Sam Stein: Adam Schiff "Expressed Regret" For Lying About Having No Prior Contact With Whistleblower
Real Clear Politics ^ | 10/04/19 | Tim Hains

Posted on 10/06/2019 12:13:42 AM PDT by Libloather

MSNBC contributor and Daily Beast editor Sam Stein discusses new reporting from the New York Times which shows that House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff lied to him about never having spoken to the Ukraine whistleblower during an appearance on "Morning Joe" on September 17 (below). Stein admitted Wednesday on "Morning Joe" (above) that Schiff.

"We talked for a couple of minutes last night and he expressed regret for not having been more clear in his wording," Stein said Wednesday. "He said at the time, obviously, we now know the whistleblower had approached his staff, but there wasn't 100% certainty if the whistleblower that had approached his staff was the same one who was behind the complaint. There was a suspicion it was, but it wasn't 100% certainty."

"He also was explaining that he was trying to compel the whistleblower to come to testify before the committee," Stein said, defending Schiff. "But again, he expressed regret for what he said in the initial interview with 'Morning Joe' and said he should have been much more clear about it."

@samstein
Schiff did appear to lie here in previously saying that his office had not spoken directly with the whistleblower. But if you care more about this stuff than the actual substance of the whistleblower complaint than you’re being a hack.

Call me a hack. Sam needs to investigate Hillary's emails. Oh, and lock her up.

It’s OK Sam, we know you’ve been reporting Schiff’s lies as fact for years and you know it. You are a hack.

He’s not sorry he lied, he’s sorry he got caught.

Why is Stein apologizing on.behalf of Pinocchio Democrat Adam Schiff on MSNBC when Schiff should be doing this himself when this is the channel he lied on?

Has Stein lost all self respect?

Schiff is a traitor and coup plotter. So are his apologists like Sam Stein.

Exactly. He’s not sorry. He lies all the time.

“expressed regret for not having been more clear in his wording,”

Oh, so that’s how an apology for lying is characterized now. ‘Not clear in wording’.

That’s not an apology. It’s another lie! Deceptive wording at that. You can tell a lot about a sleaze bag by the way they try to snake away from the truth and manipulate/deceive others.

That’s the weakest lie I’ve ever heard, a third grader could come up with better than that.

A "journalist" who is OK with being lied to by his sources, and makes excuses for them when the lies are exposed? Yeah, if he ever had any self respect it's long gone, along with any remaining credibility.

No problem, Sam. Whistle blowers under the new rules are a dime a dozen. That Shifty Shiff failed to follow these established rules only helps to bring forth blowers of our own. Ted Cruz has announced the party will be looking for any whistle blower who has damning information regarding several shady characters on the radical liberal side of the isle: The Clapper, Brennan, Nanny P, Bill and his Hill, BO, JF Kerry, (the usual suspects).

You see, we changed a few rules ourselves. NOW, we fight back. IF we are to MAGA, new rules are necessary.

Do a little dance, make a little love, and cry tonight. BIG changes coming your way, Mr. Make Amends. Blowing is only the beginning.

The only thing that Schiff is SORRY about is that, once more, he was CAUGHT TELLING yet ANOTHER bold-face LIE.

THE TRUTH is a stranger to that CREEP.

Well "than" I'm a hack that cares more then [sic] you, Adam and "the whistle blower" about the substance of the (phony)complaint...AKA lie.

You lie, Adam lies "than" the whistle blower lies.

The only thing you said that was true is Shiff's a liar and you don't care.

BTW, proper grammar is your friend when you're a writer. .

Sounds like Schiff apologized. Time to destroy him. What’s sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. His non-apology is insincere. He has not yet begun to regret!

If this is such an ironclad case for the dems, why do they need to lie their way to this point?
