Joining The View as a guest host on Tuesday, former State Department Spokeswoman Morgan Ortagus confronted Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) over his actions to further the lies contained in the Steele Dossier and he didn't do well trying to explain why his advancement of Russian disinformation is different from what he accuses others of doing.
"You've been really prolific over the past few years being the head of the Intel Committee," Ortagus noted, "and you defended, promoted, you even read into the Congressional Record the Steele Dossier — and we know last week the main source of the dossier was indicted by the FBI for lying about most of the key claims in that dossier."
Due to the recent revelations that confirmed what most already thought about the origins and credibility of the dossier, Ortagus asked Schiff: "Do you have any reflections on your role in promoting this to the American people?"

As the Worm Turns
Schiff does a very good impersonation of, “pond scum”.

Think hes flustered now,....

I thought that was the last we’d see of him.
“We couldn’t have known for example people were lying to Cristopher Steele so it was proper to investigate them.”

Trump should sue Hillary.
>>>Schiff does a very good impersonation of, “pond scum”.<<<
And what, pray tell, has “pond scum” ever done to deserve such an undeserved comparison?

“ Can that Schiff prove he wasn’t an architect or at least a minion?”
He was in it up to his eyeballs, of course. He knew it was all BS but he acted as of it were true. Schiff is the worst kind of liar.

They could try hanging Schiff but his neck would snap clean in two and his body would fall to the floor and flop around while he craps himself.
Personally I think Public Officials that LIE to the Public belong in JAIL and should also be civilly liable for any Injury or Loss to ANY Citizen as a result of thier LYING to the Public
Squirmy Wormy
WATCH? Watch what? I hate clickbaits.
What do you think that would cost on PPV?
Well, I’ve had it between my toes, so it does rank down there.
Smile...
I would not let Adam Schiff anywhere near little boys.
