Schiff on CNN, asked about the recent criticism of scope creep by Federal judge. Is that judge wrong? Schiff thinks Mueller is well in his scope, and any case that arises will be prosecuted either by Mueller or somebody else, and the Manafort case is squarely in that. Why them did Mueller bring cases against Manafort in two different venues? Schiff says bifurcating doesn't make sense. facts say the case is already bifurcated.

Tapper says why not refer the Manafort case like you did the Cohen case. Doesn't it concern you that a judge thinks Mueller is just out to get Trump? Yes, that seems to question the motives of SC.

Schiff thinks Mueller will prevail, this case will be tried by Mueller.

Next Q is on Mueller subpoena Trump. Is there a circumstance where Trump could dodge a subpoena? Schiff says there is no way to dodge a subpoena.

Wants to know if there is a legal issue on the payment to Cohen. Schiff says of course, it shows that Trump has no credibility. This is corrosive of our democracy in addition to putting Trump in legal jeopardy. Tapper points out that it is legal to lie to the public, and pulls up the legal issue with campaign finance, asks Schiff to spell out the legal jeopardy. Telling false statements about this is consciousness of guilt, which means he is has consciousness of guilt of campaign finance.

No questions on evidence of Russian collusion. Huh.

The big hope for Democrats is to continue promoting Trump hate to offset Trump’s accomplishments. The DNC has little money since it went off the boards far left. They are placing all their chips on Mueller and Stormy to keep the base excited for mid-terms. Anderson Cooper and the DNC cheerleaders at CNN, must rely on useful idiots like Schiff to continue the so called witch hunt. The investigation will be orchestrated and timed perfectly for the mid-terms. A new
Supreme Court appointment will be halted if they are successful. Impeachment will be their #1 priority.

Bull$h1t, Adam $h1t!!!

The FBI had PREVIOUSLY looked at Manafort’s dealings—before the Trump Campaign—and decided it wasn’t worth prosecuting. SO, having the closed case file brought back to life was Mueller et Al’s attempt to squeeze the life out of Manafort for testimony against Pres. Trump.

Nobody cared about what Manafort had done/not done UNTIL the Mueller “Get Trump” Special Counsel Witch Hunt, as Judge Ellis duly noted.
