Rep Schiff has been lurking in the shadows licking his wounds since he failed to get Trump impeached twice. But now that the Left is claiming the Steele Dossier should never have been treated as legitimate, Schiff is being called upon to answer for his slander. So NBC’s Chuck Todd gave Rep Schiff the opportunity to explain why he was so adamant about the Steele Dossier and Trump. But instead of accepting the reality of the situation and admitting he was wrong, Schiff claimed he was right at the time.
“During an appearance on NBC News’ “Meet the Press” on Sunday, Schiff was confronted with some of his past claims hyping the validity of the dossier and was asked by host Chuck Todd whether he regrets “giving some credibility to the Steele dossier before anybody had been able to verify anything in it.”
“I don’t regret saying that we should investigate claims of someone who, frankly, was a well-respected British intelligence officer,” Schiff responded. “And we couldn’t have known, of course, years ago that we would learn years later that someone who is a primary source lied to him.”
“[Igor] Danchenko lied to Christopher Steele and then lied to the FBI,” Schiff said. “He should be prosecuted. He is being prosecuted. And I’ll tell you this, if he’s convicted, he should not be pardoned the way Donald Trump pardoned people who lied to FBI agents, like Roger Stone and Mike Flynn. There ought to be the same standard in terms of prosecuting the liars. But I don’t think there ought to be any pardon, no matter which way the lies cut.”
But really this is typical of Rep Schiff. He’s slimy. When he was the impeachment manager he claimed anyone that didn’t vote to impeach Trump was part of the rigged system while he failed to present any evidence that would fit the charges House Dems brought forth.
