Congressional fabulist

 Steve Hilton:

Republican Congressman George Santos is rightly in the middle of a media and political storm over his astonishing series of lies about everything from his career experience to his family history. It surely can’t be long before this ludicrous fabulist is booted out of public life for good.

But there’s another congressional fabulist whose lies are far more serious and who isn’t facing nearly the same level of scrutiny: Adam Schiff.

Schiff is the Santos of the Democratic Party - only much more dangerous. His deceptions are part of a far-reaching, left-wing establishment scheme to corrupt Big Tech and America’s intelligence and law enforcement agencies to serve the Democrats.

This has all been confirmed by the Twitter Files, a series of reports from independent journalists, who were given exclusive access to the company’s internal communications

Schiff, his party, and their media puppets lecture everyone endlessly about “our democracy.” Turns out, they’ve been the ones undermining it.

The Twitter revelations have come so thick and fast that Americans have barely had time to process them. As a result, one of the biggest scandals in U.S. history seems to be slipping by with zero accountability for the guilty parties.

Until now.

This week, Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy ejected Schiff from the powerful House Intelligence Committee, which oversees the FBI and other federal agencies with the ability to peer into the private lives of Americans.

Predictably, the mainstream media has characterized Schiff’s ousting as ‘political vengeance’. The New York Times called it, ‘a much-anticipated tit-for-tat.’

Of course, they would.

Schiff’s removal is not only justified, it is imperative if government is to restore any semblance of trust with the American people after years of deception.

It started in 2016.

We now know, thanks to Special Counsel John Durham, that the FBI worked in close coordination with Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign to create a false narrative of ‘Trump/Russia collusion.’ When cracks in the Russia hoax began to emerge, Schiff intervened to paper them over.

In 2018, Republican Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee Devin Nunes submitted to Congress a memo laying out the FBI’s abuses in the creation of the Russia Collusion narrative. He exposed the agency for repeatedly relying on, ‘politically motivated or questionable sources’ to obtain a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrant to spy on Trump campaign adviser Carter Page in 2016.

Subsequent investigations by the Department of Justice Inspector General, as well as the Durham Inquiry, have validated the memo as truthful and accurate. But Schiff tried to block its release.

After initial reports on the memo, and before it was made public, there were demands for it to be published - including a viral Twitter hashtag #ReleaseTheMemo.

Schiff immediately claimed that this hashtag was being pushed by “Russian bots and trolls” in an attempt to “manipulate public opinion.”

In reality, Schiff was the true source of misinformation.

In Twitter Files, #14, we can see that Twitter investigated the claims of Russia manipulation and found it to be 100%false.

Despite being told this, Schiff and other top Democrats continued to make the claim. Twitter did nothing to correct the record, and so the mainstream media simply amplified false information. Nunes was discredited and the revelations he unearthed largely ignored.

But Schiff’s nefarious influence didn’t end there.

The Twitter Files have also revealed that he attempted to leverage his authority to compel Twitter to censor accounts that mocked President Biden and ban journalists Schiff didn’t like.
...

Thankfully Elon Musk has exposed much of the politics of fraud by Democrats and their allies in old Twitter.  It is appropriate that Schiff is no longer on the intel committee.  We may find out whether California voters want someone like Schiff as their Senator.  The US would be better off without such people in politics.
