Friday on MSNBC’s “The Beat,” House Intelligence Committee chairman Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) said Attorney General Bill Barr’s Justice Department doing President Donald Trump’s “dirty work” by dropping the case against former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn was an attempt to “gaslight history.”
(snip)
Schiff said, “Well, the usual response to so many events within the Trump administration, shock, being aghast, and yet not at all surprised because this is the history of this president and this attorney general who views his job as essentially carrying out the dirty work for the president. Let’s remember what was at stake here. The president of the United States, then Barack Obama, imposes sanctions on Russia for interfering in a U.S. election. One of the chief surrogates of Donald Trump, who the Russians have just helped get elected, has secret conversations with the Russians designed to undermine those sanctions. And then he lies about it. Lies about it to the vice president. The vice president goes out and misleads the country about it, and the FBI becomes concerned that Flynn is compromised because, of course, the Russians know that he’s lied. And those lies have now been amplified by the vice president’s statements. That is a prime counterterrorism risk and the subject of a more than valid counterintelligence investigation.”

You’re bang on. Schiff has immunity speaking on the floor of the House, not when he continues to spread those smears on MSNBC. Make him feel the pain and televise the deposition on Pay Per View.
I’m sorry but where is the DOJ’s indictment for treason?
When is someone going to END this guy’s career, permanently? (politically of course).
“The (satanic) Force is strong with this one.
Do you know how to tell Trump is a restrained and moral man? People like Schiff have not been “disappeared”. Contrast this with the Clintons.
Funny, no one has heard the transcript of that call,
Really? I must have missed the news. I didn’t know.
“ Were you just the DNC / Obama bagman?” Correction to Joe was the bagman and you a recipient of the largesse
If he said it on the floor of congress, he can’t be sued for slander. If he ran his mouth elsewhere, he can be.
Scott Adams said in his Periscope this morning that Schiff should get the death penalty for treason.
I never discussed in my post anything said on floor of House.
