Yesterday I was at the gym, watching Fox News.\u00a0 Right next to that TV was one showing Anderson Cooper on CNN.\u00a0 It was so bad that I couldn\u2019t resist watching.\u00a0 Adam Schiff was in full attack mode and Anderson Cooper was drinking in the Kool-Aid.<\/p>\n
Here is an example of what Schiff said:<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a really disgraceful act, in my view, to make partisan and political the declassification process, and I think it\u2019s what you see when you have a flawed president infecting the whole of government.\u00a0 It\u2019s apolitical.\u00a0 This is a continuation of the effort to protect the president\u2019s hide.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n I couldn\u2019t help but note the extreme bias toward Donald Trump followed by sanctimonious whining about partisan politics.\u00a0 Does even Schiff believe what he says anymore?<\/p>\n Schiff said that Nunes had not read all the details behind the controversial secret memo.\u00a0 Schiff said that Nunes \u201dcherry-picked\u201d<\/em><\/strong> information without reading all the source material.\u00a0 The committee received mountains of evidence.\u00a0 It is ludicrous to expect Nunes to read every single document.\u00a0 What Schiff did not say was that Nunes had any facts wrong.<\/p>\n CNN:\u00a0 SCHIFF:\u00a0 REPUBLICANS ON HOUSE INTEL COMMITTEE VOTE TO RELEASE CONTROVERSIAL MEMO ON FBI, REFUSE TO RELEASE OPPOSING MEMO WRITTEN BY DEMOCRATS.<\/strong><\/p>\n Schiff neglected to tell Cooper that he had refused to let Republicans read his memo.<\/p>\n Next headline:<\/p>\n SCHIFF:\u00a0 GOP HAS VOTED TO \u201cPOLITICIZE\u201d INTELLIGENCE; WE HAVE CROSSED A DEEPLY REGRETTABLE LINE.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n This is ironic when the memo documents the FBI misusing intelligence to interfere with a presidential campaign.\u00a0 Apparently one only cross the line if one is critical of Democrats.<\/p>\n This caused me to wonder how many times Schiff can burn CNN with utter nonsense before they stop taking the bait.\u00a0 The next guest on Anderson Cooper was a Republican and he immediately discredited most of what Schiff said.<\/p>\n FBI Director Christopher Wray viewed this memo and there are reports he was outraged.\u00a0 That seems to be true, because less that 12 hours later Andrew McCabe was shown the door. Wray did not dispute any facts, he just asked for the opportunity to have additional staff review the information.\u00a0 Perhaps people like Andrew McCabe were telling Wray he needed to trust them only to have Wray discover, the hard way, that he couldn\u2019t trust them at all.<\/p>\n All you really need to know is this.\u00a0 Republicans want to release the memo and all the supporting documentation.\u00a0 Democrats want to suppress the memo and to block release of supporting documents.\u00a0 It is easy to see who has the facts and who is terrified of the facts.<\/p>\n It looks like this is all going to be put on public display, sooner rather than later.\u00a0 If Republicans are right, Adam Schiff has been full of Schiff from day one in a deliberate attempt to obfuscate and confuse.\u00a0 If CNN also realizes they have been had, we could see: GOOD NIGHT SCHIFF<\/strong>.\u00a0 That would be a beautiful thing.<\/p>\n TDM<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Yesterday I was at the gym, watching Fox News.\u00a0 Right next to that TV was one showing Anderson Cooper on CNN.\u00a0 It was so bad that I couldn\u2019t resist watching.\u00a0 Adam Schiff was in full attack mode and Anderson Cooper … Continue reading
