Senator Rand Paul mocked Rep Adam Schiff on Twitter over his blatant abuse of power where it appears he violated the civil rights of Rep Nunes and many others in his attempt to gain evidence to impeach Trump. This tweet relates to how Schiff admitted to getting the phone records of many people that are not thought to be relevant to the impeachment case, including Sean Hannity and Rep Devin Nunes.
“On the heels of the Senate impeachment trial of President Donald Trump, Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) trolled leading pro-impeachment Democrat Adam Schiff, chairman of the House Intelligence Committee.
“An anonymous ‘whistleblower’ informs us that this was found in a hotel room that [Rep. Adam Schiff] recently check out of. Hmmm…,” Senator Paul captioned a mock photo of a note.
“Things to do,” the fake note reads, “Remember to tap Devin Nunes phone.

In early December, the House Intelligence Committee “released a report on the impeachment inquiry which included records of calls from Nunes, presidential lawyers Rudy Giuliani and Jay Sekulow, journalist John Solomon, Fox News host Sean Hannity, a Giuliani connection Lev Parnas, and other White House associates,” Fox News reported at the time. “Schiff subpoenaed both AT&T and Verizon for the information. The act has sent a chill among Republicans concerned about the chairman’s reach.”
Rep. Nunes commented about how it was a civil rights violation and the dangerous precedent it sets.
“They have now set a precedent where Adam Schiff can go get any phone number he has to AT&T and AT&T is going to comply,” the congressman explained, according to Fox.
Schiff likely overreached as he is a big-time Trump hater. He tried as hard as he could to use the Mueller Report to takedown Trump and it seemed he never fully accepted that the Mueller Report was the dud, even after the rest of the Dems did. But there is no telling how far Schiff would go to try and impeach Trump, the hate is strong in this one.
Now Rand does sound like a person trying to cover for his own ignorance, when the Whistle Blower law is on the books and the Whistle Blower followed them to the letter. Now in every state in the USA, we have what is called the Anonymous reporting law, where if you think a crime is being comnmitted or has been committed you are to report it ANONYMOUSLY, and you do not have to give any information except what you think is going on, you do not have to have direst knowledge in any way, so why would someone in the Federal employ not be the same, the Whistle Blower is not your accuser the people who investigate are your accuser.
It does make one wonder how we can have so many people in high places who are so ignorant of the laws of this USA.
What whistle blower there never was one Schiff is full of shit.
That does not apply to federal government whistleblowers. There is no promise of anonymity but there is the guarantee of being free from retribution (ha ha). Besides, these people do not qualify because they have and had no first hand direct knowledge. Everything they offered was rumor, second and third hand information, based on “I heard from someone else”. You DO have to have direct knowledge.
Except this is different. HE wasn’t in the room when it supposedly happened. And, this is the PRESIDENT! Not some break & enter crook. They NEVER had any proof, just hearsay. And, the Constitution gives a person the RIGHT to confront their accuser. Whistle Blowers have a different set of rules to protect them, but when/if they go to court. the accuser faces the accused.
As you take in Sen. Rand Paul’s attempted smear of Rep. Adam Schiff, remember Paul was found to be a plagiarist. So he’s unreliable for information and news about nearly everything. Rep. Schiff was duly elected; he was duly appointed Chair of the House Intel Committee; he followed law and procedures of the House investigating Trump lawbreaking and un-Constitutional behavior; he followed orders becoming Senate ‘prosecutor’ of Trump for impeachment. Paul has nothing real to say about abuse of power by Schiff.
The democrats don’t know the first thing about the Constitution they’re so corrupt.
Schiff made up the rules for his kangaroo hearings as he went along.
Schitt is an asshole
Schiff will go to hell for his transgressions! We will help speed the process every opportunity !
CROOKED A DAM SHI** – SHIFF.
Pencilneck? He wouldn’t do that, would he. After all, he’s so clever. NOT!
