Schiff: 'We couldn't have known' about lies behind Steele dossier
Fox News ^ | Nov 10, 2021 | Tyler O'Neil

Posted on 11/11/2021 5:22:05 AM PST by where's_the_Outrage?

Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., chair of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, defended his longtime promotion of the now-discredited Steele dossier by claiming that his team "couldn't have known" that Igor Danchenko, the Russian analyst believed to have been the dossier's sub-source, had allegedly lied to former British spy Christopher Steele.

"Well, first of all, whoever lied to the FBI or lied to Christopher Steele should be prosecuted, and they are," Schiff said on "The View" Tuesday.

"But at the beginning of the Russia investigation, I said that any allegations should be investigated," he continued. "We couldn't have known, for example, people were lying to Christopher Steele.".....

Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper had told Schiff and his colleagues, "I never saw any direct empirical evidence that the Trump campaign or someone in it was plotting/conspiring with the Russians to meddle with the election."

Why is this treasonous coup instigator still alive?

As an enemy of the Republic who continues to plot he should be dead

Right? Before moving forward accusing someone of serious crimes, it is your DUTY to verify that which you are accusing someone of. Freakin weasel.

There are eight vids of Schiffty stating categorically that he had irrefutable proof that President Trump was involved in collusion. Then, under oath, he denied he had any proof. Pathetic individual in the Congress, he should be removed, now.

As per usual, a Democrat politician claims stupidity when caught in a crime.

Schiff is just a meat puppet for Beelzebub. He’d be wise to get fitted for an asbestos suit.

They all lied.

They all knew it was a bogus dossier full of democrat fantasies.

They did not care one whit because they knew there would be absolutely no repercussions for them if they ever got caught!.................

Schiff was informed about the Lies and Scam on DAY ONE. Don’t think for one second that he and Pelosi were not involved from the beginning, they were and they both belong in PRISON

Schiff is confirming here that Durham is a DOJ clean up operation and no more.
