Now that Schiff’s staff has confirmed that they were in touch with the gossip — whistleblower — but claim they had nothing to do with writing the bogus complaint, it’s time for Graham and other Republican Senate committee chairmen to start issuing their subpoenas to Schiff and his staff. I’d like all communications between Schiff and any other Dems with the ‘whistleblower’ before the complaint was filed. I’d also like to see all communications between Dems and the Intelligence Community IG particularly with respect to changing the complaint form to allow hearsay as the basis for a complaint. Also require the IG to explain under what authority he was investigating a hearsay complaint about the President.
Seriously, it’s time to go to war on this nonsense. Think of the embarrassment when Schiff has to stonewall Senate subpoenas! Quit playing nice and recognize reality. You’ve got to take the offensive.
Lastly when this is all over, Trump needs to remove the IG. The complaint was not within his purview and not covered by the statute. After being told so by DOJ and that it did not raise an urgent concern that needed to be reported to Congress, he did it anyway. He is part of this scam and needs to be shown the door.
