Seems Schiff himself has a few skeletons that should be looked into...

I was thinking the very same thing.IIRC there was a scene in The Godfather when Don Corleone,when discussing one of his rivals/enemies,suggested to Sonny that he might want to "check to see what dirt's under his fingernails".

[Truth29]

So Schiff is announcing a planetary wide investigation that will be used to harass and gum up the Administration and will never end. He might try looking at Mars next or maybe the entire solar system. The Left and the Uniparty are never going to stop short of a purge and a lot of disappearances.

[an amused spectator]

Right.

The only important thing is that the current piece of schitt gets the message, regardless of who said it. ;-)

[an amused spectator]

That would be a good look for schitt. :-)

[Redleg Duke]

I watched him last night when the President stated that an end to partisan investigations was needed. Schiff looked like he had just shat his undies!

[an amused spectator]

It was a lovely moment.

Wonder what he would schitt if a Deplorable Sergeant Donny Donowitz showed up at his door to get an "explanation" for his Nazi attitude?

[MHGinTN]

Democrats Schiffheads are sure to continue probing Trump In little Adam's case, 'probing' Trump is what the fairy dreams of ... think of how warped his district voters must be to keep sending that pedo-queer to Congress!

[unixfox]

You just know this guy is dirty. Wish someone could prove it.

Do what they do. Just make something up and say it's true. Sex is ALWAYS a good place to start.

“Odd, how they are totally disinterested in the Clintons’ finances...................”

The GOP had control of the House from January 2011 to December 2018. Plenty of time to investigate the Clinton finances. Plenty of time to investigate Eric Holder and Loretta Lynch politicizing the DOJ and FBI. Plenty of time to investigate just about anything. So how did that GOP oversight work out for eight years?

To the victor belongs the spoils.

This really pisses me off. Mueller has already wasted millions of our tax dollars chasing a ghost. Now schit for brains wants to do the same.

Not too much I can do about it personally but it does piss me off.

[Bratch]

Guess Schiff has no faith in the Mueller investigation.

No, it's all part of the plan.

Shiff Feeds the Resistance Sheeple – HPSCI Chairman Grandstands on Transcripts and Cohen…

Posted on February 6, 2019 by sundance

HPSCI Chairman Adam Schiff could never get away with the nonsense he promotes if it were not for an intentionally blind media apparatus. Here is his latest insufferable grandstanding:

 

You might remember back in September 2018, those HPSCI transcripts were already released by Devin Nunes, given to the Intelligence Community [See Here], the DOJ/FBI, and also to Robert Mueller. Of course, the media ignore the manufactured Schiff grandstanding and run with the ‘Muh Russia‘ narrative as if it’s something new.  Silly.

Additionally, Michael Cohen is/was scheduled to appear before the House Oversight Committee tomorrow (Chairman Elijah Cummings), and later to testify to the House Intelligence Committee (Chairman Adam Schiff).   Well, Schiff makes a big deal out of postponing/rescheduling Cohen until February 28th:

Via NBC – Testimony from Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump’s former personal lawyer and fixer, has been postponed to later this month, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., said Wednesday.

The testimony was supposed to take place on Friday, but Schiff said that “in the interests of the investigation” it will now take place on Feb. 28, days before Cohen is scheduled to report to federal prison.

Schiff did not elaborate on why the testimony was delayed. Cohen has been cooperating with special counsel Robert Mueller’s team as they investigate alleged Russian ties to the 2016 presidential election. (read more)

Here’s what appears to be going on…. Remember, Matt Whitaker is scheduled to testify before the House Judiciary Committee (Chairman Jerry Nadler) on Friday; and William Barr’s confirmation vote from the Senate Judiciary is on hold.  All of this stuff is connected.

Mueller is a player in all of this because he too has material Deep State risk. Speaker Pelosi, Adam Schiff (HPSCI), Elijah Cummings (House Oversight), and Jerry Nadler (House Judiciary) are working with Robert Mueller (team) and Rod Rosenstein (internal DOJ corrupt officials) on a tenuously constructed timeline.

Mueller, the political team not the individual, are providing their political allies with the ammunition toward their goal.  Mueller is both the shield and sword in the arsenal.  Mueller hiding, controlling and then shaping released aspects of the witness testimony that provide maximum political value, exhibit his team coordination.  Mueller will be handing of the primary job to the House trio once they have established a firm footing to structure the ‘impeachment narrative’.

When we approach the term “impeachment” we are not discussing it as the technical and legal approach for removal of a President; but rather the political use of the process to Alinsky (damage) President Donald Trump.

Professional political Democrats would not be using “impeachment” in the constitutional sense of the process (high crimes and misdemeanors); but rather weaponizing the process –as a tool itself– to: •target the executive office; •diminish the presidency (“isolate”/”marginalize”, Alinsky rules); •and position themselves for 2020.

Optics and innuendo are key elements, tools per se’, in the Alinsky narrative engineering process.  [Alinsky Rule #6 is Pelosi fueling the resistance base]  Pelosi, Schumer and the democrat machine are also focused on getting a raw Mueller report and not a version from AG Barr {explained here}.

The goal of innuendo and loosely connected circumstantial, mostly manufactured, evidence is what Pelosi, Cummings, Schiff and Nadler are working toward.  The timing is fluid, the sequence is not.  Their collective problem is Whitaker and Barr… so they have to delay their plans to see the risk from Whitaker and Barr.

Pelosi, Schumer and the Democrats do not want William Barr to be able to write a summary, a public statement, based on the report delivered to him by Robert Mueller.

Instead, the Democrats want the report from Mueller, including all the investigative trails that were exhausted, and -more importantly- the narrative they know Andrew Weissmann will weave into the report,… so they can exploit aspects of the Mueller inquiry that were not able to be proven, and weaponize “innuendo” and “possibility” for political benefit.

The sequence of Cohen, Mueller, then a blitzkrieg of subpoenas is dependent on isolating Whitaker and Barr so they cannot filter through the Weissmann Mueller report.

Thus we have delays to their plans.

Ignore him and the committee. Smash hard drives with a hammer, use bleachbit, if anything is under subpoena explain to them that you will go through everything and forward them anything relevant.

Use the exact verbiage of the Hillary organization.

[Syncro]

The foreign actor doing those things concerning Trump was hired by Hillary.
That’s the anewer for your committee so investigate her
And concerning financing its Hillary that sold Uranium to Russia
Get on it
Any more help you need just ask us

To the victor belongs the spoils.

Only if they are willing to use them.................The (R) Party is pathetically obtuse...............

[veracious]

Deep state beast, continues to attack the only man in position to destroy it. The beast is trillions of dollars strong and has deep knowledge of every real USAian.

[New Jersey Realist]

As the Supreme Court explained in Watkins v. United States, “there is no congressional power to expose for the sake of exposure.” Rather, if Congress wants to collect information from the executive branch or other outsiders, it must do so in connection with its legislative power. That is, a Congressional attempt to investigate an official or request information from him is valid only to the extent it serves proper legislative purposes.*** Congress cannot simply engage in “a fruitless investigation into the personal affairs of individuals.” Kilbourn v. Thompson, 103 U.S. 168, 195 (1880). Thus, for example, it seems unlikely that Congress could properly request the tax returns of all civil rights leaders solely for the purpose of harassing them, even if there were potential non-discriminatory reasons for making those requests.
