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.
I’m at church. The last thing I need is to raise my blood pressure unnecessarily because of worldly political games.
Any serious march on Washington D.C., will need to be equipped with many 12’ lengths of 3/4” rope. Pre tied with a loop on one end, also referred to as a noose.
I would suggest one of the first 10 should include a loop in the size...pencil-neck.
If he refuses the GOP should demand that the entire process be cancelled. They went on and on about the “bombshell whistle blower” which initiated the whole thing. They’re spineless unless they demand to question him.
My suggestion is sue Nancy and Adam in Federal Court. Every Executive Order the President signs gets challenged in court, so why not the unconstitutional actions by Nancy and Adam?
LOL I’m reading FR for news, why should I watch some stupid loud mouth spew garbage. Hubby can then watch his Sports programs sans NFL.
“Whistleblower” should be in quotes.
This source can’t be a whistleblower until he blows his whistle.
Hiding behind anonymity is the exact opposite of being a whistleblower.
The offer of answering written questions is an attempt to get information on the defensive plans. The questions need to be asked and answered publicly.
There were reportedly 17 people on this call, the “whistleblower” was not one of them... the transcript has been released... this entire thing is a SHAM...
I’ve been trying to get folks to understand, this thing has NOTHING to do with TRUMP... this is all INTERNAL DEMOCRAT POLITICS.
Honestly the Dems have claimed Trump has broken the law countless times, but somehow impeachment deserves to move forward, now? Over UKRAINE? For a call who’s transcript is public? Why? Why now? Why this?
Because this has NOTHING TO DO WITH TRUMP.
This is all about knee capping the far left wing of the party, by giving them what they want.
The dems have no shot at 2020 and the honest ones know this... In the past 120 years, only 4 Presidents who won their first terms at the ballot box, and ran for re-election failed to win... and only 1 president who has won his re-election bid during that time, that I know of, actually got FEWER VOTES FOR HIS RE-ELECTION THAN HIS ELECTION, and that was OBAMA! Of those 4 that lost re-election 3 lost purely due to the economy... So only 1 time in 120 years has a sitting President who won his first term and ran for re-election in a strong economy lost...
Impeachment will not remove Trump from office, while it is nice red meat for the far left rabid attack dogs, it motivates Trump’s base to DEFCON5 if not more, and angers the middle... Its a no win at the ballot box.... and its non starter. The investigation into Bill Clinton showed the sitting President LIED UNDER OATH, and RAPED A WOMAN, and DEFACED THE WHITE HOUSE.. and he was not removed from office... and the Republicans paid a high price for it politically... Dems KNOW they cannot win this... at least the honest ones do... So why are they doing it, and why do it over UKRAINE?
Simple, the target of this is to take out Biden, not Trump... why? Simple, this is a dead cycle for the D’s and they know it, they also know that if the far left whackadoo wing keeps growing in influence that the GOP will likely win in 2024 as well... They know the AOC’s et al are destroying their standing with the electorate... they know to win they have to keep the mask of being “moderate” even if they legislate left wing.
If the Democrats run a perceived “moderate” like a Biden and he loses, (which any democrat is going to this cycle) the radical left wing whackadoo wing will just scream “SEE, WE TOLD YOU, WE NEED TO GO FURTHER LEFT”... and will continue to gain influence and support in the party.
If however the nominee ends up being a left wing whackadoo and gets crushed, then that entire argument falls flat, and the party can moderate for the 2024 election when they will actually have a shot at the white house.
So, how do you ensure this? Why you take out Biden by making sure everyone knows about him and his kids and the swamp behavior... ensuring a left wing nutter gets the nomination, while at the same time alienating the middle and riling the incumbents base up to Defcon 5.
This joke of an impeachment accomplishes all of this.. because THIS is what it is ALL ABOUT.. it has NOTHING to do with TRUMP... This is all internal Democrat party politics being passed off as being about Trump.
Give the whackadoo leftists what the want, so you can knee cap them... classic rope a dope.
