There is nothing Adam Schiffty can do to surprise us here at Right Scoop. I mean literally nothing. If I woke up tomorrow and found out that Adam Schiff had overnight grown into a 100 ft tall, 8-tentacled Octopus-Man and was busy attacking people at the Fort Worth Stockyards in a giant Trump wig I would probably make a coffee and go “yup, I can see that.”
So there is no way that his blatant and clownish attempt to cling to the utterly repudiated Steele dossier comes as a surprise. But it’s instructive about the media that he keeps taking craps right on their faces over it and they just lick their lips and carry on.
Watch as Chuck Todd brings it up and Schiffty doesn’t even squirm while defending the indefensible.
During an appearance on NBC News’ "Meet the Press" on Sunday, Schiff was confronted with some of his past claims hyping the validity of the dossier and was asked by host Chuck Todd whether he regrets "giving some credibility to the Steele dossier before anybody had been able to verify anything in it."
"I don't regret saying that we should investigate claims of someone who, frankly, was a well-respected British intelligence officer," Schiff responded. "And we couldn’t have known, of course, years ago that we would learn years later that someone who is a primary source lied to him."
"[Igor] Danchenko lied to Christopher Steele and then lied to the FBI," Schiff said. "He should be prosecuted. He is being prosecuted. And I'll tell you this, if he's convicted, he should not be pardoned the way Donald Trump pardoned people who lied to FBI agents, like Roger Stone and Mike Flynn. There ought to be the same standard in terms of prosecuting the liars. But I don't think there ought to be any pardon, no matter which way the lies cut."
Schiff made similar comments last week on ABC’s "The View," saying his team "couldn't have known" that Danchenko, the Russian analyst believed to have been the dossier's primary sub-source, had allegedly lied to Steele.
Durham, who was appointed by the Trump administration to investigate the origins of the Russia investigation, charged Danchenko earlier this month with making false statements to the FBI.
The 35-page dossier – controversially published in its raw form in 2017 by BuzzFeed News – alleged that former President Trump colluded with Russia to win the 2016 presidential election over Hillary Clinton and claimed that the Kremlin had blackmail material on the former president, including a tape of prostitutes urinating on him in a Moscow hotel.

The dossier, which has been thoroughly debunked, including by Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation, served as the basis for Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrants against Trump campaign aide Carter Page, and it was originally commissioned by a research firm hired by Hillary Clinton's campaign lawyer Marc Elias.
Danchenko’s Nov. 3 arrest has prompted fresh criticism of the Democrats, including Schiff, who promoted the dossier as credible in recent years.
Um who hired Steele? He was not a FBI agent or acting in official capacity as a US Intelligence officer. Not far off from asking a random person to provide accurate information. The ethical question is was money paid to investigate or was money paid to come up with something the client wanted to hear.
Considering the level this reached, this should be considered espionage and a few dozen other charges.
Isn't it Schiff's job to verify the accuracy of the evidence he is presenting in a court case, or impeachment? I would think he would be concerned that case would fall apart if the evidence was proven false.
Oh wait, I forgot, Schiff knew the whole impeachment was political circus to make the "Bad Orange Man" go away so he didn't need to verify anything.
Schiff is the reflection of the District he comes from that will elect him again despite the lies and misrepresentations he pushed on the American people, after all he's from California, the people that can't unload a ship, can't prevent a forest fire much less fight one, have more homeless on the streets than four or five other states combined, shut off the water to some of the richest farmland in the country and now have exhausted their water supply with mindless building. They deserve Schiff and he them, what the rest of us need to do is give a majority to the Republicans to render him silent.
Schiff is acting like that he was just investigating a regular citizen for a simple crime, and if he made a mistake then it is not a big deal, but he was investigating The President of United States, and trying to remove him from presidency, and that was not a mistake when he lied about the truthiness of the dossier. The damage that Schiff has done to America cannot be repaired.
This is typical and we've seen this before. It's a way of trying to make people agree with him that his crime was no big deal by legitimizing it. He needs a long prison stretch of at least ten years.
NBC News correspondent Yamiche Alcindor worried Democrats would have a difficult time making Americans "care" and pay attention to the January 6 hearings, amid high gas prices, inflation, and a baby formula shortage. Appearing in a MSNBC panel Monday, Alcindor told host Andrea Mitchell that the "biggest challenge" the January 6 House Select Committee faced was getting Americans to have the same level of concern for their investigation. "I think the biggest challenge for lawmakers here as they talk about these sort of huge ideas of American democracy and sort of the experiment that we’re all living and benefiting from possibly being brought to his knees is whether or not they can make people care, Andrea," she said.

Chris Cuomo and Don Lemon discuss President Donald Trump's comments about race after the 2019 Oscars. Be nice if Spike Lee could read his notes, or better yet not have to use notes at all, when doing his racist hit on your President, who has done more for African Americans (Criminal Justice Reform, Lowest Unemployment numbers in History, Tax Cuts,etc.) than almost any other Pres! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 25, 2019 The left loves to hate on Trump, calling him a racist and what not. I know Trump can be juvenile sometimes – certainly – but the racist and hateful name-calling is just what it is, garbage.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez scrambled Sunday to explain why neighbors at her listed Bronx address never saw her there — and ended up claiming she recently relocatedto a larger place nearby. The day after The Post reported that residents said they had never seen her around — and she ducked questions about it after an appearance — her spokesman said the Democratic freshman congresswoman now lives with her boyfriend in a two-bedroom apartment “a block and a half away.’’ The pair relocated there earlier this month, he said. “She lives in the same neighborhood she’s lived in for years,” said the spokesman, Corbin Trent. “She is not living in the exact same condo.’’ The recent move still didn’t explain why residents at her previous digs — a one-bedroom Bronx condo owned by her mom — insisted they had never seen her there. U.S. reps and senators are required to have a residence in their home districts. Trent claimed that Ocasio-Cortez, 29, was at her new home Sunday afternoon, al
