Schiff: An Abundance Of Evidence Of Collusion With Russia, Trump Trying To "Rewrite History"

RCP video ^ | 5-12-2020 | Ian Schwartz

[Sir Napsalot]

Adam Schiff said there is an abundance of evidence that the Trump campaign colluded with the Russians to win the 2016 presidential election. In an interview with MSNBC's Kasie Hunt and Sunday, Schiff said Trump's "attempt to rewrite history is a full-scale assault on the rule of law."

"Don Jr. accepted, he set up a secret meeting at the Trump Tower to get the dirt," Schiff said. "The president's son-in-law was there, the campaign chairman was there. And what's more, the campaign chairman in a different vignette gave internal polling data to someone linked to Russian intelligence. You had other people like Roger Stone in touch with the Russian cut-out that was publishing the stolen Hillary Clinton material through WikiLeaks."

"All of this is abundance evidence of collusion," Schiff declared. "But this is their attempt to gaslight America, and once again saying you can't believe your eyes, you can't believe what's written in the transcripts. You have to, you know, accept our counter-narrative of things. But the evidence is there for all to see."

That would be true as you said in the normal world, but the media has sided with the crazy people. Truth doesn’t seem matter anymore.

[Flavious_Maximus]

So Adam Schit is complaining about Don Jr taking calls from Russian agents with dirt on Clinton, while at the same time Schiff took calls from Russians claiming to have dirt on Trump.

So who is colluding with Russians? It sure ain’t Trump.

[Professional]

No kidding.

I keep waiting for the day we go on offense. Of course, that has been decades now of waiting.

The Swamp is winning, in fact, running the tables.

[robel]

What else ya got?

Adam Schiff speaks

We hates it the Trump. He sole it my election to the Sauron Hillary. He colluded it he did. We must stop it the Trump.

[KC_Conspirator]

They believe their own lies.

[rlmorel]

This is his only option, and with the help of a compliant media, he probably thinks it will work...and with good reason.

However, to anyone who has taken the time to look at the unsealed documents from the House Intelligence Committee hearings, what stands out is the the ENORMOUS gulf between what these people said on the television screens of the nation, and what they said when they were forced to raise their hands and swear an oath to truth behind the closed hearing doors.

(NOTE: I know this is long, especially her testimony, but having taken the time to read it, Trey Gowdy just beats down on her again, and again, and again, until at the end, she just cracks. It is worth reading this excerpt of the official transcript, which is why I provided it.)

Case in point: Evelyn Farkas. She was on television back in March of 2017 telling people across the nation on MSNBC that what she and her comrades knew out of the public eye was damning to Trump, and that they needed to take measures to ensure that it wasn't "lost" to the investigators who were surely going to need that in the future prosecutions of the Trump Administration.

Of important note, was her reference to human intelligence data gathering (spies) and FISA surveillances, although she couched her statement as follows:

---

FARKAS ON MSNBC MAY 2, 2017 (rom Fox News): “...I was urging my former colleagues and, frankly speaking, the people on the Hill, it was more actually aimed at telling the Hill people, get as much information as you can, get as much intelligence as you can, before President Obama leaves the administration,” Farkas, who is now a senior fellow at the Atlantic Council, said.

“Because I had a fear that somehow that information would disappear with the senior [Obama] people who left, so it would be hidden away in the bureaucracy ... that the Trump folks – if they found out how we knew what we knew about their ... the Trump staff dealing with Russians – that they would try to compromise those sources and methods, meaning we no longer have access to that intelligence.”

The comments come as lawmakers on Capitol Hill clash over House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes' claim last week that surveillance operations incidentally collected Trump team communications during the transition. Critics have accused Nunes of carrying water for Trump and called on him to recuse himself from Russia matters, but Nunes and his congressional allies have pushed back.

Aside from questions over whether communications were improperly gathered during the transition and before, there is speculation over how widely such information was disseminated. Farkas described a rush to spread the material before Trump took office.

"So I became very worried because not enough was coming out into the open and I knew that there was more. We have very good intelligence on Russia," she said. "So then I had talked to some of my former colleagues and I knew that they were trying to also help get information to the Hill..."

Wow! She talks about "compromising sources" and "we had very good intelligence on Russia". Pretty damning.

Then...HERE IS WHAT SHE HAD TO SAY UNDER OATH:

---

FARKAS UNDER OATH FROM CONGRESSIONAL HEARING TRANSCRIPTS):

MR. GOWDY: All right. So if you had to do this interview all over again, you would say, I know nothing other than what your viewers are reading in the paper and watching on television, and I have no evidence that the Trump campaign colluded, conspired, or coordinated with the Russians?

MS. FARKAS: Correct.

MR. GOWDY: That's what you would say if you were being interviewed now?

