If you still don’t understand exactly how power-mad the Democrats in congress truly are, will the fact that they are now spying on and doxxing fellow members of congress help to convince you? – We here at the Campaign Update have repeatedly invoked comparisons of conduct of the ongoing impeachment clown show by Adam Schiff, Gerrold Nadler and Nancy Pelosi to the basement interrogations and show trials that we used think only happened in Stalinist Soviet Russia and other totalitarian regimes.
We have made those comparisons for good reason: Because they are entirely accurate, right down to Schiff’s conducting of witness interrogations in an actual basement and selectively leaking only the parts of the interviews he wanted for public consumption. Now we have news that we would have thought simply impossible in a constitutional republic just a handful of years ago, news that Schiff has actually been researching metadata records collected by the intelligence community and culling through it in an effort to spy on Republican members of congress.
Nunes appeared on Fox News with the constantly-interrupting Martha MacCallum on Thursday evening to explain exactly the process that Schiff used in his spying operation and the motives behind doing so. Given that the clip below contains subtitles for all the studious readers out there, I did not take the time to try to build a transcript of it:
It is important to understand exactly how unprecedented this situation is. Schiff’s actions, if they go unpunished by Pelosi and the Democrat-majority House “Ethics” Committee now set the precedent of a sitting Speaker approving one member of congress literally spying on the activities of another. It is completely beyond the pale. Sadly, and they surely will go unpunished since the Dems on that Committee are every bit as corrupt as Schiff, and Schiff certainly had Pelosi’s approval before going down this road.
Schiff and Pelosi, by using this method – no doubt at the urging of their outside Lawfare Alynskyite lawyers – now open the door for future GOP majorities and speakers and committee chairs to employ the exact same sorts of tactics. Think of it as open warfare and imagine how the tensions and retaliatory actions will escalate over time.
Schiff and Pelosi also went after and received the records of journalist John Solomon, who has become a social outcast among his corrupt media peers for filing a series of extraordinarily well-sourced reports on the Ukraine situation, reports that actually follow the rules of ethical journalism that have been almost outlawed now in the corrupt national news media. Had Nunes and then-Speaker Paul Ryan gone after some hack at the New York Times during the previous two years, the media would have been in full outrage mode for years. But because this is a case of Democrats going after an actual working journalist, the response from the media establishment has been crickets.
This is a truly frightening development for our country. We now have the majority party in one house of congress actively spying on members of the minority party and members of the press, and placing the results of their spying into a formal committee report. Even more frightening is the fact that the press – which is supposed to serve as the public’s watchdog holding abusive politicians accountable – is as a group sitting in Pelosi’s lap begging her to give another scratch of its collective head with her gnarly fingers.
What this all tells us is that the Democrats and their media toadies view this impeachment effort as an all-or-nothing game. They view President Trump as a truly existential threat to their bases of power and corrupt way of life and are willing to go to any lengths to rid him from their midst.
Despite all the seemingly comforting words coming from some GOP members of the Senate, no one should just assume that the Republican majority there will hold together and kill this atrocity of an impeachment effort once it falls into their laps. After all, if the Democrats have no compunction against spying on their fellow members of the House, do you think they would hesitate for a moment to take similar actions against vulnerable GOP members of the Senate?
Remember: This is the party of the Clintons we are talking about here.
The next few months are a very dangerous time for our country. Don’t kid yourselves otherwise.
That is all.
This is a truly frightening development for our country.
Graham said last night he won’t support Nunes on this. What’s really frighting is we have no opposition party to these rampaging fascist Democrats. The Stone raid and Schiff’s latest antics prove without a doubt we live in a police state. And there is no crime if Trump and those who supporting him are criminally assaulted. It’s that simple.
Schiff’s spying on fellow members of Congress should only imperil Schiff.
These Commies who are masquerading as “democRATs” deserve to be taken down, decisively.
LOCK HIM UP.
Not yet. First they have to get his phone records so they have something to blackmail him back with. Then they'll look askance.
When Obama’s minions were found doing this with several government Agencies, it was a scandal, now it is flaunted by the Rat thugs almost as a badge of honor. How quickly times change!
No pun intended, but they hold one of the best Trump cards. They (DNC) and the deepstate control the media, and in many cases are one and the same really.
The communists can wage a war on the streets of violence and intimidation, and there is nothing but crickets from the MSM. Sometimes even defense, when silence is broken.
But let one Trump supporter cross his eyes at someone else in a protest or at an event and out come the flood and cacophony of accusation and the dirt stained magnifying glass of the major media outlets filtered through the prism of white supremacy of some kinda of obscure nationalist threat.
With so many people hard-locked in one camp or the other, virtually even, the war right now is for the hearts and minds of the so-called ‘independents’, and the media have a huge influence on this war.
People are smart enough to smell media BS most of the time, but you still need to wage your campaigns in the most positive ways possible, or it will get turn against you in ways 1000 times more negatively than any of the border-line terrorist crap that the leftists get away with.
It isn’t the Clinton’s party. It’s dorkbama’s
