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

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.

Schiff’s little parody routine was simply unbelievable. I don’t even think this farce is going to last 2 wks.

I think you're wrong. They will vote impeachment articles before Thanksgiving based on this.

Schiff’s ‘parody’ was his way of saying “you think I’m crazy? I’ll show you crazy!” and was basically saying “F U America, we are taking over here. We know what’s good for you (our party) and since you don’t have the brains to see and accept our reverse psychological misintelligence, we will now show you who is really in charge”. This is looking SO ugly. Lord help us.