MS. FARKAS: Yeah,

MR. GOWDY: All right. So why did you then say they would try to compromise those sources and methods? Who is, they? Who --

MS. FARKAS: My fear was that .. that if, indeed, it was true that someone or some persons on the Trump campaign were colluding, wittingly or unwittingly, with the Russians that they might, once in office, not voluntarily or somehow not transfer all the information --

MR. GOWDY: And my question is, who is he?

MS. FARKAS: - or intelligence to the Hill. They being these people who had worked on the Trump campaign, who presumably, might be going into --

MR. GOWDY: Who in particular were you worried --

MS. FARKAS: I had no particular people in mind except for who -- the people in the media, potentially, but I didn't at that point know who would go into the Trump White House, I don't believe.

MR. GOWDY: Compromising sources or methods is a pretty specific allegation.

MS. FARKAS: I was not alleging that anyone had done it.

MR. GOWDY: No. No. No. You were alleging that they were going to do it or might try to do it.

MS. FARKAS: I was alleging there was a possibility that they might try.

MR. GOWDY: And my question is who. Who in the Trump campaign were you worried would do that?

MS. FARKAS: Anyone who might have colluded, wittingly or unwittingly, with the Russians.

MR. GOWDY: As we sit here today, do you have any evidence of collusion, coordination, or conspiracy between the Trump campaign and the Russians?

MS. FARK1AS: Nothing outside of what's been reported in the press.

MR. GOWDY: All right. We have very good intelligence on Russia, so then I had talked to some of my former colleagues, and I knew they were trying to get information to the Hill. That's why you have the leaking. What's the, that's?

MS. FARKAS: Because earlier in the segment there was a discussion about why there's leaking and about leaking, and stupidly, I decided at the end of that segment to throw in that phrase, and then they cut me off, as I said before. So I shouldn't have gone back to that earlier conversation, especially because I ended up getting cut off, so I was unable to complete my thought, which would include -- would have included, I don't condone it.

MR. GOWDY: Well I'm not interested whether you condone it or not. I'm interested in whether or not you know where it's coming from, that's why you have the leaking. Where is it coming from?

FARKAS: I don't know.

MR. GOWDY: Do you think it was coming from the Hill?

MS. FARKAS: I don't know.

MR. GOWDY: The earlier conversation, I don't remember who whose leaking we were talking about. Trey, we have 5 minutes on our side

MR. ROONEY: When you say based on what Trey was just saying, they were try to compromise sources and methods, and I got your answer there, and you became worried because you said that the - that you knew that there was more. What was the more? That you knew that you there was more.

MS. FARKAS: I didn't know what it was, but I had a feeling based on what I knew about Russia, based on the fact that there were allthese reports in the press that weren't giving us the full picture. They were raising more questions -

MR. GOWDY: So when you say, knew, what you really meant was felt?

MS. FARKAS: Correct.

MR. GOWDY: You didn't know anything?

MS. FARKAS: That's correct

[NormsRevenge]

The Head Weasel of Impeachment.. Some title.

He should go cry on Ed Buck’s shoulder if he wants sympathy for being ‘unmasked’ for the fool he is.

[scott says]

Time to get real...this clown needs a straitjacket and a comfy padded cell. Massive anti psychotic meds and endless therapy just for laughs.

[Manic_Episode]

I wish very poor things for Mr Schiff.

VERY poor. Very very extra mfing poor.

[BigEdLB]

MANIC EPISODE....Why do you hate me? I am a Congressman.

[hirn_man]

OMG they gave INTERNAL POLLING DATA!!! to a Russian.

Funny, I didn’t know that there was anything wrong with sharing non classified data you gathered yourself with someone else.

Let’s start the treason trials next week. /sarc

[Oldeconomybuyer]

I don’t know how this POS looks at himself in a mirror.

[Professional]

Didn’t know anything....

Yup, years of this crap. Good Lord please let us fight back.

[Sir Napsalot]

Nothing comes off Gowdy, and nothing will come to Farkas.

On the Left, Farkas is now ready to be rewarded.

[Rdct29]

Bug eyed creep Adam Schitt is hoping voters are as stupid as the morons who elect a molester like him. The entire democrat party is hoping all voters are too stupid to see the truth about their blatant lies and corruption throughout the last 11 years.

[1Old Pro]

yep just terrible.

[Maris Crane]

Albert’s definition of insanity.

[higgmeister]

Congressman Schiff just ignore your Democrat party collision with Russia for the past one hundred plus years. Yours is the party of communism and Secularism.

[rlmorel]

Well, Rush Limbaugh didn’t label them the Drive By Media for nothing.

They have no shame. If I were Evelyn Farkas and that came to light that I just outright lied, and it was publicly revealed, I would be pretty abashed about that.

But not her and people like her. It is as if yesterday simply never happened, and in concert with a complicit media, that is indeed her reality.

Fortunately, the door doesn’t shut there anymore like it used to for us. We now have the Internet, so even if nothing like that ever sees the public light for more than a second, as if it appeared on page 16 of the New York Times (though today, I would be surprised if it could reach 16 pages)

But at least we have proof we are being gaslighted by them.
