Discussion: Schiff Wants The Intel Community To Keep Him In The Loop On Barr's Digging

Seems legit to me and certainly in line with the newly established principle of ā€˜ā€˜investigate the investigatorsā€™ā€™. Wadayasay, Bill?

"House Intelligence Chairman"

Got that US INT agencies? The guy that has CONSTITUTIONAL OVERSIGHT and control over your BUDGETS wants to know WTF is going on.

Tell him, or elseā€¦he can hurt you in ways Cheeto Mussolini canā€™t.

I have no doubt whatsoever that Barr already has every Dem member of the committee under investigation.

Rep Schiff couldnā€™t be more ethical and dedicated to keeping the admin honest. It wasnā€™t very long ago every thing coming out of his committee was immediately rushed to the WH via the messenger from the Central Valley and then immediately dropped into a black hole.

The House needs to establish a simple principle: no cooperation with Congressional oversight, no appropriations.

Absolutely. Let Schiff investigate the investigation of the investigators.

Now weā€™ll be able to hear the truth spoken and not just tRumpā€™s alternative universe version. No three dimensional chess here, nor could team tRump play it.

Now hereā€™s a game that tRumpā€™s Army of Cletusā€™ is still trying to masterā€¦

No NAFTA 2.0! No loss anyway except to Trump; the pact is not much different. Like when Esso became Exxon. It was still the same old gas.

Then what, another government shutdown?

Without Schiff keeping an eye on him, Barr is capable of absolutely anything. Look at how far he was willing to go in misrepresenting the Mueller Report, even knowing that his lies were going to be exposed by the report itself. Schiff can perhaps maintain some constraints on Barrā€™s lawlessness in this way.

Well, Mueller set himself up for that by saying he didnā€™t want to testify and if he did, he wouldnā€™t go beyond the report. Not his call. Problem ownership and hubris issue here.

Hereā€™s a summary of what AG Barr is doing: Full Benghazi 24/7 until he finds damaging info that is useful to t rumppā€™s campaign. If that info isnā€™t there, then itā€™s the Deep State at work to help the Democrats. William Barr is not a civil servant who works for the American People. He is a functioning part of the t rumpp 2020 campaign. with full access to, and control of this nationā€™s entire law enforcement and intelligence communities. .

Maybe Barr can investigate Schiff while Schiff investigates Barr - an investigation circle jerk.

I love me some Adam Schiff. Even when they had no power he came on strong in a serious, dignified way and said ā€œThis is bullshitā€ without actually using the word. Heā€™s not the flashiest hot-dogger out there but neither was Eisenhower. He just gets it done. Plus which his wife is named Eve which I love and heā€™s got a signature chili recipe that looks pretty good even if it seems to omit chili powder. He put a domestic spy for the Russkies in jail this one time. Pretty cool guy. Glad heā€™s on our side.

Personally I like the mix of spices in this chili recipe here. Or try the venerable Silver Palate one. Thereā€™s no sense fighting about chili recipes.

ā€¦And cue the memo from the legal counsel for the President to all the agency heads that they are not to comply with Schiffā€™s requestsā€¦

Itā€™s the reverse Nunez. I would think the intelligence agency professionals have much more faith in him.

Speaking of Schiff, here is a very good point from him in response to Barrā€™s suggestion that Trump could have been indicted.

Seth Abramson raises another really good question in response to Barrā€™s interview:

I have every faith that Schiff will remain persistent and professional. He is an honorable patriot.
