Mr. Schiff goes to Washington.

Image result for Trump images

Look at this guy, does he look like someone who should be making fun of Adam Schiff's neck? 

Anyway, speaking of Adam Schiff, his beat down of republicans in Washington yesterday was epic, and the transcript from it is worthy of an entire blog post. 

 "Adam Schiff, speaking before the House Intelligence Committee meeting on March 28, 2019:

My colleagues might think it’s okay that the Russians offered dirt on the Democratic candidate for president as part of what’s described as the Russian government’s effort to help the Trump campaign. You might think that’s okay. My colleagues might think it’s okay that when that was offered to the son of the president, who had a pivotal role in the campaign, that the president’s son did not call the FBI, he did not adamantly refuse that foreign help — no, instead that son said he would ‘love’ the help with the Russians.

You might think it was okay that he took that meeting. You might think it’s okay that Paul Manafort, the campaign chair, someone with great experience running campaigns, also took that meeting. You might think it’s okay that the president’s son-in-law also took that meeting. You might think it’s okay that they concealed it from the public. You might think it’s okay that their only disappointment after that meeting was that the dirt they received on Hillary Clinton wasn’t better. You might think it’s okay. I don’t.

You might think it’s okay that, when it was discovered a year later that they had lied about that meeting and said it was about adoptions, you might think it’s okay that the president is reported to have helped dictate that lie. You might think it’s okay. I don’t.

You might think it’s okay that the campaign chairman of a presidential campaign would offer information about that campaign to a Russian oligarch in exchange for money or debt forgiveness. You might think that’s okay. I don’t. You might think it’s okay that that campaign chairman offered polling data, campaign polling data, to someone linked to Russian intelligence. I don’t think that’s okay.

You might think it’s okay if that the president himself called on Russia to hack his opponent’s emails, if they were listening. You might think it’s okay that, later that day, the Russians in fact attempted to hack a server affiliated with that campaign. I don’t think that’s okay.
You might think that it’s okay that the president’s son-in-law sought to establish a secret back-channel of communication with Russians through a Russian diplomatic facility. I don’t think that’s okay.
You might think it’s okay that an associate of the president made direct contact with the GRU through Guccifer 2.0 and WikiLeaks, that is considered a hostile intelligence agency. You might think it’s okay that a senior campaign official was instructed to reach that associate and find out what that hostile intelligence agency had to say, in terms of dirt on his opponent.

You might think it’s okay that the national security adviser-designate secretly conferred with a Russian ambassador about undermining U.S. sanctions, and you might think it’s okay he lied about it to the FBI.

You might say that’s all okay. You might say that’s just what you need to do to win. But I don’t think it’s okay. I think it’s immoral, I think it’s unethical, I think it’s unpatriotic and, yes, I think it’s corrupt, and evidence of collusion.

Now, I have always said that whether this amounts to proof of conspiracy was another matter. Whether the special counsel could prove beyond a reasonable doubt the proof of that crime was up to the special counsel and that I would accept his decision, and I do. He is a good an honorable man and he is a good prosecutor.

But I do not think that conduct, criminal or not, is okay. And the day we do think that’s okay is the day we will look back and say, that is the day America lost its way.

And I’ll tell you one more thing that is a propos of the hearing today. I don’t think it’s okay that during a presidential campaign Mr. Trump sought the Kremin’s help to consummate a real estate deal in Moscow that would make him a fortune. According to the special counsel, hundreds of millions of dollars. I don’t think it’s okay that he concealed it from the public.  don't think it's okay he advocated a new and more favorable policy towards the Russians, even as he was seeking the Russian's help, the Kremlin’s help, to make money.

I don't think it's okay that his attorney lied to our committee. There is a different word for that than collusion and it's called compromise. And that's the subject of our hearing today."

Mr. Schiff, you have my attention.

Trump looks like he ate a box of crayons and glued a squirrel to his head. He’s got some freaking chutzpah making fun of anyone’s looks.

We can expect to hear a lot more of the president calling him “Adam Schitt.” The congressman is officially off the Trump family Christmas card list!

Gambler2 ASKA White Woman said...

Bravo, Adam Schiff! Great smack down of the Trump crime family and the GOPers who continue to enable them, and done with such dignity using words that an educated adult would use when speaking to others.

Field, did you catch the looks on the faces of the Republicans on the committee while Schiff was speaking?

dinthebeast said...

So I'd maybe like to, you know, answer the question, as I find it strikes at the very heart of the situation:

Just who, exactly, does think all of that is okay, and why, exactly, do they think that?

Paradoctor said...

The R's _say_ it's all OK, or at least they don't deny that it's all OK. What they think is of secondary importance.

They got to that place by gradual acclimation. Think 'frog in a gradually warming saucepan'. The frog never jumps, because it's never suddenly hotter, and you end up with frog stew.

Paradoctor said...

