HPSCI Chairman Adam Schiff could never get away with the nonsense he promotes if it were not for an intentionally blind media apparatus. Here is his latest insufferable grandstanding:
You might remember back in September 2018, those HPSCI transcripts were already released by Devin Nunes, given to the Intelligence Community [See Here], the DOJ/FBI, and also to Robert Mueller. Of course, the media ignore the manufactured Schiff grandstanding and run with the ‘Muh Russia‘ narrative as if it’s something new. Silly.
Additionally, Michael Cohen is/was scheduled to appear before the House Oversight Committee tomorrow (Chairman Elijah Cummings), and later to testify to the House Intelligence Committee (Chairman Adam Schiff). Well, Schiff makes a big deal out of postponing/rescheduling Cohen until February 28th:
Via NBC – Testimony from Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump’s former personal lawyer and fixer, has been postponed to later this month, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., said Wednesday.
The testimony was supposed to take place on Friday, but Schiff said that “in the interests of the investigation” it will now take place on Feb. 28, days before Cohen is scheduled to report to federal prison.
Schiff did not elaborate on why the testimony was delayed. Cohen has been cooperating with special counsel Robert Mueller’s team as they investigate alleged Russian ties to the 2016 presidential election. (read more)
Here’s what appears to be going on…. Remember, Matt Whitaker is scheduled to testify before the House Judiciary Committee (Chairman Jerry Nadler) on Friday; and William Barr’s confirmation vote from the Senate Judiciary is on hold. All of this stuff is connected.
Mueller is a player in all of this because he too has material Deep State risk. Speaker Pelosi, Adam Schiff (HPSCI), Elijah Cummings (House Oversight), and Jerry Nadler (House Judiciary) are working with Robert Mueller (team) and Rod Rosenstein (internal DOJ corrupt officials) on a tenuously constructed timeline.
Mueller, the political team not the individual, are providing their political allies with the ammunition toward their goal. Mueller is both the shield and sword in the arsenal. Mueller hiding, controlling and then shaping released aspects of the witness testimony that provide maximum political value, exhibit his team coordination. Mueller will be handing of the primary job to the House trio once they have established a firm footing to structure the ‘impeachment narrative’.
When we approach the term “impeachment” we are not discussing it as the technical and legal approach for removal of a President; but rather the political use of the process to Alinsky (damage) President Donald Trump.
Professional political Democrats would not be using “impeachment” in the constitutional sense of the process (high crimes and misdemeanors); but rather weaponizing the process –as a tool itself– to: •target the executive office; •diminish the presidency (“isolate”/”marginalize”, Alinsky rules); •and position themselves for 2020.
Optics and innuendo are key elements, tools per se’, in the Alinsky narrative engineering process. [Alinsky Rule #6 is Pelosi fueling the resistance base] Pelosi, Schumer and the democrat machine are also focused on getting a raw Mueller report and not a version from AG Barr {explained here}.
The goal of innuendo and loosely connected circumstantial, mostly manufactured, evidence is what Pelosi, Cummings, Schiff and Nadler are working toward. The timing is fluid, the sequence is not. Their collective problem is Whitaker and Barr… so they have to delay their plans to see the risk from Whitaker and Barr.
The left doesn’t want the truth to get out; they want their version to get out. Delaying Cohen because of “threats” is a joke.
February 26, 2019 — GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz appears to threaten Michael Cohen on Twitter
We’re about to learn a lot about the inside workings of Trump & Co. No doubt we’ll hear what you have to say about that, too. It probably won’t be any more intelligent or mature than the above comment. I’m also looking forward to Hannity’s insane rants.
@Greg:
No we aren’t. We are about to learn how far Cohen will go to try and stay out of jail.
Maybe he hopes to share federal accommodations with his former boss, who got him into this situation.
Gaetz is one of Trump’s creatures. Cohen has ceased being so.
@Greg:
Man how can you listen to him or his counterpart Wretched? No damn wonder you dont have a clue, if those are considered news sources. Seems GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz is out of his damn mind. There had to be plenty to blackmail this “attorney” with that was already obvious. He has 0 ethics, most likely was studied pretty closely before Mueller got to him.
He is an admitted liar, will do anything, say anything to reduce what is most likely a laundry list of things he has done, and being an attorney knew better.
The old recycle information already known to make it appear new You might remember back in September 2018, those HPSCI transcripts were already released by Devin Nunes, given to the Intelligence Community, Breaking: huh?
Are they so ignorant they voted the same issue twice?
How about really doing something “breaking” vote to refer those that committed perjury to congress, for charges a special prosecutor dealing with that?
Oh well the games will be played.
@Greg:
Why? Because he uses the same tactics as the left? True, it’s not an admirable trait, but, again, this is what the left has brought upon us.
