Adam Schiff knew about the whistleblower in advance, may have helped write the complaint

Trump says Schiff 'helped write' whistleblower complaint, after House panel admits advance knowledge

Oh, dear. Adam Schiff's lies are catching up to him.

A spokesman for House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., acknowledged Wednesday that the whistleblower alleging misconduct in the White House had reached out to Schiff's panel before filing a complaint -- prompting President Trump, in an extraordinary afternoon news conference at the White House, to accuse Schiff directly of helping write the document.

"It shows that Schiff is a fraud. ... I think it's a scandal that he knew before," Trump said, as the president of Finland stood at an adjacent podium. "I'd go a step further. I'd say he probably helped write it. ... That's a big story. He knew long before, and he helped write it too. It's a scam."

The New York Times reported earlier today that Schiff somehow knew about the whistleblower complaint several days before it was even filed!

Recall, Schiff has insisted up to now that he hadn't met the whistleblower and didn't know who he was.

At this point, I believe Trump is right: Schiff himself probably wrote the complaint, and the "whistleblower" is just some lackey or sock puppet of his. It fits his MO; several times now, he's claimed to have rock-solid evidence against Trump, only to have it later turn out he lied, and no such evidence exists. "I've seen evidence of Russian collusion." (Spoiler: no, he didn't) "I've read the transcripts, there was explicit quid pro quo." (no, there wasn't.)

Also, remember that he wanted to question the "whistleblower" in a secret setting, with no Republicans present. This would have been an extraordinary action that would violate every rule of fairness, due process, etc, that can possibly be imagined. Now it's clear why he wanted to do that: He couldn't risk someone like Devin Nunes asking a question that would expose the whole thing as a fraud.

We definitely need to begin impeachment proceedings, but they should be against the head of the House Intelligence Committee.

Schiff denied knowing about the complaint before hand. This has now ben revealed as a lie.

Edit: Also, if you recall the Kavenaugh confirmation hearings, that mentally ill woman went to one of the Dems (I want to say Elizabeth Warren, but I'm not sure), and she very conveniently hooked her up with a DNC lawyer to help her "remember" what happened.

That lawyer recently admitted it was all a load of crap, and they were just using that lady for political purposes.

Everybody knew this stunk to high heaven. Adam Schiff is going to get what he deserves. He is a snake, a corrupt lyin' deceitful crooked politician.

There's more that is going to come out about him. But, this little stunt is going to take him down. The rest that will come out is probably going to lock him up.

Oops
They think we are not paying attention.

Yep, but not before we hear the deflection, lies and spin from the DemocRATS first.

This looks like a very overt coup. Let him be hateful all he wants in a prison cell for 20 years.

a reply to: AndyFromMichigan

Its a pretty straight forward article. The Dems have built their tower of lies too high, with too many cards, theres too many possibilities for screw ups, like Pelosi did on 60 minutes.

So no impeachment now

say it aint so


OMG does silly know yet??

this will be fun......

Silly is still battin 1000

So, it goes from Schiff knowing about the complaint beforehand to now helping actually write the complaint...? Where's the evidence?

Obviously he knew, based on his tweet in August.

You mean this NYT article..??

NYT

The aide shared some of what the officer conveyed to Mr. Schiff. The aide did not share the whistle-blower’s identity with Mr. Schiff, an official said.

Maybe read the article first..

You're exactly right. They will spin it somehow and twist it into a pretzel of whatever they want it to be.

It's not going to work. We are on to their tricks, lies, and obfuscations.

Game over.

Hahaha
The ig just dropped a bomb

"Conspiracy " per md Congressman

The way I read it Schiff knew about the complaint...maybe it's my reading comprehension.

Peace

Just at what point these shenanigans amount to seditious conspiracy?

So that makes the complaint corrupt.
Game over.

a reply to: shooterbrody

Hmmmm...can't quite follow you there.

So the WB approaches congress about how to handle his complaint. Schiff's aide advises him on the proper procedure and informs Schiff about it.

They then wait for the official complaint and this makes the complaint corrupt? How?

Peace
