Benghazi Liar Schiff Now Lies about Uranium One
2017-10-27
[American Thinker] When the Democratic anti-Trump mantra of "Russia, Russia, Russia" was in its infancy, House Intelligence Committee off ranking member Rep. Adam Schiff from the People’s Republic of California was in high dudgeon over Chairman Rep. Devin Nunes daring to report to the public and the press that, yes, members of Team Trump were in fact surveilled and the contents of their conversations and their names were recorded and disseminated.

#2  Smokescreen tactics are occasionally difficult to detect but these guys are rank amatuers. Whenever asked if there is any evidence of Trump/Russian collusion Rep. Schiff is always quick with the boilerplate 'refusal to answer based on classified information' schtick. However, he always leaves a lingering suspicion with his "concerning questions still remain" follow up comment. And as if to solidify justification for an endless "investigation" Schiff ends with the obligatory 'we will go where the evidence leads us' line.
Now observe the response when their narrative is exposed. There is no classified information to protect because it's all been debunked in the press. There are no concerning questions because it's all been debunked in the press. And there's no further evidence to pursue because...you guessed it...it's all been debunked in the press.
It's the old defense lawyer trick. If you know there's about to be damaging information exposed - go on offense and discredit the process.

#1  Schiff is a liar? This tends to run in the left-wing party of corruption. Benghazi, Uranium One, Fast and Furious, IRS scandal, election fraud, fake dossiers...need I go on and on and on?
