Book reveals secret meeting between Adam Schiff's aides and Ukraine whistleblower attorney
washingtonexaminer.com ^ | 9/30/2022 | DAVID M. DRUCKER

Claims by Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) that he had no contact with the intelligence community whistleblower at the center of the first impeachment of then-President Donald Trump are disputed in a new book.

In Unchecked: The Untold Story Behind Congress’s Botched Impeachments of Donald Trump, authors Rachael Bade and Karoun Demirjian reveal a meeting between the whistleblower’s attorney, Andrew Bakaj, and lawyers working for the House Select Committee on Intelligence. This occurred in the run-up to the fall 2019 launch of an impeachment inquiry into Trump over allegations he demanded Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to initiate corruption investigations into now-President Joe Biden in exchange for U.S. military aid already promised to Kyiv.

Schiff was, and is, the chairman of the House Select Committee on Intelligence. Lawyers working for the committee who met with Bakaj, the attorney representing the person who filed a whistleblower complaint with the intelligence community inspector general detailing Trump's demands (made during a July 25, 2019, telephone conversation with Zelensky), reported directly to Schiff.

Yeah. I’ll just play it safe and expect that anything Schiff says is a big fat lie.

Even worse... I can’t remember the guys name but he was there behind them all during the whole thing. They even let him sit where lawmakers were sitting during the hearings and the trial in the Senae. I pointed it out here at the time. But he was on the front page of the WEF website at that time.

I will try to remember...

The corruption runs so deep and thick that I can’t even remember the details of these machinations. Obama’s State Dept was running the Ukraine money grab, no? Biden was up to his ears in it along with McCain and some Dems? And Trump tried to put a stop to it?

Everything that’s happening has only one purpose: to confuse Jane and Joe Public so they’ll conclude “where there’s smoke there must be fire” and Trump must be dirty.

We know all of this. The DoJ IG was shifted to the Intel Community to set up new whistleblower rules and protect their identity. Someone from the IC blew Eric Ciarmella's cover as the whistleblower while Repubs silently let Prez Trump lose all of his constitutional rights and human rights protections.

The Ukrainian Ambassador (whose name escapes me and Ric Grenell called the most vicious ambitious woman in DC) completely prostituted her integrity to try to get Trump impeached for doing what Biden actually did. We now know why: Ukraine was then, and still is, the superhighway of corruption and kickbacks enriching everyone at the expense of the American taxpayer! Ptoooie!

here's an excerpt from the piece for discussion.

remember, there are no conincidences.

"In late July, a CIA official who had previously been detailed to the White House approached an old colleague of his, who was working as a lawyer for Adam Schiff on the House Intelligence Committee. Because they were off-campus, their meeting had the air of a social visit, but the CIA official had very serious matters of state on his mind. He was worried that Trump — along with [former New York Mayor Rudy] Giuliani — had tried to solicit election interference from the president of Ukraine during a phone call that had taken place just days before.

“The official had not listened to the call himself but had heard enough alarming details from others to feel compelled to do somethingWithout sharing those details, he asked Schiff’s lawyer for advice on what he should do."

Don’t leave Ms. Linda Grahamnesty off that list. The little McCainiac min-me has dirty dick-beaters and should spend some time in Leavenworth.

What Shiff said wasn’t a lie. He didn’t meet with them. Lawyers working for him met with them. If no one asks the right questions you just give him a way to wiggle out of things.