As for Trump saying "Russia, if you're listening...":
I think that open solicitation of espionage is hilarious. And it was even funnier when Russian hackers broke into a DNC server later that very day. Trump likes to crack jokes like that, because he's a funny guy. Very, very funny.

A jest deserves a jest in reply, so the House will soon issue lots of amusing subpoenas. And just as side-splitting are the 17 ongoing state investigations.

Flying Junior said...

Thank you Field. I needed that. After talking to and reading bullshit from conservatives it sure as hell makes sense. Right-fucking-on Adam. Well said my brother.

I'm not okay with it either. Dumb fucking Trumpie traitors. Those rat bastards compromise precious national secrets just to elect their man and make a fast buck. May every man involved in this scheme squirm in prison for many years to come.

anotherbozo said...

That's not the worst photo of Trump's chin/neck, and even without any visual aids his attacking Schiff's appearance, or the personal characteristics of anyone he dislikes, is so infantile as always to be astounding. Of course he doesn't listen to the withering criticisms of his behavior, he can't and won't change, he's stuck in his childish behavior and will be till he dies. With apologies to relatively mature, well-brought-up children.
But we have to wonder how this monster was raised. Never to be disciplined, never punished, never having had to pay for his behavior, always getting Daddy to buy his way out of trouble or walking away from it scott free. He knows all the tricks in a lifetime of practice. Will he ever get any kind of comeuppance? Unfortunately it's become a race between that an the destruction of what remains of our democracy.

anotherbozo said...

http://rudepundit.blogspot.com/ the Rude Pundit is good today, was yesterday too on the Devos hearing. Today, Trump's renewed attack on the ACA.

"The Dumb Orange Motherfucker in the White House couldn't give two jiggles of his jowls about whether or not people die, or even if those dead people come from his base. He wants to destroy one of the few remaining accomplishments of Barack Obama, who dared to be president while black. And Trump despises that nothing he has done and nothing he has ever done or will ever do will be as popular and important as Obamacare is right now. Not his worthless wall, not his fake peace with North Korea, not his debt-driving tax cuts. And not his terrible TV show and shitty buildings and forgotten books. So, fuck it, people must die to prove he can kill them."

What? No Drumpf troll defenders? Has this site been sanitized?

Wingnuts are trying to claim Devin Numbnuts is the hero while conveniently forgetting the leaks and info he carried directly to the kremlin annex and Drumpf personally.

Schiff is a real hero and I hope he is remembered kindly in history books.

That meeting was a set up. Natalia Veselnitskaya met with Glenn Simpson of Fusion GPS immediately prior to and after her meeting at Trump Tower:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natalia_Veselnitskaya

No dirt on Hillary was offered or accepted.

But, we know that Hillary actually did pay millions of dollars to Russians for dirt on Donald Trump, and that this transaction was done through law firm Perkins Coie and in turn, Glenn Simspon of Fusion GPS. The FBI not only knew about this, but used the dirt as a pretext to spy on the Trump campaign.

Are you okay with that?

Alex Jones is now desperately asserting an insanity defense in court, as family of those killed in the massacre at Sandy Hook attempt to sue him into the poorhouse for his lies about the massacre being a “false-flag” operation.

It is delicious to watch this despicable con artist and hatemonger spiral downward into ruin. May the rest of the bullshit-spewing wingnut media charlatans follow him there.

Bullshit!!!! You cannot prove HRC knew aNything about the dossier or payments to anyone for anything and you sure as hell can't prove they paid millions.

As for offering dirt that was the whole premise of the meeting and when Drumpfuck Junior said yes to that, that was what you call acceptance if you weren't a stoopid fuckin g wingnut.

ps the dossier was the the beginn ing of the russia scandal. That bullshit has been debunked more times than you have had Drumpf's micro dick in your mouth.

Just keep rehashing the same old debunked bullshit. That is the best you can do.

mike from iowa said...

he Clinton campaign paid Perkins Coie $5.6 million in legal fees from June 2015 to December 2016, according to campaign finance records, and the DNC paid the firm $3.6 million in "legal and compliance consulting'' since November 2015 — though it's impossible to tell from the filings how much of that work was for other legal matters and how much of it related to Fusion GPS.

At no point, the people said, did the Clinton campaign or the DNC direct Steele's activities. They described him as a Fusion GPS subcontractor.

Okay shit fer brains, show me how much of those so called millions for the dossier was actually paid for the dossier and show me where HRC was iionvolved in any of it. This is from your smoking gun link that doesn't smoke.

Well Mike, this is to be expected. Adam Schiff has laid out a part of the the Trump crime family's behavior for all to see, and their supporters don't like it. The response here from Collusion Delusion is an example of their frantic efforts to deflect and confuse. This is a typical Trump tactic. We can expect more of these "red herring" type attacks as even more of their crimes are revealed.
