Shortened title.

Full title: Judicial Watch Files Ethics Complaint Over Rep. Adam Schiff’s Contacts with Glenn Simpson and Michael Cohen

Judicial Watch announced today that it filed an official complaint with the Office of Congressional Ethics about Rep. Adam Schiff’s (D-CA) controversial communications and contacts with two congressional witnesses: Glenn Simpson of Fusion GPS and Michael Cohen, President Trump’s former personal lawyer.

The complaint asks that Rep. Schiff, who is the new chairman of the House Intelligence Community, be investigated in connection with recent revelations that he met with Simpson in Aspen, Colorado, in July 2018 and that he and his staff coordinated with Michael Cohen on Cohen’s recent testimony to congressional committees. Cohen’s testimony is alleged to be false in several important respects.

Judicial Watch filed an ethics complaint on April 13, 2018, against Rep. Schiff and Rep. Jackie Speier (D-CA) for improperly confirming classified information in violation of House rules but the Committee has yet to take any public action on the complaint.

Judicial Watch does the right thing.

***************

Yes, they make a valiant effort to do the right thing. But nothing will come of it. The corruption is vast and deep in DC.

There were FReepers defending the idea that it’s normal to meet with witnesses.

but, is 10 hours normal?

And how does that square with Schitt saying on the Sunday shows that they were in contact only to invite him to testify

It took Schitt 4 trips to NYC and 10 hours of meetings to extend an invitation?

In a world with real justice Schiff would be taken out back and shown a noose.

San Fran Nan will brush this off and do nothing. Now if the mass media was raising a fuss maybe she would have to do something or at least go through the motions. If Paul Traitor Ryan were the Speaker it would be no better

i recall Jim Jordan asking cohen if he had met, but not for how long. Don’t ask the question - you won’t get the answer.

Everything is set up nicely for the next Congress, assuming the RINOs can be goaded into actually doing something about this.

"Because they are corrupt??"

I think you made a mistake in your punctuation. The correct punctuation is a period. It should be, "Because they are corrupt." They have removed all doubt of it being a question.

Judicial Watch -- trying to do the work that WORTHLESS AMERICAN REPUBLICANS REFUSE TO DO!

I keep getting sham surveys from the Republican National Committee, asking me about how much I support President Trump's agenda. (and implying that they are doing a swell job furthering his cause -- BARF, RETCH!)

There's a scathing response in me that's dying to get out. And I think I'll add that the $ they're begging for will be sent to Judicial Watch, instead.

Where is minority leader Kevin McCarthy?
Where is he hiding?
He should be the one to refer the Muslim to the Ethics Committee.
The weak kneed GOP sister is a coward.

That’s the approach I’ve taken. No more of my $$ to any political candidate, until they show me some guts.
Free Republic, and Judicial Watch, are doing the heavy lifting.
