Here we go again... more "boy who cried wolf" crap from EVERYONE'S favorite rep (NOT!) Adam Schiff. You better pay attention cause he sure does deliver... on the biased and unfounded accusations he makes.
“Schiff, who chairs the House Intelligence Committee, used a New York Times article from late August to draft a six-page letter demanding inspectors general at the Justice Department and in the intelligence committee investigate allegations that former Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein hampered the FBI’s counterintelligence investigation into President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign,” reports The Daily Wire.
The main issue? Schiff's letter relies vigorously on data from New York Times correspondent Michael Schmidt. Schmidt was effective in turning his writing about the Mueller report and it's examination a bestselling book, yet he wasn't so fruitful in making sure about actual realities. Surely, his focal case – that Rosenstein and the Justice Department forestalled " investigators from finishing an assessment of President Trump's long term individual and business binds to Russia" – has been everything but debunked.
We're not saying it's been "debunked" by President Trump and his nearby partners, as you may have assumed. We're not by any means depending on William Barr. We're discussing dedicated, Never Trump authorities from inside the Justice Department – none of whom would have any motivation to dismiss Schmidt's theories even on the off chance that it had even a sliver of truth. These individuals have everything to gain from a story that says, Oh, we would have nailed that person on the off chance that we had the option to escape these cuffs. But then, they state that Schmidt's detailing has no legitimacy.
“During the time I worked at the Special Counsel’s Office, I didn’t feel such a limitation,” former FBI special agent Peter Strzok told The Atlantic. “When I discussed this with Mueller and others, it was agreed that FBI personnel attached to the Special Counsel’s Office would do the counterintelligence work, which necessarily included the president. But that’s an extraordinarily complex task, one of the most difficult counterintelligence investigations in the FBI’s history.”
What about Mueller investigator Andrew Weissman?
“NYT story today is wrong re: alleged secret DOJ order prohibiting a counterintelligence investigation by Mueller, ‘without telling the bureau.’ Dozens of FBI agents/analysts were embedded in Special Counsel’s Office and we were never told to keep anything from them,” Weissmann said.
However, honestly, the greatest dismissal of Schmidt's reporting is the Times' own examinations concerning Trump, none of which have turned up even the smallest shred proof – the SLIGHTEST proof – that Trump is in sell to Moscow.
Pity this man. He is pitiful.
