    Well Democrats don't of course but then damn few Republicans take the Cotton Mather reincarnated as Schiffless seriously. So we are at an impasse are we not?.

    Curious how Trump's fans are avoiding the actual evidence against Trump and engage in name calling, personal attacks, and false accusations.

    Why do they do this? The can't defend Trump, and they know he is guilty as hell.

    Bad Analogy in the OP.

    1) Trump = Joe McCarthy

    (Perfect Comparison based on Trump's Constant PARROTING Of Baseless RW Tinfoil Hat Conspiracies)


    2) In Congress, the Majority Party sets the Rules.

    And anybody (who supports Trump) that has a problem with it should not forget how McConnell was able to STEAL a S. Court seat b/c the GOP controlled the Senate.

    3) Everybody KNEW that these hearings were going to happen if the Dems flipped The House in 2018.

    These hearings come as No Surprise.

    4) IF the GOP (and Trump's Supporters) were so worried about this, they should've done a better job at turning out in 2018.

    Conclusion:

    That is just How Stuff Works, and any complaining about Schiff is Whining and Sour Grapes that Falls on Deaf Ears.

    in the movie - outbreak - {1995}, Dustin Hoffman races to find the host monkey responsible for the black plague

    this Republics White Christian minority must exercise its political power against bill maher to be cured.

    Schiff reminds me of Senator Sam Ervin.

    I don't think young Americans learn squat from any of it unless it would be democrat kiddies inspired to operate outside the law in screwing the system and everyone in it for personal advantage. Seems to me the greatest contribution of watergate is evidenced in journalists coining every mundane democrat transgression for publicity as thisgate, thatgate and boregate, a lazy mindless crutch means next to nothing, and -- lol -- rather assumes Nixon the King of Tricksters -- Tricky Dick, albeit he resembles more of a choir boy compared to today's democrats -- or holy of holies JFK, for that matter.

    The exception might be whitewater, but no one knows exactly what that was about because Clintons float like **** in a toilet. So, flush already.

    In the tradition of bad is good, lies are truth and up is down, Schiff is an archetypal democrat. Nothing authentic about him but his lint brush and smooth, forked tongue.

    Given the years of excoriation Hillary received for security issues involving her server....................I can't help noticing a lack of outrage over Don's conversation with Sondland, in a public space, using an unsecured cell phone..............able to be tapped by the Russians.

    McCarthy was a populist demagogue, who was also an alcoholic. Schiff is just following the investigation launched by the Whistleblower's report and substantiated by testimony before his committee. Incidentally, Roy Cohn was the chief counsel for McCarthy's committee. Cohn went on to become Donald Trump's attorney, prior to Cohen.

    "Schiff is just following the investigation launched by the Whistleblower's report"

    Do you think that anyone, on either side, believes that?

    Do you have evidence to the contrary? Both the Intelligence IG and the Director of National Intelligence (both Trump appointees) concluded that the WB followed the law and that his concerns were both "credible and urgent."

    It was a simple question.

    I don't think that anyone, on either side, believes it. I think that everyone, on both sides, knows that Schiff is a proven liar and political hack.

    What do you think? Do you think anyone believes that Schiff is just following the "evidence"?

    Yes. And, I haven't heard anything from the Republicans on the Committee to the contrary. What do you think Schiff is lying about? His parody? His failure to initially tell everyone that the Whistleblower originally came to one of his staff members for advice on how to proceed?

    Schiff, as a proven liar, is likely to be lying about anything and everything.

    Having a proven liar run this clown show is piling hoax upon hoax.

    That he had more than circumstantial evidence that Trump colluded with RUSSIA!

    I think you're thinking about the Mueller Report.

    I hereby retract my statement. I didn't quote Schiff. I paraphrased him.

    If you look very closely at the video's of him, he does not carry a briefcase. For the most part, his interns carry most of his paperwork in folders.

    No. As in I owned up to my mistake, but it doesn't change the bottom line that Schiff is a proven liar.
