LOS ANGELES.–Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) is at his anti-Trump ways ranting about 78-year-old President Donald Trump’s blanket pardons of Jan. 6 rioters who have spent the last four years rotting in federal prison. “One thing is abundantly clear: He [Trump] does give a rat’s a—about law enforcement. That much is clear,” Schiff said on Trump-hating MSNBC, slamming Trump for pardoning anyone that attacked police officers on Jan. 6, 2021. Schiff has been in the forefront of Democrats investigation into Trump’s alleged ties to the Kremlin, something Schiff said himself he has proof that Trump colluded with Russia. Former Special Counsel Robert Mueller spent 22-months and $40 million using the best U.S. prosecutor Andrew Weitzman to acquit Trump March 23, 2019 of any wrongdoing. But Schiff insists he has proof that Trump colluded with Moscow to win the 2016 presidential election.
Schiff finds everything Trump does or says objectionable, so he only takes the most malicious interpretation of anything Trump does. When it comes to 64-year-old former FBI Director James Comey, Schiff thought he could do no wrong in 2016 while he ran for president. Schiff thought Trump was guilty of Russian collusion. It didn’t matter to Schiff that Mueller had cleared Trump, only that the FBI would continue its illegal counterintelligence investigation. Schiff was in the forefront with former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) of blaming Trump for the Jan. 6 Capitol riots, even though Trump was acquitted Feb. 13, 2021 in the U.S. Senate of “incitement of insurrection.” Pelosi and Schiff wanted to put Trump into double jeopardy, trying him again for his alleged involvement in Jan. 6 Capitol riots. So, Schiff and Pelosi formed the Jan.6 House Select Committee July 1, 2001.
Schiff slammed Trump for giving pardons to Jan. 6 rioters but said nothing about former President Joe Biden’s last-minute pardons of his entire family. “In giving these violent offenders these pardons, he is essentially telling people who would commit violence on his behalf that he has their back, that he will pardon them if they commit violence in the service of Donald Trump,” Schiff told MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell. Schiff knows that Trump never told anyone to go the Capitol and break the law. Yet Democrats and the press routinely refer to Jan. 6 Capitol rioters as “Trump supporters.” Whether they support Trump or not, what’s Trump have to do with the planning, organizing and participating in the Jan. 6 riots? Trump was just as shocked as everyone else that they broke their way into the Captiol, claiming they wanted to the stop the Electoral College vote certification.
Schiff likes to promote the Democrat narrative that Trump seeks to undermine the Constitution and upend American democracy. “And you would hard-pressed to find a country that has gone from democracy to a dictatorship without find this step of essentially pardoning people who commit violence on the behalf of the dictator,” Schiff said. Schiff makes only disparaging remarks about Trump, despite the fact he was elected president by wide margin Nov. 5. Schiff acts like he’s still campaigning for Kamala, essentially calling Trump a dictator or fascist, just like Kamala. “It doesn’t mean that we’re going to become a dictatorship. But it does mean that we have taken one tragic step in that direction,” Schiff old O’Donnell. Few people in Congress on both sides of the aisle show more contempt for Trump than Schiff. Schiff’s public statements have been reprehensible.
Schiff doesn’t talk to O’Donnell over the fact he was censured June 21, 2023 by the House of Representatives for making false and misleading statements about Trump’s alleged ties to the Kremlin. Schiff’s accuses Trump of pandering to dictators like 72-year-old Russian President Vladimir Putin. Schiff denied any wrongdoing but clearly has no facts on his side accusing Trump of Russian collusion. When it comes to holding evidence against Trump, it’s clear that Schiff has nothing other than what Special Counsel Robert Mueller found: Which is nothing. Schiff hoped that whatever Mueller didn’t find, Special Counsel Jack Smith would about Trump alleged ties with the Kremlin. But Smith, like Mueller, found nothing about Trump’s alleged ties to Moscow. Schiff like other members on the Jan. 6 House Select Committee, likes to talk trash about Trump.
When it comes to Schff whether in the Senate or House, he’s a Democrat political hack committed to taking down Donald Trump, whether he’s president or not. Schiff knows all about the Democrat conspiracy to use Jan. 6, make accusations, back it up with cherry picked evidence from the Jan. 6 House Selection Committee, charging Trump with crimes to prevent him from running for president in 2024. So, when it comes to Schiff and the Russian hoax, he would never admit that he played a vital role in Democrats’ plot to keep Trump out of the White House. Even after he was censured by the GOP House, Schiff keeps saying Trump is a Russian asset, cannot be trusted with any security clearance. No one on either side of the aisle lied more to the public about Trump than Adam Schiff. He takes the cake for spewing the most hateful propaganda and disinformation about Trump.
