When it comes to the Russia collusion narrative, the Democrats have got nothing. The investigation has been going on for months and we always seem to be just a few days away from the bombshell that will finally allow Democrats to declare the 2016 election null and void.
Now that the political bias of so many members of Mueller’s team has been made public, people are quickly losing patience with the entire affair. Rep. Adam Schiff of California, who has become a darling of liberal cable news throughout the investigation, is sounding the alarm.
Sophie Tatum reports at CNN:
Schiff concerned Republicans are working to end the Russia investigationRep. Adam Schiff said Thursday he’s concerned Republicans are working to end the Russia investigation.”I think they view shutting us down as a prerequisite to shutting Bob Mueller down,” Schiff said on CNN’s “The Situation Room.” “And we see some very disturbing signs that that’s what they intend to do.”In the interview, Schiff noted several Republicans who were critical of special counsel Robert Mueller during a hearing on Wednesday with Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.And when CNN’s Wolf Blitzer asked the Democrat from California if he feared Republicans were attempting to pave the way to shut down the investigation, Schiff replied: “I do.””We are scheduled to have witness interviews out of state at a time next week when we’ll be voting to keep the government running, when we’ll be voting … potentially, on this tax bill for the wealthy, so we can’t leave to do these interviews, and nonetheless even though these witnesses are very important and have been on our witness list for months and months and they haven’t been willing to bring them in until now, they’re pulling these kind of tactics, which say to me they’re trying to bring this to an end,” Schiff later added.
He made his case to Wolf Blitzer this week:
Twitchy has compiled a tweet storm from Schiff on the topic:
This is the best response:
Schiff could find himself the target of a new probe if Donald Trump Jr. has anything to say about it. Schiff is accused of leaking information to the press about Trump Jr.’s recent testimony before the hearing even concluded.
Tom Hamburger of the Washington Post:
Donald Trump Jr. demands leak investigationDonald Trump Jr. and his lawyer formally requested an investigation Tuesday into leaks from the House Intelligence Committee that followed Trump’s participation in a closed-door interview with committee members and staffers last week.“The public release of confidential non-public information by Committee members continued unabated” for 24 hours after Trump’s supposedly confidential interview last week, Trump’s lawyer, Alan Futerfas, wrote in a letter delivered Tuesday afternoon.The four-page letter, addressed to Rep. K. Michael Conaway (R-Tex.), the panel chairman overseeing the Russia investigation, complains about public comments made by three members of the panel, all Democrats, including the highest-ranking minority member of the panel, Rep. Adam B. Schiff (D-Calif.). The letter says that members and staffers began “selectively leaking information” even before the closed-door meeting ended.
Perhaps this is the real reason for Schiff’s sudden sense of urgency.
