Jason Chaffetz: Rep. Adam Schiff has proven he can’t be trusted – Shouldn’t be Intel Committee chair
Fox News ^ | September 26, 2019 | Jason Chaffetz

Posted on 09/26/2019 8:53:10 AM PDT by jazusamo

Once again, the rhetoric from House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., has been discredited by facts. With the release of the rough transcript of the July 25 call between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and President Trump, Schiff's prediction that it would show Trump had "crossed the Rubicon" has failed to materialize.

There was no quid pro quo – no "browbeating" of a foreign leader. Just two heads of state talking about Ukraine's role in 2016 U.S. election interference and discussing getting to the bottom of the corruption that has spilled over between the two countries.

With his history of deliberately distorting the truth, secretly disclosing classified information, and openly converting the House Intelligence Committee into a partisan opposition research operation, Schiff has repeatedly proven he cannot be trusted.

It's no surprise that the Trump administration initially balked at turning over sensitive information to a congressional committee led by Schiff, as it did last week. Schiff has shown himself to be a fierce partisan with little commitment to truth or discretion.

If House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., wants to restore trust in the important Intelligence Committee, she should replace Schiff with a more trustworthy, less partisan chairman. No one who is aware of Schiff's history would want to entrust him with sensitive information.

At this point, I'm not sure Schiff could even pass the background check to receive a security clearance if he didn't already have one.

Some disqualifying factors for a person seeking a security clearance include behaviors that Schiff has routinely engaged in. His pattern of dishonesty, a history of noncompliance with security issues, and deliberate unauthorized disclosures are easily proven.

Schiff’s little parody routine was simply unbelievable.

I don’t even think this farce is going to last 2 wks.

Can any Democrat be trusted. After all they might decide to perform a late term abortion on you when you are 20 or 30 or 40 or whenever .

Watching these leftist traitors grill the new DNI this morning has turned my stomach. These pompous jackass hypocrites must be taught a lesson at the ballot box.

He displays character unfit for any chair, but especially Intelligence.

He should be impeached.

I wonder if Chaffetz was singing this tune when he was serving in Congress with Schiff.

Rather priceless comment by FORMER member of congress Jason Chaffetz who could accomplish anything and ended his congressional career in total abject failure.

This might not last but another will be hatched. Why will another be hatched? because both Sessions and Barr have refused to prosecute political criminals.

After the "Russia!" BS blew up, all the aholes that had been making the rounds in the media vanished out of sight. Now they've popped back out from under their rocks - Blumenthal, Swalwell, Schiff the whole gang, saying the same stuff, just with Ukraine substituted for Russia. Pathetic.

They won’t be- apparently the left are allowed to lie and slander with impunity

Hopefully though the American people will hand them a resounding defeat in midterms for their disgusting behavior throughout Trump’s Term

Schiff is truly pathological. He’s fully embraced the ends justify the means moral reasoning of the left and is therefore completely untrustworthy. In his world, it would be immoral NOT to lie in order to damage Trump.

Well said!

He’ll do and say anything to insult and denigrate President Trump and lying means nothing to him.

The press loves Schiff because he takes the billions of dollars WE spend on 'intelligence' and doles out the product to his thug friends in the press.

It's time for 'intelligence' to auction off their work to the highers press bidder. Why should liberals trade insider information to the Washington Post and New York Times FOR FREE when we all pay for the collection?

Another benefit is negative information about liberals would also get out... and we'd make money selling rather than fluffing up the power of democrats like Schiff...

Trump should revoke his security clearance and make it clear that schiff for brains will not be allowed to see any classified material because he is a liar who will deliberately misuse it.
