Schiff 'vehemently' disagrees with Attorney General Garland's reluctance to pursue Trump

 :jerkit:

Quote
In unusually pointed comments about a member of President Biden’s Cabinet, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff says he “vehemently” disagrees with Attorney General Merrick Garland’s failure so far to aggressively investigate former President Donald Trump for his efforts to overturn the 2020 election and other matters.

Appearing Tuesday on the Yahoo News “Skullduggery” podcast, the California Democrat was asked about the Garland Justice Department’s reluctance to launch investigations of the former president based on the 2018 report by former special counsel Robert Mueller that spelled out Trump’s efforts to obstruct the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election. In a new book, “Midnight in Washington: How We Almost Lost Our Democracy and Still Could,” Schiff writes that he viewed Mueller’s report as providing “a factual basis to charge the president with multiple crimes of obstruction.”

“I think there's a real desire on the part of the attorney general, for the most part, not to look backward,” Schiff said in response. “Do I disagree with that? I do disagree with that, and I disagree with it most vehemently when it comes to what I consider even more serious offenses. For example, a taped conversation of Donald J. Trump on the phone with Brad Raffensperger, the secretary of state from Georgia, trying to coerce him into fraudulently finding 11,780 votes.

“Because I think if you or I did that, we'd be under indictment by now,” Schiff added. “In my view, you don't ignore the crimes that have been committed by a president of the United States. They need to be investigated. You may reach the judgment once you've investigated something that the public interest in not prosecuting a former president outweighs the interests of justice. But I don't think you could ignore the crimes.”

2. Someone

Here needs to explain to the good Congressman that he doesn't know what AG Garland is up to and he should stay quiet and not question their methods.

4. If Garland is actively investigating Trump's crimes, we'll know by what Schiff now does.

Because Schiff has now placed himself in a position to receive a phone call from someone at DOJ telling him what the DOJ is actually doing. We no longer hear from Schiff that he's concerned about the conjectured reluctance to pursue Trump if Schiff is told that things are moving along. Schiff will then quiet down because he's not prone to putting on theatrics if he knows something.

That damned "Look forward, not back" strategy that is why we are where we are.

Every time Republicans have attacked the Constitution and the American stability with their crimes, they have gotten away with it because of this "strategy."

This is Garland’s way of saying, "Sh-h-h-h-h! It was really us!"
According to the Bible, "know" means "yes."

Adam Schifforbrains should be charged with obstruction of justice. After all he claimed to have evidence of the crimes he claimed Trump committed. By withholding that evidence, he is aiding and abetting and obstructing justice. :cheersmate:

And AlGore the Wooden.

Schifftyroo could not name a single thing Trump actually did that was illegal. He's just pissed that Shampeachment 1.0 failed, Shampeachment 2.0 failed, and the FBI investigation of 1/6 found it was utterly unorganized - not by political organizers, not by Trump.

I'm tempted to suggest that Garland is less dishonest and delusional than Schifftyroo - which he may be - but unlike Schifftyroo and his Kongressional Kangaroo Kourts, Garland would have to present actual evidence of an actual crime before a judge who could dismiss the case as groundless. Garland might even be smart enough to realize - something Schifftyroo clearly is not - that such an abject defeat would be a yuge PR win for Trump.

In his desperate attempt to get out in front of something that hasn't even happened yet, Schiff makes himself look even more stupid. This matter hasn't even been presented before the House for a vote, much less be sent to the DOJ, and already this whacko is decrying that Garland has dropped it.

Anyone who's been called to testify to this farce committee has every right to appeal their appearance on legal grounds. And even if it doesn't work, Bannon will plead the 5th which is not an admittance of guilt, though the left will portray it that way. Won't work.

Besides, the only people paying attention to this whole charade are LW dimwits and those who are laughing at them.

Adam Schitt is still hung up on Russiagate? There's a shock. If he wants Garland to after Trump for that then Schitt ought to provide the evidence that claims he's had for years. I'm sure it'd go a long way to help things. Or conversely, he can STFU and move on because Russiagate been disproven over and over. I swear the only people who still believe it happened are Schitt, Rachel Maddow, and DUmmies. Damn that a trifecta of stupid if I've ever seen one.  :thatsright:

I don't know that he pushes me that far - the baby seals din'du nuffin, after all - but he definitely makes "gay bashing" -with real cudgels- more enticing every time he opens his cock holster.

I used to go clubbing with seals. They're surprisingly good dancers. You'd think EDM and flippers wouldn't work well together but they managed to pull it off.
