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

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.

I can not argue the point with certainty, but believe a congressman acting as a congressman is in fact untouchable

Article. I.

Section. 6.

Clause 1: The Senators and Representatives shall receive a Compensation for their Services, to be ascertained by Law, and paid out of the Treasury of the United States. (See Note 6) They shall in all Cases, except Treason, Felony and Breach of the Peace, be privileged from Arrest during their Attendance at the Session of their respective Houses, and in going to and returning from the same; and for any Speech or Debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other Place.

We may not have seen such repercussions before, but I'm sure every Democrat in both houses of Congress are committing felonies on a regular basis, and are subject to the same treatment of felonious behavior as you would be.

As such, they are susceptible to having their worthless criminal butts dragged right off the House floor in the middle of one of their drooling mental escapades, and tossed into a dungeon infested with (other) slimy rats.

When people pretend the Congressional Slimeballs are above the law, they just keep pretending the same. Not so.

Schiff was out to (A) "get Trump" and (B) bloat his own puny credentials for a better office (where the real money is).

Easy to figure out----if sap-happy Nancy managed to ditch both Trump and Pence, she'd become (gag) president.

The ever-helpful Schiff was ensured of a top spot.

Schiff had literally no impeachment case, so he decided to create a "surveillance state" apparat...like they do in the Third World.

He issued secret subpoenas to publicly-held phone companies for private data on Trump's political opponents....

In effect, like a tinpot dictator, Schiff ransacked the private lives of innocent people.

Much to his delight, Schiff’s subpoenas resulted in getting his filthy hands on over 4,000 pages of confidential phone records,
irregardless of violating phone carrier customers’ rights to data privacy.

Schiff's objective was to obtain innocent conversations calls of Trump’s allies, sensationalize them, and publish them.

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

Trump should have been lone gone by now....none of this was intended to see the light of day.

Now FCC Top Gun, Commissioner Carr, is looking at the damage wrought. He's proposing a $200 million fine against phone carriers
for failing to protect their customers who have a legitimate expectation of privacy.

That's just for starters.
