(171,070 posts)showed Schiff 'evidence' that Nunes went all Maxwell Smart to obtain, and he was not at all impressed. So I just wonder how we can trust anyone.

(85,998 posts)...or Trump in defending his assertion Obama spied on him, at least not in some open manner.

(171,070 posts)We don't know what Schiff saw but he wasn't impressed.
So what would be impressive enough for Nunes to run over there to brief dt? Is he dumb enough to think he had something when he didn't?

(85,998 posts)...but phony documents can't serve anything more than the charade that they're trying to perpetrate now.
The documents won't show whatever Nunes was trying to sell, and they won't provide an inch of cover for Trump's wiretap lies.

(17,984 posts)But my question was, Does Schiff actually believe he read the real documents? I mean, he is intelligent enough to know better than to trust the WH, so why does he continue with this farce? Does he think that playing nice is going to net some benefit down the road? I really want to know what his strategy is.

This thread needs MORE RECs.

(9,670 posts)This whole episode was bad theater; an attempt to deflect attention and control the narrative. It's not about Russia, it's about the leaks; it's not about Russia, it's about Obama.
Every moment we spend dwelling on the "substance" of this subterfuge, the more our focus diffuses and our concentration wanes.
Schiff said as much yesterday. There is no smoking gun at the White House. Just a bunch of criminals attempting to hide their spoor by pissing on every trail within 100 miles.
