Adam Schiff’s Dirty Impeachment Tactics Coming to Light
American Thinker.com ^ | April 20, 2020 | Robyn Dolgin

Posted on 04/20/2020 5:52:49 AM PDT by Kaslin

Rep. Adam Schiff spent months launching secret impeachment hearings, never thinking his conduct would be called into question.

He is now caught in the crosshairs of a formidable government agent, Mr. Brendan Carr, Federal Communication Commissioner. The impeachment may be over, but Mr. Carr is formally investigating Rep. Schiff for violating privacy laws -- more like obliterating ethical boundaries -- by setting up his own surveillance state to target the president’s allies.

Carr is currently uncovering the diabolical nature of the congressman’s “surveillance state.” At the time, Schiff resorted to such desperate measures because he didn’t have much of an impeachment case: Therefore, he issued secret subpoenas to phone carriers hoping to mine the private data of his political opponents, or in effect ransacking their private lives.

The objective was to obtain and publish the calls of Trump’s allies.

Much to his delight, Schiff’s subpoenas to the phone carriers resulted in their turning over nearly 4,000 pages of confidential records, in the process violating their customers’ rights to data privacy.

None of this has escaped the notice of the top gun at the FCC. Carr is proposing a $200 million fine against the phone carriers for failing to protect their customers who have a legitimate expectation of privacy.

The FCC commissioner, in reviewing the nearly 4,000 pages, had a very pointed question to ask as part of his investigative letter to the House Intelligence Committee (where Schiff serves as chairman). “Is Rep. Schiff continuing to issue secret subpoenas?” That translates to mean: Does the congressman plan to continue to run roughshod over the private lives of political opponents while employing abusive impeachment tactics?

Before the FCC stepped in, Schiff had already performed much of his cloak-and-dagger work targeting some of the president’s most ardent supporters.

Is a ranking Congressman breaking the law?
Is he personally subject to L/E for violating the civil rights of US citizens:
(A) for acting outside the discretion of his elected office,
(B) for suborning his security privileges, as head of the US Congress' Intel Committee.

TALKING POINTS Adam Schiff heads the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. He has access to the government’s most highly classified information about threats to Americans safety and security.

Schiff oversees all or part of the following executive branch departments and agencies:
-Office of the Director of National Intelligence -Central Intelligence Agency -Defense Intelligence Agency -Department of Defense
-Department of Energy -Department of Homeland Security -Department of Justice
-Department of State -Department of Treasury Drug Enforcement Administration
-Federal Bureau of Investigation -National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency -National Reconnaissance Office -National Security Agency
-Office of Naval Intelligence -Air Force Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Agency -United States Army Intelligence and Security Command
-United States Coast Guard Intelligence -Marine Corps Intelligence Activity

Did Schiff ever notify the principles of these agencies
<><> that he needed to violate the civil rights of US citizens;
<><> that he was getting ready to act outside the discretion of his elected office;
<><> that he was using his security clearances to gain information from publicly-held companies?

Easy, permanent, but what about LEGAL? Unless he crosses the Clinton Crime Family, I don’t think he’s a Fort Marcy park candidate.

Yeah, imagine living in this guy’s district and watching him win in landslides - repeatedly - and know there is nothing you can do about it. (except move out).

Instead of fining the companies involved, how about a RICO suit against the entire Democrat Party? Discovery would be a blast.

To who’s light? Certainly not the media bringing this to the attention of their viewers. If they were to report it at all, it would be a negative story against the investigator and portraying Schiff as the victim.

The FCC Commissioner.....as well as Americans subscribing to publicly-held phone carriers.....demand to know:
<><> Is Rep Schiff continuing to issue secret subpoenas to publicly-held phone companies?
<><> Does Schiff plan to collude with other publicly-held companies for political purposes?
<><> Does Schiff plan to continue to invade the private lives of political opponents?
<><> Does Schiff plan to overreach his security clearances?
<><> Does Schiff plan to employ other abusive tactics to forward his agenda?

=======================================

Security clearances fall in several categories: confidential, secret, top secret and sensitive compartmented information.

Confidential----This type of security clearance provides access to information that may cause damage to national security if disclosed without authorization. ...

<><> Members of Mr Schiff's House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence – the committee with oversight over intelligence agencies including the CIA and NSA – have a separate oath, commensurate with their unique access to sensitive information.

<><> All House members, beginning with the 104th Congress, have to take a secrecy oath.

It’s not Godwin’s Law; it’s the principle that if “we were just following orders” is invalid, it also means you should go after those issuing the orders.
And I used Hitler because EVERYBODY agrees, he’s a Bad Guy™.

:: There is no valid comparison between Schiff and Hitler. ::

Dude!
Really?
You’ll defend the actions of Hitler over Schiff to win “points” in an on-line argument?
O, kaaaaaay, then.

Hey Grey ql’buddy, call Schiff “Eichmann” and Ed Buck “Hitler”.
They have the dead bodies to prove it.

This was a crime. Pure and simple. Schitt hides behind his position. Just like he took testimony from IG and refused to release the information. why is this allowed. They claimed he classified the testimony. Well it regards the POTUS and he can Declass anything. When will anyone stand up to this A$$Hat?

"Perhaps Richard Stengel, the former editor of Time magazine, has the distinction of concocting the most hyperbolic praise for the congressman. “When we get back to teaching civics in this country -- as we must do -- Adam Schiff’s sweeping, beautifully-wrought opening argument, should be on the syllabus.”"

If I ever have the need to barf up old rotten food in my body ............ I will read this sh*t.

You're right. Hanging is too good for him.

Heard it—it was a well crafted speech. Give him credit but it was based on a false premise . Hitlers “Two Minutes to Midnight” speech was also great but I would never suggest we study it. Worry not Schiff will have another shot when Trump is impeached a 2nd time in September. All to put a Democrat Traitor in Power to loot the treasury.

I hear you.

My wife and I and the dogs may not be here when that crazy repetitive sh*t happens.

We've saved more than enough to go to our home in the woods. Everything is cool up there .... lots of MAGA hats and blue '67 GTO's.

All you guys can deal with this bureaucratic crap.

Very little media for us up there with the trees ......... Hope it's not because of the upcoming EMP.

lol
