Dear House Republicans: If you fall for this ruse, you deserve whatever you get. – In what House Republicans are correctly referring to as a “Sunday narrative ambush,” the Democrat/media/deep state axis of disinformation spent all day claiming that Adam Schiff’s first fake “whistlblower,” revealed by Paul Sperry and RealClearInvestigations last week to be CIA analyst and John Brennan acolyte Eric Ciaramella, is suddenly “willing to answer questions” from Republicans as the impeachment scam continues to barrel down its fake tracks.
The deep state leaker’s lead attorney, Mark Zaid, tweeted out the offer just as the Sunday morning fake news programs were cranking up for their weekly parade of disinformation:
Mark S. Zaid ✔ @MarkSZaidEsq WBer NEWS ALERT:
1/Our legal team offered GOP direct opportunity to ask written questions of #whistleblower.
Recent GOP messaging, led by President Trump (incl this morning), has been to highlight original #WBer & demand disclosure of identity.
See the catch there? The offer is not for Ciaramella to offer public testimony, live and on national television: The offer is for “GOP” to “ask written questions” Ciaramella through his lawyer team, which we already know has been in hand-to-hand coordination with Schiff and his staff. This, of course, would inevitably mean that any answers to “GOP” questions would be written by a team of government and high-paid private lawyers at the Compass Rose Legal Group, where Zaid has his practice.
In an interview with an always-eager-to-conspire CBS News on Saturday, Zaid hilariously claimed that his client “wants to be as bipartisan as possible” during this process, all while remaining anonymous. Of course, this is not an offer for cooperation or bipartisanship at all: It’s simply a tactic deployed to control the narrative around Ciaramella and his spying on the President of the United States.
Zaid claimed to have made the offer through Devin Nunes, ranking Republican on Schiff’s clown committee, but House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy told Face the Nation that the first he’d heard about it was when asked a question about it on-air:
Face The Nation ✔ @FaceTheNation NEWS: @gopleader tells @margbrennan he was not aware of an offer made to Rep. Devin Nunes for the #whistleblower to talk to House Republicans. "I have never received that offer, and I'm the lead Republican," McCarthy tells @facethenation. https://cbsn.ws/36s0ZQY
To be perfectly clear about this: Ciaramella is not only unwilling to answer any GOP questions, he is unwilling to personally field any questions at all about playing his role in serving as the deep state actor who triggered this entire fantasy play. Any questions that go through his lawyers will be answered by his lawyers, carefully scripted to ensure that no real information is communicated and that the answer fully supports the Axis of Disinformation’s preferred narrative.
I keep waiting for McCarthy and other GOP congressional leaders to wake up to the reality that the Democrats are embarked on not only an effort to take down President Trump, it is an effort to destroy the Republican Party as a viable national political entity.
After three and a half years of a perpetual, neverending effort to find some evidence – any old evidence would do – of wrongdoing by Mr. Trump, we know he has done nothing wrong and does not deserve this fate. But if McCarthy and his fellow House Republicans fall for this latest transparent tactic and actually demean themselves by submitting written questions to Ciaramella’s lawyers, then their Party richly deserves whatever the Democrats want to do with them.
The only proper answer to Zaid’s fake offer would be for McCarthy and Nunes and other Republicans to take the floor of the House today and spend hours revealing Ciaramella’s identity and biography to the world. It is long past time to quit cooperating with this Lawfare-inspired charade that paints him as anything other than a disloyal spy and leaker of highly-classified information.
That is all.
Order the SOB to the Oval Office for a proper interrogation. If he refuses, then lock him in a place without light or fresh air, until he does.
I agree with this article.
How many viewers watch the Sunday shows?
Trump has 66 million followers on Twitter.
I don’t know a soul under 40 that watches these shows.
I honestly don't know anyone who does, period.
Excellent suggestion to the pubbies...take to the podium, openly report this clowns resume for the world, and the Congressional Record, to see.
The pubbies have not displayed the stones for this kind of scorched earth approach, sadly.
For me...I’ll stand with Trump.
I actually don’t either :)
The MSM is having the tantrum of all tantrums because ONLY DIE HARD DEMS care what they have to say.
I don’t think there’s many that are on the fence about Trump after 3 years.
I think he will get almost all the votes he got in 2016 and more.

Everyone in DC and the fake news media watches these shows. They serve as the narrative-setter for the Deep State and echo chamber for the Democrat/media propaganda complex every week.
That might have meant been something at one time but social media has (very inadvertently) destroyed that.
So, Schiff and the spy’s lawyers will answer the questions. What a scam. Who’s paying for the lawyers?

Only the hardcore political junkies watch. I can only stand those HATE TRUMP shows for a few minutes.
Adam shitt and his sock puppet clown show. How long do we put up with this nonsense
“So, Schiff and the spy’s lawyers will answer the questions. What a scam. Who’s paying for the lawyers?”
Question the lawyers who are working for Schiff and the DNC. I do not believe attorney client privilege exists for congress. Do not even mention the whistle blower.
I think if this economy keeps going the way it is and if the Democrats keep up their nonsense, he's headed to an electoral college landslide.
California burning, nearly 50% of the country's homeless is IN California and more than 65% agreeing with PDJT's "trade war" with China and his handling of the economy speaks very well for him right now.
With everything bad that's happening in California right now and how pissed off people are, I have to wonder if that state may actually be in play for 2020. What a repudiation of CA's governor and State Legislature that'd be. (Probably wishful thinking on my part but hey -- why not dream big?)
That might have meant been something at one time but social media has (very inadvertently) destroyed that.
I agree with you, but they serve as a window into what the Democrat/media complex’s narrative is going to be for the coming week, and it’s always useful to know what the enemy is thinking.
Any bets the first letter is an S and the last letter is an S?
If the Republicans go along with submitting questions in writing, they'll deserve the losses they get.
That’s a staggering number of people who would have to have changed their minds.
Has any state that went 60/40 or better for one party elected a president from the other party 4 years later?
I wouldn’t even know how to ask that on google :)
That’s a great point
That's a damn' good question. I'm going to noodle on that one a bit and see if I can figure out how to find that out (short of looking directly at Presidential election results by state for the past 50 years....)
LOL
Send me the answer when you find out.
I looked up a bunch of different things and didn’t even come close :)
