Discussion: Schiff Wants To Know: Did The White House 'Launder' Info Through Nunes?

I very much like the way he put this word into his comments.

Agreed, and I’m confident that was very intentional. Seems to be the way this thing is headed and the lynchpin that connects all of these figures and Russia.

I love the term Information Laudering, which this certainly appears to be. Esp given all of the coverage of late of what looks like Russian money laundering by Manafort and possible cases through real estate in Manhattan and Florida.

And Ryan still supports Nunes!!! The Republican house and the White house are rotten to the core. How long before charges are filed?

He was asked why he thought the White House extended a new invitation to Intelligence Committee leaders to see classified information within minutes of the New York Times report, two weeks after Nunes and Schiff made their request for such information.

“The timing certainly looks fortuitous,” Schiff said. “And probably more than fortuitous.”

Does Nunes share any genes with this guy?

Yeh…I mean, Manafort has that found Trump Towers to have a wonderful laundry facility…

But what is being laundered? What important information did the “whistle blower” give us? What untoward thing was going on, according to Nunes?

The upshot was to kill the House investigation, I get that. But, someone tell me what important information was gleaned by Nunes that he had to take multiple Ubers.

I fail to see how the fact that Trump’s people were “incidentally targeted” (a completely legal endeavor) somehow whitewashes his spurious claim regarding Obama or how it’s a defense of his actions.

It doesn’t and it never did and that was the other egregiously stupid thing about this entire “event.”

So which person is getting his whistle blown by Speaker Ryan here? Trump or Putin? And is there much of a distinction remaining at this point?

I think the immediate “mission” was to Clear trump on the then almost 3 week story of his tweet accusation against Obama and then a cavalcade of misinformation to try to prove that he was tweeting something either that was true, or at least that was a reasonable claim based on… something. I don’t think anyone thought far enough ahead with the plan as to have the goals of shutting down the investigation - that came after Nunes realized what a f*cked up situation he was in.

Is this Schiff’s way of suggesting that the source of the information being “laundered” was ultimately John Barron?

He’s not that smart. And Bannon only thinks he is, but I nominate him.

But, but, the quotes! Didn’t you see he put it in quotes?!

No, and I didn’t see into his heart to get his intention, either. :wink:

You mean FAKE intelligence? I am shocked, shocked I tell you!

How can this be? No one in the current White House has any intelligence.

The Trump team should have tried their methods out on a reality show first, to see if their lies were even plausible - because it’s not working too well in the real world. And here they come now to testify to the House and Senate Intelligence Committees …

So little intelligence that apparently Trump was initially targeted by the Russian cyberspies because he was such an easy mark to tweet out their fake news stories and sow weapons of mass misinformation.
