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?"

BiXiden didn’t leave Schiff in his pants there at the now Marxist Vatican?

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.”

Yes, you could have. But you didn’t even bother to try.

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.
