Democrats’ dishonest scramble to disown the Trump ‘dossier’
NY Post ^ | Jan 04, 2018 | Paul Sperry

Democrats have been quoting from the infamous anti-Trump “Steele dossier” as if it were gospel, but now that Hillary Clinton has been revealed as its paymaster and a Hillary-friendly FBI is under investigation for possibly launching the Trump-Russia “collusion” probe under its false pretenses, they are suddenly in full retreat from it.

Their credibility is in tatters along with the discredited document.

Rep. Adam Schiff, who’s led the Democrats’ “collusion” inquisition as vice chair of the House Intelligence Committee, fully embraced the dossier from the moment the panel kicked off a public hearing in March with then-FBI Director James Comey. The California Dem eagerly read into the record its unfounded criminal accusations against Trump campaign advisers.

Since then, Schiff has dramatically changed his tune to one of caution and even regret: “I certainly would have liked to know who paid for it earlier.”

And he admits it “still remains to be seen” if the gossip against former Trump adviser Carter Page he read aloud and broadcast to the world, with McCarthyite relish, is actually true. In a recent closed-door meeting with Schiff, Page denied under oath the dossier’s claim that he met with two Kremlin officials to end US sanctions on Russia in exchange for bribes.

Also beating a hasty retreat from the dossier is Rep. Jim Himes (D-Conn.), a colleague of Schiff’s on the House intelligence committee.

“There may very well be errors in the dossier,” Himes conceded Wednesday to CNN, even though he had also cited the document repeatedly and vouched for its contents.

Over in the Senate, Democrat Mark Warner, who’s been leading the effort in that chamber to frame Trump as a Kremlin-backed traitor, is suddenly having reservations about the dossier he previously touted.

Democrats don't care if the dossier is the truth or one big lie. All they care about is running out the clock.

The biggest cheerleader of the Russian collusion is Chuckie Schumer, seconded only by Nazi Pelousey

These guys are a Conga-Line of morons.
* Adam Schif For Brains - mentally ill beyond repair
* Jim Himes - don’t know anything about him but being from Connecticut and a Democrat pretty much says it all.
* Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va) - a few brain cells short of an imbecile and a babbling, illiterate one at that.

What else can you say about the Democrats of today except, to quote the famous Dean Wormser of Faber College,
“Being treacherous, stupid and a psychopath is no way to go through life, Congressthings!”

Democrats are inveterate deniers of reality and truth. Like a drunk, who after a week long binge and who has burnt down half the house, wrecked the family car, lost yet another job and been bailed out of jail says ‘’Ah, well, that’s that and on to our next booze up!’’ they will never earn form their self-induced, nation damaging destructive behavior..

Yes, the Democrats will string this out until the mid-terms. Since they have been exposed for pushing a phony document, they are shifting gears. The two most recent prongs of their efforts to unseat the President and overturn his election are (1) the investigation started because of the drunken but truthful comments to the Australian diplomat, and/or (2) the President is mentally unfit to serve. No doubt the echo-chamber media will help them keep these narratives going until November.
