    Schiff Abuses Power In His Maniacal Pursuit Of Charges Of Trump Abusing Power

    The principal charge against Trump by Democrats is that he used government resources to gather derogatory information on his political opponent, yet Adam Schiff has unilaterally done exactly that using his power of subpoena to gather the phone records of his counterpart on his Intelligence Committee and the President’s personal attorney and at least one journalist for his personal political advantage without yielding the same reciprocal power for Nunes to capture his, Schiff’s, own telephone records.

    Hypocrisy on steroids.

    According to Nunes, Schiff issued the secret subpoenas without ever identifying the targets and giving any opportunity to respond or object, then released the telephone logs in his public referral to the House Judiciary Committee.

    Sounds like a good game of "gotcha"

    Always good to know where people stand. Wait long enough and they will tell you.

    Frankly, I have to laugh at the silly dramas being acted out on both sides---if not to laugh I'd have to cry.

    Same here. Both sides are a disgrace, but the voters don't care enough to do anything about it.

    Excellent analogy, Billy, and as Mike pointed out, all sides are truly disgraceful...By "sides" I refer to the organized political gangs who only act to further and retain their power over the American public...This is why I no longer vote according to a candidate's political affiliation, but only by word and deed......Ben

    Back to Joe's point it is frankly chilling to know that a committee chairman in Congress can subpoena random phone records of his fellow Congress persons, witnesses before Congress ect. All with no warrant or Court approval. More disturbing is that ATT freely gave him the records without uttering a peep of protest. Scary folks, downright scary.

    So here we have a representative and several senators, a private lawyer, a couple of foreign money funnelers and a fired editor who all have better investigative abilities than say, the FBI or DOJ even if Barr has decided his own ppl are mistaken. We are to believe these guys have evidence that they just aren't sharing.. and in fact don't even care about. No one wanted results from an investigation, just an announcement of an investigation, from Ukraine's president. Mmmm So that was quashed by a whistleblower and they give up the jig and hand over the money.. to.. a country they claim is too corrupt.. and then brag about how much military gear we've sent them before now, highlighting it's so much more than Obama sent.. but the corruption..? So right now, Rudy is huddled in Kiev with all the ousted, so called corrupt, powers of the old Ukrainian government, trying to get a documentary made and have them say on film that the Bidens are dirty and Ukraine hacked the DNC.. for a conservative cable access station.. for nothing more than all the mouthbreathers to go forth and repeat their "proof" .. huh yeah

    Actually someone should tell Rand, what's really outrageous is Nunes sitting in hearings knowing full well that he was involved with Giuliani and Parnas in the efforts to oust the Ambassador who was testifying in front of him.

    The prima facie corruption of the Bidens pocketing untold million$ from Ukraine & Red China must never be questioned or investigated because it was foreign based. Wha???
