It's interesting that Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) would call the Mueller Report "worse than Watergate," and at the same time, an actual Watergate reporter, Bob Woodward, says that it's not the Trump administration that needs investigating, but the FBI and CIA for how they handled what is not a debunked and politically contrived dossier. House Intelligence Committee Chair Rep. Adam Schiff continues to pushes lies that he fabricates in his own head after the Mueller report was released. In other words, he just can't let it go. "Well, I think it’s clear from the Mueller report that that’s exactly right,"...

Full title: Dozens of Dems vote 95 percent of time with AOC despite Pelosi's claim that bloc is 'like five people'Nearly 70 Democrats have been voting in tandem with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez despite House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s scoffing that the far-left Democratic wing was only “like five people.” Pelosi downplayed the influence of the new-wave progressives, particularly Ocasio-Cortez, who pushed the party leftwards, during an interview with CBS News' Lesley Stahl on “60 Minutes,” saying that despite the noise, the party is still largely centrist and rejects socialism “as an economic system.” “You have these wings, AOC and her group...

Carolyn Carpeneti, Mayor Willie Brown's fund-raiser and mother of his 2-year-old daughter, has been paid at least $2.33 million over the past five years by nonprofit groups and political committees controlled by the mayor and his allies, public records show. The relationship intensified after Brown was elected. ... According to people who know them, then-Assembly Speaker Brown met her at a party during the 1995 mayor's race. Brown, who is married but has been separated from his wife for 25 years, was dating lawyer Kamala Harris, now a candidate for district attorney. Nevertheless, Brown soon phoned Carpeneti and invited her...

Democratic Connecticut Sen. Richard Blumenthal is demanding that Attorney General William Barr “retract his unfounded, irresponsible claim that American law enforcement ‘spied’ on the Trump Campaign.” Blumenthal made the remarks in a Wednesday tweet and insisted that “the only spies interfering in the 2016 campaign were Russian ones.”

Attorney General William Barr’s comment that he thinks “spying did occur” by intelligence agencies on the Trump campaign quickly reverberated outside the Senate committee hearing room, raising the hackles of top Democrats. “The top law enforcement officer of the country should not casually suggest that those under his purview engaged in ‘spying’ on a political campaign,” House Intelligence Committee chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) said in a statement. “This type of partisan talking point may please Donald Trump, who rails against a ‘deep state coup,’ but it also strikes another destructive blow to our democratic institutions.” Schiff’s fellow chairman Jerry Nadler...

The largest donors on the left will be given a 'private briefing on investigations' into President Donald Trump by House Jud. Committee chairman 'Jerrold Nadler' during a 'secretive' Texas gathering this week, according to documents obtained exclusively by the Washington Free Beacon. 'The Democracy Alliance', a group of millionaire and billionaire funders of the liberal movement,is holding its Spring Partner Retreat and Strategy Conference at the Four Seasons hotel in Austin, where security has been patrolling the meeting areas since Wednesday. As always at the group's secretive meetings, all programming is off the record and closed to members of the...

Former White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer said Democrats have a "dug a hole" for themselves with their years of claims of Trump-Russia collusion and now don't know what to do after Special Counsel Robert Mueller did not confirm their suspicions. He said Mueller's report does not have to be released, according to Justice Department policies, and Attorney General William Barr is going "above and beyond" by promising to release a redacted version to Congress. Spicer blasted House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) for continuing to claim collusion occurred "in plain sight." He said if that were true, Mueller...

Full title: Here's Who Jason Chaffetz Believes Should Lose Their Security Clearance Over The Mueller Investigation Former Chairman of the House Oversight Committee and Fox News contributor Jason Chaffetz (R) said he believes House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) needs to resign from the committee and have his security clearance revoked. Despite the Mueller report showing President Donald Trump did not collude with Russia, Schiff has gone on various TV shows saying there is "evidence" that actually proves that finding to be false. Of course, Schiff continually pushes that narrative but has absolutely nothing to back up claim. “I...

What do New York, San Francisco and Chicago all have in common? They’re all willing victims of socialism. The far-left political ideologies that have consumed these cities are now driving them deep into financial ruin — and citizens are fleeing in greater numbers every year. Whether it’s a lack of job opportunity, exorbitantly expensive housing costs, or high taxes, there’s no shortage of bones to pick with socialist policies. While liberals may herald socialism as the progressive dream, its ideologies don’t hold up very well in the real world.

