Adam Schiff, democrat master of disinformation

 
Adam Schiff is a master of disinformation. He would have made Josef Goebbels proud. For the last few years, Schiff has been the purveyor of the some of the worst assertions and accusations imaginable. He has accused Trump of being a Russian agent, of actively colluding with Russia, of bribery, extortion, campaign finance violations. He claimed to have more evidence of Russian collusion hiding “in plain sight.”

There is just one problem. None of it is true.

Devin Nunes wrote Schiff a letter in which he documented all of the times Schiff was wrong. Schiff claimed:

• FBI and DOJ officials did not omit material information from the FISA warrant.
• The DOJ “made only narrow use of information from [Christopher] Steele’s sources about Page’s specific activities in 2016.”
• In subsequent FISA renewals, DOJ provided additional information that corroborated Steele’s reporting.
• The Page FISA warrant allowed the FBI to collect “valuable intelligence.”
• “Far from “omitting’ material facts about Steele, as the Majority claims. DOJ repeatedly informed the Court about Steele’s background, credibility, and potential bias.”
• The FI31 conducted a “rigorous process” to vet Steele’s allegations, and the Page FISA application explained the FBI’s reasonable basis for finding Steele credible.
• Steele’s prior reporting was used in criminal proceedings.

Nunes then stuffed these down Schiff’s throat:

The IG report has exposed all these declarations as false. Despite your denial of any problems with the FISA warrant, the 16 found:

• Information provided by Christopher Steele played a “central and essential role” in the decision to seek a FISA warrant on Carter Page.
• There were seventeen “significant errors or omissions” in the FISA application and renewals, and the IG did not get satisfactory explanations for them.
• The Crossfire Hurricane team failed to inform the DOJ of “significant information”, and “much of that information was inconsistent with, or undercut” assertions in the FISA applications.
• The FBI relied solely on Steele information for its assertions about Page’s alleged coordination with Russians to hack the 2016 elections.
• The applications omitted information provided to the FBI about Page’s operational contact with another U.S. government agency and the agency’s positive assessment of him. In fact, an FBI official altered an email stating that Page was a source for another government agency in order to have it read the opposite—that he was “not a source.”
• FBI Director James Conley and Deputy Director Andy McCabe sought to include Steele’s reporting in the Intelligence Community Assessment even though the CIA dismissed the Steele information as `Internet rumor.”
• In FBI interviews, Steele’s own sources contradicted information from Steele that was used in the FISA applications.
• The significance of Steele’s prior reporting was ‘-overstated.”
• None of the Steele reporting on Caner Page used in the FISA applications could be corroborated, and some of it contradicted other information in the FBI’s possession.
• The FBI omitted information about Steele’s bias provided by DOJ official Bruce Ohr.
• The applications omitted exculpatory statements by Page and others.
• The FBI failed to reveal in the applications that the Democratic National Committee and the Hillary’ Clinton campaign were receiving and/or funding Steele’s work through Fusion UPS.

And these Schiff accusations went down his throat as well:

• Carter Page had a secret meeting with Rosneft CEO Igor Sechin.
• Sechin offered Page a brokerage fee involving the sale of 19 percent of Rosneft.
• Russians offered the Trump campaign dirt on Hillary Clinton in exchange for the Trump administration adopting policies favorable to Russia
• Paul Manafort chose Page to act as a go-between for the Trump campaign and Russia.

Despite this, Schiff cannot bring himself to admit how wrong he was, not with Chris Wallace

And not with George Stephanopoulos

But this is the biggest Schiff lie of all:

“I’m certainly willing to admit that the inspector general found serious abuses of FISA that I was unaware of.”

Unaware of? Schiff had all of the information that Devin Nunes had. Every single bit of it. Instead of acknowledging it and repairing the situation, Schiff went on a crusade to destroy Nunes and deny this was the truth.

Adam Schiff is a liar of galactic proportions. He has done the country major harm and truly ought to be held accountable for it. Fortunately, his constituents are getting fed up with him:

You have to wonder- why did Schiff and Comey lie as they did? Did they really believe they could snuff the life out of the truth? Did they believe they could kill the truth, bury it and keep it buried forever?

Would it not have been smarter to take the early hit and come clean instead of seeing their reputations destroyed and be seen as corrupt and dishonest from now on?

Maybe it’s a democrat thing. I don’t know. Even Nixon knew when to stop.

It’s time for democrats to abandon schiff.
