Adam Schiff Calls Out Four Republicans Of The Congressional Apocalypse

Rep. Adam Schiff had a few words for the Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee going after Rod Rosenstein. Namely, "You're not fooling anyone." Wolf Blitzer asked him what he thought they were trying to accomplish with these hearings, putting intense pressure on Rosenstein about, of all things, information about the Hillary Clinton investigation. Schiff, per usual, told it like it was.

Well, Wolf, this is a show, being put on for the president's benefit. This is collaboration with Executive masquerading as oversight. If you're going to call this oversight at all, it's the most obsequious kind of oversight that says, "We will do anything at all that we can in the service of the president." They gave the president an excuse for firing one of them, Rod Rosenstein so they can alter the course of the Mueller investigation. But make no mistake, they will continue asking for documents in the pending investigation, something the president has no right to, so they can be fed either directly or indirectly to the president's legal defense team. This is what Rudy Giuliani has made so clear. It is his expectation. But more than that, they're interested in a fight with the justice department to give this president a pretext to take action against Rod Rosenstein.

Snip.......

The Four Horsemen of this Apocalypse have been Trey Gowdy, Devin Nunes, Mark Meadows, and Jim Jordan. They've been leading the charge basically to require the Justice Department to give them materials that can be leaked or fed or misrepresented, like the infamous Nunes memorandum, in the service of the president. And in the meantime, they do enormous damage to these institutions.

Are these people pushing and hoping to start war between the factions? Is that their intent? It sure seems to be their intention. The entirety of the Republican Party is a damn disgrace. There isn't a shred of decency in the whole damn lot. Their president is a sexual degenerate, pathetic liar and morally bankrupt. We don't know whose side he is on, the Russians or Americans. I don't know about what most citizens think, but I am sick of this damn mess. It appears that this administration is noting more than a haven for gangsters.

Trump is only Trump's side, but evidently he is beholding to Putin.

I agree with everything you've said and can't believe that so many republicans have stooped so low. It is like a really bad movie, one that no one would believe possible.

Jordan is a loud mouthed bully. You can see it every time he testifies.

No one can tell me he did not know. He sent out King of the Sauna Awards!

We have just now seen the tip of the ice berg. One wrestler said 1500/ w 2000.

Now their are 5 witnesses.

I don't understand under what authority one branch of government can force a different branch of government to turn over documents (and therefore possibly evidence) pertaining to an ongoing and previously authorized investigation. Is it that they are saying Mueller's scope of things he can investigate has to be limited? Because I am pretty sure that is not true.

Schiff is a good fighter - we need more like him, and I'm glad he's out there fighting the good fight.
