House Intelligence Committee chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif) has claimed "sovereign immunity" in his attempt to thwart public scrutiny of the Trump impeachment hearing transcripts and supporting documents that he has declared "must forever remain secret."

"The essence of effective government relies heavily upon our ability to conceal our methods from those without a 'need to know,'" Schiff argued. "Right now, China is overtaking us as the world's dominant power largely because of their ability to operate without fear of external scrutiny. If we hope to keep pace we must adapt similar methods. Outsiders like the execrable Judicial Watch, who seek to defame and undermine the government, should not be empowered to interfere."

In related news, the Democratic National Committee asked the U.S. District Court for Northern Illinois to dismiss Carter Page's lawsuit for defamation of character. "Mr. Page is such a minor figure is the flow of history that his reputation is of no significance," the Perkins-Coie motion asserted. "Weightier matters were at stake, namely whether the nation could be saved from the election of an unqualified outsider as the nation's president. Future heroic efforts like those of the Clinton campaign, David Steele, and Perkins Coie in 2016 must not be discouraged out of fear of having to pay monetary damages for actions taken in pursuit of their sincerely held political beliefs."

“The essence of effective government relies heavily upon our ability to conceal our methods from those without a ‘need to know,’” Schiff argued. ................Seems to me if there’s something funny going on here then most or all of our citizens have that need to know. Schiff isn’t fooling us for a minute.

“The essence of effective government relies heavily upon our ability to conceal our methods from those without a ‘need to know,’”
Schiff argued......."especially when Congress can increase our stock portfolios in secret."
