Adam Schiff has lost it. The Democratic Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee has surrendered any semblance of credibility. Be it through an unparalleled zeal to get the president, or a desperate attempt to remain relevant in a Democratic Party drowning in presidential hopefuls striving for some leftist utopia, Schiff has turned himself into a caricature. A poor man’s Joe McCarthy, convinced of some mythical threat, and willing to say, do, or fabricate any modicum of support for his delusions. This is where he needs some friends, loved ones, or a professional therapist to sit him down and calmly say, “Adam, you’re hurting those around you, and you need to stop.”
The power of the Congress to investigate and remove the president is the most awesome power the legislative body has, even more so than the power to declare war. The president has the authority to use military force absent congressional action, yet the Congress has the ability to overturn the American election and nullify the democratic process. That is not a power to be taken lightly, nor one that should be wielded by a man with less credibility than a fortune cookie.
It has been a rough year for poor Congressman Schiff. He confidently strutted around Washington, assuring anyone who would listen that he had evidence of President Trump’s collusion with Russia. Of course, he had none. A false assertion for which he has never been held to account, but his party, his committee, his country, are still holding the bag. In the process he became the poster boy for a witch hunt, the physical embodiment of a reckless crusade to oust a president. Still, did he take any pause? Any time for self-reflection? Perhaps to work on USMCA, prescription drug prices, or any of the myriad issues his salary pays for? Of course not. Instead he ran headfirst into another fantasy. And dragged the country along for the ride.
When Schiff’s dream of hanging an impeachment on non-existent Russian collusion evaporated, rather than take time to atone for his charade, he fabricated another one. He chose to champion the cause of a not quite “whistleblower”, a registered Democrat partisan, with a second, third, or fourth-hand account of an innocent phone call between the U.S. and Ukrainian presidents. How do we know it was innocent? Well, first there is the transcript of the call, completely devoid of illegality. Second, there is poor Adam Schiff’s deliberate, unabashed, falsifying of that very transcript from the House chamber, to the entire country. If Congressman Schiff had the incriminating evidence, would he not have used that, rather than resorting to pure fantasy disguised, after the fact, as parody? Instead he chose to damage his own dreams of impeachment because he had no one around to stop him. No one to save him from himself.
After Schiff was caught in the now famous YouTube video trying to obtain damaging material on President Trump from Ukraine, one would think he would at least try to be a little more cautious and circumspect when creating a scandal. But alas, such is not the case. It has now been reported, by multiple sources, that Schiff had, for over a month, knowledge of the alleged “whistleblower” and his unsubstantiated claims. In fact, his office was in direct contact with the “whistleblower”. Even more, Schiff actually helped the “whistleblower” obtain the attorney that drafted the complaint. Knowledge and facts he naturally withheld from his own committee. Does any of Schiff’s duplicity do him any favors in his quest for his white whale of impeachment? Of course not, that is precisely why he desperately needs someone to sit him down and help him with his self-destructive tendencies.
Now that the White House is compelling Speaker Pelosi and the rest of the House to actually vote on the ridiculous impeachment inquiry, the latest fantasy could very well whither and die. Failing that, congressional Republicans will receive subpoena power equal to that of the Democrats, which will ultimately decimate the House Democrats’ non-committal impeachment lark. In the worst case, or possibly best case, should the House actually muster the courage for an actual impeachment, an exonerating trial in the Senate would come almost immediately before the 2020 election. All of this is well and good for the president, but it doesn’t really do much for the ‘Schiff Problem’. He would still need somebody watching over him. A Jiminy Cricket of sorts. Someone to steer him away from his more insidious impulses.
It’s hard not feel bad for Adam Schiff. Like the middle reliever, called up from the minors in the middle of a pennant race. Asked to do too much. Trying to do too much. Not ready for the bright lights and tremendously susceptible to unforced errors. It’s time for his friends in Washington to give him an intervention.
Oh. He’s getting one. He will fade away. He’s gone too far.
Shitf s a lying fool.
Pretty much everyone agrees that Schiff’s actions are out of line.
So, why is he doing it?
A. He’s an idiot. Technically, he’s not. He can function normally in our society.
B. He’s a political hack. Even the Democrats think his actions are hurting the Party.
C. He’s an ideologue. He seems to be able to drop his ethics at will.
D. He’s getting paid to act like a shirthead. Bingo.
“A man with less credibility than a fortune cookie.”
What a BRILLIANT description of Schiff! Actually made me lol!
It’s a competitive world out there.
Think about the people you know.
Would some of them work for foreign powers for some good money?
Of course they would.
Everyone wants fancy cars and condos in Kauai.
The world learned from The Soviet Union’s mistake.
They tried to militarily defeat us.
They ended up on the scrap heap of history.
If you want to hurt the United States, you just bribe some Democrat politicians.
WAY cheaper and more effective.
And the way for us to protect from this kind of attack is to hang the Democrat politicians that are being bribed.
It sends the appropriate message.
Adam Schiff needs a good old fashioned ass whoopin!
Just read that Schiff used Daniel Goldman, a former legal analyst for MSNBC to question Volker behind closed doors.
My view is that anyone attacking Trump in this way is desperately trying to keep the truth from being uncovered.
They know Trump better than we do in this respect regayof how dumb they are. Trump is honest, has nothing to hide so much so that they cannot even frame him.
They have no other resources with which to deal with him or take him out.
Schiff is terrified.
I suggest we get used to winning. It’ll be weird like detoxing
He’s a typical Democrat who abuses the power of his position, because he knows while his party is in power in the House, nothing will happen to him.
I can’t say what Schiff Head deserves. I’d get banned.
Bottom Line: Democrat, Adam Schiff is raving, rating, lie telling, lunatic, madman. And....Democrat Leader, Nancy Pelosi is lost at sea without a paddle and dumb as dumb can be!!! Sanders is gone, Biden is gone, Harris is gone warren is gone, booker is gone Castro is gone, O’rourke is gone, Buttigieg is gone...all that is left is Hillary Clinton!!!
Why aren’t democrats demanding Adam Schiff step down? Are they afraid of him and his commie/goon thugs in ‘intelligence’?
The Democratic party and chairman of the House Intelligence Committee has surrendered any semblance of credibility.
Old news never changes
My Grand Father told me “Never try to analyze insanity.”
“Surrendered any semblance of credibility?” Hell. Surrendered any semblance of sanity.
The ONLY thing that schittless Schiff needs is a Frontal Lobotomy!!!!!
Well, he’s what passes for “intelligent” in DemoWorld. Who would be better for their side? Nadler? The Dems with their ultra-seniority system saddles them with a lot of old incompetents with sclerosis of the brain and used to getting what they want in the chairmanships.
