Adam Schiff and CBS may have lied one-too-many times

Paul Goldberg reports in News Thud,

House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA), lead manager presenting the case for impeachment at the Senate just royally screwed up. He fumbled so bad he just lost what little support he had from moderate Republican Senators who may have been willing to let him call witnesses.

The morning news show “CBS This Morning” ran a story that caught Schiff’s attention, the only problem was, it was not true.

“CBS News reported last night that a Trump confidant said GOP senators were warned, ‘Vote against your president, vote against the president, and your head will be on a pike,’ Schiff stated as he closed on Friday.”

“I don’t know if that’s true,” he added.

...Republican Senators were furious.

“That is completely totally false, and all of us were shaking our heads, like where did that story come from, and Adam Schiff just kept saying it,” Sen. James Lankford (R-OK) said after the closing arguments.

“The whole room was visibly upset on our side of it. … That’s insulting and demeaning,” he added.

Republicans also said that none of what CBS News or what Rep. Adam Schiff said was true.

If Schiff was hoping to get any support from two liberal Republican Senators he just lost it.

Schiff’s arrogance just caused him to fumble on the one-yard line. One of the many things I find disgusting in this whole impeachment process is just the blatant disrespect the Democrats have for our governing body, they act like clowns in the House, disrespect our President, and mock the Senate.

One last observation, two of the most liberal Republican Senators have been very offended by Schiff and we haven’t heard one word from Senator Mitt Romeny except that he wants to vote to allow witnesses. For a man that prides himself on not engaging in rhetoric and doing things the professional “right way”, he’s awfully quiet.

Ethics

"Put up or shut up!"

Oregon Muse writes in Ace of Spades,

"In my opinion, the lyingest sh*tweasel in this whole Russian collusion clown show has been Congressman Adam Schiff. He's been insisting all along that he's seen "conclusive evidence" of Trump's involvement with shady Russian operatives who helped him steal the presidency from Hillary, the rightful winner of the 2016 election. Which would be news to Robert Mueller, who's been looking for precisely this evidence for 2 whole years. Which raises the question: If Schiff actually had evidence, why didn't he put it on a thumb drive and walk it over to Mueller's office? Was that so hard? If he's been sitting on it all of this time, wouldn't that be obstruction of justice. If I were Mueller, I'd be thoroughly p*ssed. So does Schiff have the goods on Trump or not? Because if he's got nothing (as I suspect), then what he did is the equivalent of shouting 'FIRE!' in a crowded theater when there is no fire. There should be consequences. At the very least, Schiff needs to put up or shut up."

"The stories were fake, but the leaks were real."
