Adam Schiff (D-CA),
ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee, said today on CNN that he’s
worried Republicans are trying to kill his panel’s probe into the 2016 U.S.
presidential election, amid efforts to smear special counsel Robert Mueller and
discredit his own investigation into last year’s race.
The committee’s investigation has gone on for about a
year, with nearly five dozen witnesses interviewed across eleven open
and closed hearings lasting for hours. What Schiff said really has him
“concerned” is if Congress’s probes end, Republicans could exert pressure to
end Mueller’s investigation, which has cost $6.7 million in taxpayer funds in
its first five months.
Schiff’s meltdown on Twitter reveals the collusion narrative has
crumpled. He attempted
to draw a false equivalence between reports that FBI agents were outraged
before the presidential election at the kid-glove treatment Granny received for
her e-mail scandal and the Trump-antagonistic attitudes recently exposed
among members of the Bureau's top management and Mueller's team.
I’m increasingly worried Republicans will shut down the House Intelligence Committee investigation at the end of the month.— Adam Schiff (@RepAdamSchiff) December 15, 2017
Here’s why:
Schiff: I am very, very, very unhappy that I will not be allowed to conduct a permanent investigation of Donald Trump through the rest of his tenure-- even though endless witness, thousands of docs have so far turned up no collusion. https://t.co/GQnkc8BK6K— Kimberley Strassel (@KimStrassel) December 15, 2017
This is codespeak for @RepAdamSchiff realizing he's under investigation (as a leaker) and the entire House Intelligence Committee, including all staff, are being monitored by the new joint FBI/DOJ task force. https://t.co/CBQyiOowPQ— TheLastRefuge (@TheLastRefuge2) December 15, 2017
The effect on your cable appearances would be catastrophic. https://t.co/grlTPJGv9E— Omri Ceren (@omriceren) December 15, 2017
