In fact, IIRC, all he said was basically that he saw nothing that would require Nunes to brief the President before he briefed the members of the committee.
As was said by some here last night, "If the facts are on your side, you fight with facts. If the facts aren't on your side, you argue process issues." Following the few but important cues that are available right now from Schiff, it's clear the facts ain't on his side.....
Shifty Schiff said that the rest of the Intel cmte needs to see the documents after he saw what Nunes saw at the WH. That was the only access point like the story describes and Trump staffers ousted by the NYT are not the source whistleblower but rather the guys who got him I. The room.
My question is this Gang Of 8, of House and Senate have the classified authorization level to see this stuff which Nunes and Sciff belong. Does the rest of the Nunes cmte have that clearance? Schiff might be saying let the cmte see this when he knows they cannot. Then he will drone on and on about not forthcoming blah blah.
The public needs to see this and soon as Nunes takes a credibility hit everyday the truth is bottled up. Or do they call Clapper, Brennon, Lynch, Comey, Rice, and Jarret and then nail them on our jury. HS to be closed door, as they can lie and say nothing hpoened in public hearing s public is not authorized to know bout this stuff. Kind of a Catch-22.
Prior to viewing the evidence on Thursday, IRRC, Schiff was all arrogance and bluster. Shortly after seeing it he was stopped by a reporter, and he looked sheepish and had nothing to say.
all he said was basically that he saw nothing that would require Nunes to brief the President before he briefed the members of the committee.
Weasel word lawyer speak... He didn’t say “ nothing the committee or the president should have been briefed on” which has a whole different meaning.
Also, he has already started his CYA by saying “ who knows if this hasn’t been altered” before the committees see it....
They always have a “ yeah but” to cover their butts
It was thought we have heard something from Schiff. This afternoon it was reported he had seen NOTHING which would warrant his changing of the mind (nothing seen to connect the dots) Is he admitting he’s not up to snuff; not as above board as Nunes and he refuses to admit that he knows something more than he held earlier? Nothing but lies to cover the dark won’s butt.
Time for pitchforks, rope and torches. Time to clean house and stable.
