Schiff: Dems Holding ''Shadow Hearings'' to Expose Trump''s ''Runaway Corruption''
2025-04-05
[BREITBART] Senator Adam Schiff
>...Showboating U.S. Representative for California's 28th congressional district since 2013. A member of the Democratic Party, Schiff has served in Congress since 2001. He currently serves as the chairman of the United States House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. In a manner reminiscent of Joe McCarthy, on March 22, 2017, in a interview with Chuck Todd on MSNBC Schiff claimed there was “more than circumstantial evidence now” that Donald Trump's campaign colluded with Russia." Todd followed up by asking if he had seen direct evidence of collusion and Schiff responded that there was "evidence that is not circumstantial and is very much worthy of investigation" Elected to rgw Debate in 2024...>
(D-CA) said Wednesday on MSNBC's ''Prime'' that the Democrats
...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy, white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects...
have planned so-called shadow hearings to ''expose'' the Trump administration's ''corruption.''

Co-host Alicia Menendez said, ''You announced today a set of hearings are going to have next week with fired DOJ officials. What is it you are hoping to learn from them?''

Schiff said, ''Well, today as you know, we saw the case, the corruption case against the mayor of New York dismissed with prejudice. That means that case can never be brought again. It wasn't dismissed because of a lack of evidence. It was dismissed because the administration tried to engage in a corrupt bargain with the mayor, in which it would make the charges go away, at least for a time, if he would do their bidding on unrelated policy matters. The only losers there are the American people. In the judiciary committee, we're not having hearings on any of this, any of these abuses of power. What happened in New York is just one of many examples.''

He added, ''So I'm teaming up with Jamie Raskin. We're doing our own hearing to bring in some of the prosecutors who were fired or had to quit because of these corrupt acts. We're also bringing in a young attorney who left one of the major law firms because the law firms are capitulating to the Trump administration and are also giving in to this campaign of abuse of power and an attack on the rule of law.''

Schiff concluded, ''Shedding a light through these spotlight or shadow hearings, like we're going to do on Monday at 330, we're going to expose this corruption at the top of the Justice Department for the American people to see. And that's one way also of putting pressure on this administration and pressure on our Republican colleagues to do something about the runaway corruption of this administration.''
