Jason Chaffetz: Rep. Adam Schiff has proven he can’t be trusted – Shouldn’t be Intel Committee chair
Fox News ^ | September 26, 2019 | Jason Chaffetz

Posted on 09/26/2019 8:53:10 AM PDT by jazusamo

Once again, the rhetoric from House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., has been discredited by facts. With the release of the rough transcript of the July 25 call between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and President Trump, Schiff's prediction that it would show Trump had "crossed the Rubicon" has failed to materialize.

There was no quid pro quo – no "browbeating" of a foreign leader. Just two heads of state talking about Ukraine's role in 2016 U.S. election interference and discussing getting to the bottom of the corruption that has spilled over between the two countries.

With his history of deliberately distorting the truth, secretly disclosing classified information, and openly converting the House Intelligence Committee into a partisan opposition research operation, Schiff has repeatedly proven he cannot be trusted.

It's no surprise that the Trump administration initially balked at turning over sensitive information to a congressional committee led by Schiff, as it did last week. Schiff has shown himself to be a fierce partisan with little commitment to truth or discretion.

If House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., wants to restore trust in the important Intelligence Committee, she should replace Schiff with a more trustworthy, less partisan chairman. No one who is aware of Schiff's history would want to entrust him with sensitive information.

At this point, I'm not sure Schiff could even pass the background check to receive a security clearance if he didn't already have one.

Some disqualifying factors for a person seeking a security clearance include behaviors that Schiff has routinely engaged in. His pattern of dishonesty, a history of noncompliance with security issues, and deliberate unauthorized disclosures are easily proven.

Here is a solution: The Republicans should contact each of the 30 or so Democrats from districts Trump carried by wide margins. They should say, “You will lose your seat because of what Nancy Pelosi is doing to you. We intend to bring a privileged resolution to the floor of the House to remove Nancy Pelosi as the speaker of the House. If you vote for that resolution and it passes, we will run a Republican for that seat. If you vote for him and he becomes the new Speaker of the House, he will include you as part of the ‘Coalition’. That Coalition will end the gridlock in the House. You will be allowed to submit and to have votes on bills that might help you in the 2020 elections.”

Schiff calls for whistleblowers to come forward. I say, let them come - from his staff.

These people are desperate.

“This is such a grevious violation of trust between the Intelligence Community and the White House that it would not surprise me if #IC officers are barred from all access to POTUS phone calls with foreign officials...”
-Fred Fleitz, former #CIA analyst who transcribed many foreign phone calls, re. #Ukraine details just released from “whistleblower”

“Schiff’s little parody routine was simply unbelievable.

I don’t even think this farce is going to last 2 wks.”

Didn’t give it two days but no one is buying it except the Rat lovers.
Somehow they all want to believe Americans will be fooled with Russia Collusion Hoax 2.

They really need to bring back dueling. There needs to be real consequences for lying and slander like this.

“...He should be impeached.”

IMHO, based on the evidence, SCHIFF should lose his SECURITY CLEARANCE.

Bye-bye, “Intelligence Committee” and all the preening pomposity that goes along with that.

A new job at CNN would allow him to exercise his talent for lying — but (sadly) with fewer “emoluments” from the Russians...

Every politician from the Republic of California should lose their standing. Simply due to electioneering and loss of control of state citizenship. Their standing can be reinstated when elections and citizenship issues have been investigated and certified. They are almost all acting as agents of foriegn governments. The laws they promote give more to foriegn non citizens.
