Rep. Adam Schiff deems claims Trump campaign was spied on ‘nonsense’

Rep. Adam Schiff says the idea that the Trump campaign was spied on by the Justice Department is “nonsense.”

“The most I can tell you, Chuck, is that this claim by the president, the suggestion by [Rudy] Giuliani that there is a political spy embedded in the Trump campaign is nonsense,” Mr. Schiff told NBC’s Chuck Todd on “Meet the Press.” “And you hear it in the same terms that Trump often speaks, which is ‘people are saying,’ or ‘I’m hearing,’ or ‘we’re being told.’ That’s another way of saying, ‘This is patently untrue, but we would like to spread it anyway.’ And it’s singularly destructive of our institutions, but then that’s the point.”

Multiple reports have identified University of Cambridge Professor Stefan Halper as an informant who worked for the FBI to snoop on the Trump presidential campaign.

I can’t believe anybody takes anything Adam Schiff says seriously.

“Do we have anyone who is not compromised to do the prosecuting?”

Seems to me that this is the biggest hurdle we face!

[Jimmy Valentine]

Sorry Shiffhead. The toothpaste is out of the tube.

How can you be so sure, Adam? Ahem.

Isn’t this the he same thing they said when Trump alleged they wire tapped him?

Shifter Brains is losing it

[frnewsjunkie]

Ya’ just want to smack him!!!

Tim Kaine eyes also. Very psychotic looking.

It is based on leaks to NYT and WaPo. Are you saying leaks to these “newspapers” are false, Adam? Including yours?

that there is a political spy embedded in the Trump campaign is nonsense (underline added)

For the hyper-technical Schiff, it's a question of the meaning of 'is'. (Isn't that just too cute--by half!)

Shiff should be taken down with the other criminals for being their lying mouthpiece. I would love to see that douchebag in prison. The train behind him would circle the block.

There is (was) no spy and Chuck Schumer says it may be illegal to reveal his name.

[Tucker39]

Yes. Swalwell. Rhymes with Falwell; And the congressman is not worthy to carry any one of the Falwells’ jockstrap.

[The_Media_never_lie]

Chuck Todd is a Democrat operative. Schiff should come on Fox News and be interviewed by a not sycophant journalist.

How much longer will it take for EVERYONE to realize the "Trump Collusion Investigation" is nothing more then a FIREWALL DISTRACTION that is keeping the focus OFF of HILLARY and unnecessarily onto Trump.

The longer the FOCUS is misplaced the lesser the chance that justice will ever be carried out.

But his homoerotic partners were real - which is why they died prematurely.

Everything Adam says smells like Schiff!

Amen, I don’t remember him ever making a sane statement.

[Freedom_Is_Not_Free]

The most notorious liar in Congress chimes in. If his lips are moving, he’s lyin.

No spy, just a good old boy, roommate of Bill Clinton, the Rhodes Scholar, at Oxford back in the day.

Never mind that he was paid covertly by our CIA $1.2M over the last 7 years. Right, not a spy.

Can’t reveal his name? Just like Valerie Plame—an opportunity to bankrupt another right-winger on a process “crime.”
