, he likely to did to some extent, and that’s a shame. It smacks of Harry Reid lying about Mitt Romney’s taxes and feeling no remorse over it.
Lastly, for a little comic relief, Schiff managed to mumble something about an “erection.”

You can tell Schiff really takes the whole “insurrection” narrative seriously by the fact that he can’t even say the right word, and this is the second time he’s done that.
Ortega was able to put Schiff on his feet again, which is a credit to him. This is a man whose excuses simply don’t wash, and if there’s any justice, this won’t be the last word on his involvement with the Steel Dossier. The least we can do is hope his voters (recently held by a Republican) will vote to remove him.
