Full title: Here's Who Jason Chaffetz Believes Should Lose Their Security Clearance Over The Mueller Investigation

Former Chairman of the House Oversight Committee and Fox News contributor Jason Chaffetz (R) said he believes House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) needs to resign from the committee and have his security clearance revoked.

Despite the Mueller report showing President Donald Trump did not collude with Russia, Schiff has gone on various TV shows saying there is "evidence" that actually proves that finding to be false. Of course, Schiff continually pushes that narrative but has absolutely nothing to back up claim.

“I think what [Rep. Schiff] should do is lose his security clearance-- without a security clearance he can't serve on the committee. To lose the trust, albeit on the other side of the aisle, I have never seen,” Chaffetz told said during "Trish Regan Primetime" on Thursday.

Chaffetz believes this is a direct reflection of Schiff's leadership (or lack thereof). He said that although he was part of many contentious hearings, there was always decorum, something Schiff clearly lacks.

“Look at the way the committee operated before, with [Democratic Congressman and former House Intel Committee Chair] Dutch Ruppersberger. We have never had this problem," Chaffetz explained. "And look in the Senate—with Mark Warner [Democrat and Vice Chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee]. We don't have these problems except with Adam Schiff. I don’t think he should be the Chairman, and I don’t think he should have a security clearance.”

Chaffetz reminded viewers that the Trump campaign had multiple opportunities to take Russia up on their intelligence on Democratic candidates but they refused yet Schiff has continually ran with the idea that the campaign did use Russia's information.

"Schiff has been signing this song for two years, it's full of lies, he's lost people's trust and this is the Intel Committee. It's not supposed to be the political arm of the DNC [Democratic National Committee]," Chaffetz concluded.

Chaffetz is the latest to call on Schiff to step down from the Intelligence Committee. Nine Republicans sent a letter calling for him to resign, Kellyanne Conway has said he needs to resign, and President Trump has echoed those sentiments.

If Adam Schiff had information concerning the degree and kind of “collusion” that Team Trump had with the Russian Federation at any level, it was incumbent and absolutely obligatory that he should have shared that information with the Mueller investigatory team. Ir is not as if he could not get into contact with them at any time, nor would he have been rebuffed if he has just showed up at their door with the “proof” he claims to have. But there WAS no such “proof”, and Adam Schiff made no effort whatsoever to contact the Mueller team.

Liar on at least two levels already, and we have not even gotten into the content of the imaginary “claims”.

Does “Put up or shut up” mean nothing at all to this clown?

Joe McCarthy, all those years ago, actually DID find some Communists who had infiltrated both the Department of the Army and the State Department. Yet see how horribly he was excoriated and sharply censured by his fellow Senators and much of the press, and his name is forever linked with”“McCarthyism”, a sick view of overzealous and sometimes indiscriminate hurling of charges that may have had basis in fact, but took on alarming proportions.

Only, Joe McCarthy had far more basis for his accusations than ever Adam Schiff has come up with, making what Congressman Schiff is doing so much worse than what Senator McCarthy ever did.

Is the term “Schiffism” about to enter the lexicon for truly over-the-top accusations with no basis in fact, and calumny in a grand scale, repeated over and over?

Everyone involved in defrauding the FISA court needs to be fired and imprisoned. Next to murder it’s the most heinous crime a law enforcement officer can commit. Hopefully the court will examine these applications with a little more skepticism henceforth, having learned that the FBI can no longer be trusted.

You’re absolutely right, Schiff has not turned over nor shown one iota of evidence to anyone that he continues to rant on about.

“Schiffism” has a nice ring to it or maybe “Schiffheadism.”

Trey Gowdy says Schiff leaks worse than a screen door on a submarine & it would not surprise him if, at some point, the CIA refuses to brief/share info with him because of it.

Ol’ Pencil Neck was MIGHTY upset the other day after getting the letter from the Repubs about stepping down. He was emotional & looking unhinged .... in the process of a mental breakdown after the Mueller report dashed his delusions, IMO. Someone should check his garbage .... they’ll probably find the remnants of some Mueller candles [http://rocketpictures.net/candle/ ] in there.

Ha, I saw that about what Gowdy said and I’m sure he’s right.

I’ve no doubt that Schiff has some mental problems and they started long before this Mueller investigation began, the investigation has only exacerbated the problem.

May as well start my own rumors:

My understanding is Adam Schiff is a flaming homosexual and rumor has it Schiff and Uncle Joe Biden have been intimate and have enjoyed threesomes with Michael Obama or Michelle if that’s it’s/her/name and there’s also undeniable evidence that Chuck Schumer may have had an affair with Schiff. There’s also a movie that’s been banned from whoever allowed it on Twitter, Facebook and You Tube in the first place before it was banned that shows the Elijah Cummings doing just that to Adam Schiff and both were wearing a Klan outfits with Cummings wering Whiteface and Schiff in Blackface.

Meanwhile, Nancy Pelosi has also burned carpet with Diane Fienstein while watching videos of AOC describing the Green New Deal. This has been proven to true based on post from QANON.

And we haven’t even brought up his association with Ed Buck .... or other “situations” that the LA Times has reported .....

Maybe Adam Schiff should investigate his donors before he goes after Trump

having learned that the FBI can no longer be trusted.

When is someone (DJT) going to clean out the FBI and others? Or is it the seven ways to Sunday to destroy someone that the wise Schumer warned Trump about?

The thought of a homegrown spy group using weapons and legal means to destroy or blackmail or subvert any American in or out of the elected government is astonishingly ugly and dangerous.

Our problem: no matter how much a conspiracy sounds like it came from “Tom Clancy’s nightmare after eating a bad burrito” (line by Stephen Coonts) and how absurd it seems that “Carlos Danger” Weiner was once actually elected by voters in NY and could gain access to Huma and Hillary’s top secret laptop government stuff at home while waiting for his indictment and imprisonment and thus subject to blackmail——that kind of story turned out to be true.

So, anything goes.

Yeah that's not going to happen.

TALKING POINTS---Pres Trump must act to remove Adam Schiff's security clearance and demand that Schiff resign from the committee.

Adam Schiff chairs the House Intel Committee. He is privy to info that directly impacts the safety and security of Americans.

Schiff is not looking out for Americans. He is using the intel committee to advance the political agenda of the DNC.

Those judges are so far unconcerned a out having been scammed. Same with John Roberts their supervisor.

I’m assuming their crooked deep state agents.

Adam Schiff played people like Chuck Todd for fools...

It’d be funny if we pretended there might be something in the full report - and set up the journalist twits for another fall...

I mean on page 324 at the bottom, Roger Stone admitted the whole Russian story... /s right?

Baumann is about two weeks behind what we FR posters have written as to who should lose their security clearances.

Schiff is high up the totem pole but more dangerous is Brennan, Clapper, McCabe, Yates, Weissmann, Strzok-Page, Ohrs, Baker, Priestap (maybe), Holder/Lynch, Obama and his counselor, the woman, Comey (I think he lost his already), then half the Democrats in Congress.

Make they security clearance eunuchs, for life.

“Joe McCarthy, all those years ago, actually DID find some Communists...”

I’ve read that after time and study, ALL of McCarthy’s allegations have turned out to be true.
