Disinformation from Schiff, media damaged America
bostonherald.com ^ | 5/17/2020 | editorial board

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff has been feeding the American people misinformation for years. He used his position — replete with access to information and people in the know — to distribute wild accounts of Russian collusion with the Trump campaign.

The effect was to frighten and alarm millions of Americans, sowing division between neighbors, toxifying our discourse and raising anxieties.

The Trump administration spent time and resources fighting off the fallacy that cursed them since day one and deprived the American people of a president who could devote his time and energy to the policies they had elected him to enact.

Just a year ago, Adam Schiff was on CNN, MSNBC, ABC, Fox News — anyone who would have him — talking about Trump/Russia collusion “in plain sight.”

Even after the Mueller report clearly indicated that there was no provable collusion or coordination between the Russian government and the Trump campaign, Schiff continued to propagate the lie.

Chris Wallace of Fox News pressed Schiff on the claims, playing the congressman a highlight reel of his assertions of collusion.

Schiff shot back, “What more clear intent to collude could you have than the Russians offering dirt on Hillary Clinton as part of what was described as an effort to help Mr. Trump in the campaign and Don Jr. saying if it’s what you say, I would love it?”

“Intent to collude.”

That after years sounding the alarm about “damning evidence” of collusion with Putin that was “more than circumstantial.” This scandal was “beyond Watergate,” Schiff, privy to all of the sensitive intelligence, told us.

We found out this week that Schiff always knew there was no evidence of collusion. By day he would interview former Obama administration officials including Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, Ambassador to

I have a dream...of Schiff’s head, eyes bugging out more than usual, on a tall pike outside the white house.

no the GLOBE is the rag...

the Herald is red. Howie Carr’s paper. They’re hanging on by a hair, so they are less conservative than they used to be...kind of like the NYPost

Not her. Him.

What's that on the bottom of his cup?

p.s. My eyesight sucks too, but I can make it out.

Here's a video of it, maybe you can make it out better.

Is what Schiff did a crime? Did he commit a criminal act?

Why did [Schiff] push false 'Russia evidence' narrative post closed door interviews [no evidence of collusion]?
Why did [Schiff] coordinate w/ WH NSC [through proxy] to arrange for Ukraine whistleblower?
Why did [Schiff] actively leak knowingly false statements during-post classified sessions to MSM?
Why did [Schiff] illegally surveil [phone] members of WH legal team, media, and Congress?

I hope that the movie’s title of “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” is, in the case of Adam Schiff, changed to “One Wu Han Flu Over the Cuckoo Schiff’s Nest and Wasted Him”.

I worked on the Hill and outside of two deranged Democrat representatives - Rev./Father/Rep. Robert Drinan (D-Mass) and Rep. Donald Fraser (D-Minn), most congressmen and women I talked to or heard/read about in the Congressional Record, were pretty mentally stable (I’ll leave out the traitors Abzug, Weiss, Conyers, Hayes, Crockett, etc - Soviet assets, CPUSA members, etc).

Schiff belongs in a loony bin in Zimbabwe, along with half of the Democrat members of Congress. They are insane, goosestepping/lockstep fascists and communists, with no regard for laws, the Constitution, human rights, or America.

If I were a psychologist or psychiatrist, I would either be fully employed for the next 40 years with the present crop of Dems, and the richest man on earth, or I would have shot myself because I couldn’t deal with such crazy people.

Schiff is only the key symbol of this mass insanity but he is just as dangerous as Charles Manson, the Unibomber, and Ted Bundy were.

OK, is that a certain “controversial” letter of the alphabet?

Coincidence?

Schiff is like a mangy dog who’s been sniffing around garbage dumps looking for something to keep him alive.

He finally fund a bone to gnaw on-———collusion theories——and he’s not letting go.
