Schiff's latest hoax is in secret because it is so flimsy

Adam Mill:

...
The Ukraine farce, led by Representative Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) (why, exactly?), annoyed Trump initially. But the president has since turned the story to his advantage because of the conspirators’ many fumbles.

Trump’s rallies now feature lacerating sarcasm at Schiff’s expense. In contrast, the plotters have had to stretch and distort their original story to bridge the gap that emerged after the release of the Trump/Ukraine call transcript.

“Never drop the con. Die with the lie.” Nicky Spurgeon once said. So, even though we can easily see the magically disappearing rabbit slithering out of his pant-leg, Schiff continues to pretend we need even more whistleblowers to tell us what’s in a publicly available transcript. We can read exactly what was said during the call.

Why does Schiff insist on dropping more hints about a secret that has already been revealed? The answer, of course, is that the Schiff script calls for a calculated series of drip-drip-drips to keep his face on television in the hope that perhaps you will believe the spin instead of your lying eyes.

Like the amateur screenwriter he is, Schiff evidently coached the “whistleblower” before sending him to the intelligence community’s inspector general. Reciting his lines with near perfection, the whistleblower nevertheless forgot to disclose that he and Schiff had already met to strategize how best to leverage the complaint into an advantage in the 2020 presidential election. Well, maybe the whistleblower didn’t forget because Schiff then lied about having any contact with the “whistleblower.”

For that claim, the Washington Post awarded Schiff four Pinocchios. People who have good facts are careful with them. That’s the lesson taught by the fable of “the boy who cried wolf.” Schiff is not careful with his facts and should never again be in charge of hunting wolves. Oh, and now it turns out that the “whistleblower,” worked for former Vice President Joe Biden and traveled to Ukraine with him.

The transcript of the call between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky does not provide evidence of a crime or abuse of power. Without a “crime” to report, this is just a CIA employee’s leak of a confidential diplomatic communication to meddle in next year’s election—which is a clear abuse of power. I’m trying to remember the last story I read about the CIA that didn’t involve leaking to meddle in U.S. domestic politics. A spy agency using its secrets to interfere with domestic elections: That’s the road to tyranny.

Schiff has compounded his lying and underhanded plotting by running a kangaroo proceeding that compares unfavorably to the due process of the Salem Witch Trials. Secret proceedings, secret even from the accused president’s attorneys, allow Schiff to spoon-feed selective leaks to the colluding media. House Resolution 803 authorizing the impeachment investigation of President Nixon passed 410-4. Schiff’s “impeachment inquiry” defies three House votes not to impeach President Trump.

Democrats have tried to justify these Star Chamber like questioning by comparing to a deposition, but in a real deposition both sides are present and allowed to answer questions.  Schiff's spotty credibility contines to deteriate as he tries to justify his coup attempt.