Crooked Leaker-Liar Adam Schiff CUTS MIC ON GOP LEADER IN INTEL COMMITTEE!

Liberal billionaire Tom Steyer has refused to abandon his campaign for President Trump’s impeachment even after the special counsel’s report found no evidence of collusion between Trump and Russia. “The Democratic leadership in the Congress has the same goals and values that I do. But we have something that we disagree about, that is about tactics not about values or goals,” Steyer told ABC News in a podcast Thursday, referencing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s call for Democrats to back off calls for impeachment. Steyer said the “Need to Impeach” movement, which he heads, carry on seeking support for the removal...

A growing chorus of Congressional Republicans are now calling for the resignation of Adam Schiff from the House Intelligence Committee; sending the embattled Congressman a scathing letter as he continues to peddle “collusion” conspiracy theories. “Your actions both past and present are incompatible with your duty as Chairman of this Committee,” the letter stated. “We have no faith in your ability to discharge your duties in a manner consistent with your Constitutional responsibility and urge your immediate resignation as Chairman of this Committee.”

The top two House Democratic leaders flocked to Rep. Adam B. Schiff’s defense Thursday after Republicans called for him to be stripped of his post as chairman of the intelligence committee. Speaker Nancy Pelosi said the Republican attacks were “shameful” and “irresponsible.” “They’re just plain afraid,” she said. “They’re afraid of a leader who is recognized in our country as being calm, professional, patriotic.” House Majority Leader Steny H. Hoyer said Mr. Schiff won’t be ousted from his post, praising his integrity and intelligence.

The end of the Robert Mueller investigation has demolished Democrats' mythology about the 2016 election. That should force them to confront some unpleasant truths about what has happened to their party since President Trump's election — and, more to the point for 2020, it should force enough introspection to prevent a repeat performance. The idea that Trump colluded with Russia to defeat Hillary Clinton was appealing to many Democrats in the same way any conspiracy theory appeals to the confused: It seemed to explain the inexplicable, with paranoia providing enough elasticity to gloss over any plot holes. The theory's most...

Conservative commentator Mark Levin lashed out against the Democrats in the aftermath of special counsel Robert Mueller submitting his final report to the Justice Department. During his Fox News show Sunday, the nationally syndicated radio host blamed former President Barack Obama's government for seeding a Russian collusion frenzy and called for an investigation into their role in peddling the narrative. "The Democratic Party is not a pro-America party. They act like a third-world party because they want to destroy this presidency," Levin said. "It is time to focus on the Democrats in the House. It is time to focus on...

Full Title: Trump campaign sends memo to television producers warning about 'credibility' of six Trump critics who it says spread false claims about collusion Trump's re-election campaign sent a memo to television producers on Monday instructing them to "employ basic journalistic standards when booking" six current or former government officials that the campaign said "made outlandish, false claims, without evidence" while on air. The memo names: Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn. Rep. Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., the chair of the House Judiciary Committee Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez John Brennan, the former director of the Central Intelligence Agency Rep.

One of the firmest rules in modern American politics these days is that candidates need to get out there and define themselves before somebody else gets a chance to do it for them. That seems to be a lesson that hasn’t been lost on California Senator and presidential hopeful Kamala Harris (D). Her greatest fear clearly appears to be the risk of being seen as part of the old Democratic establishment in an era of aggressive young socialists influencing their party. She made that point clear when she showed up for church services in Atlanta this weekend, talking about the...

Donald Trump Jr. took to Twitter Sunday to troll House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), hours after Attorney General William Barr delivered a summary of special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation to Congress. As lawmakers from both sides of the aisle reacted following Barr’s conclusion from Mueller’s lengthy investigation into collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia to interfere in the 2016 election, Trump Jr. knocked Schiff for remaining quiet. “Has anyone heard from slimy Adam #fullofschiff Schiff today?” Trump Jr. wrote in a post on Twitter Sunday evening. “I mean it must be embarrassing to have have spent the...

Rep. Adam Schiff, the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, said special counsel Robert Mueller erred when he didn’t interview President Trump about possible collusion during the 2016 election. “I’ve said this all along: It was a mistake to rely on written responses by the president,” the California Democrat told ABC’s “This Week,” because the written answers are “generally more what the lawyer has to say than what the individual has to say.” “I can certainly understand why the lawyers like Giuliani were fighting this because the president is someone who seems pathologically incapable of telling the truth for long...
