Levin: Schiff deserves an ethics complaint over revelation that he knew about whistleblower
Conservative Review ^ | 10/04/2019 | Nate Madden

Posted on 10/04/2019 8:27:58 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

Thursday night on the radio, LevinTV host Mark Levin discussed the latest revelation in the whistleblower impeachment saga — that House Intelligence Committee chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., was made aware of the CIA whistleblower’s complaint before it was filed with the Intelligence Community inspector general.

Hours before Levin’s radio program, the New York Times broke the story that the CIA employee who filed a complaint about President Trump’s late-July phone call with the president of Ukraine contacted a staffer on the House Intelligence Committee before doing so. The staffer then relayed the information to Schiff, according to the report.

While the story has opened up Schiff to criticism — especially given his September 17th statement that “we have not spoken directly with the whistleblower” — Levin explained how the story actually serves to further insulate the whistleblower and his report from public scrutiny.

“They’re trying to protect him by getting it out there first,” Levin explained. “Schiff can say, ‘We knew they would try and spin this and politicize it, these Republicans and the Trump people. Yes.'”

The radio host went on to say that lawmakers “at a minimum” ought to file an ethics complaint against Schiff in response to the report and laid out some questions that congressional investigators ought to pursue in its wake.

“What exactly did the so-called whistleblower tell them?” Levin asked. “We need to know now the name of committee staff or staffers. We need to know whom among these staffers were informed of this information. We need to know what Mr. Schiff knew exactly and with whom Mr. Schiff shared it, including the speaker of the House.”

This has spun so far out of control that both sides don’t know how to handle.

AOC already backing off and saying talk of impeachment is boring.

What about reading a fabrication in a Congressional hearing? The little scumbag knew the Networks would repeat it as fact to millions. No consequence at all for the little punk.

AOC says it’s boring likely because they she wants to be able to snap her fingers and make it happen immediately. She can’t be bothered with the process. In that sense, she’s the poster child for the DEMs.

The old canard is ever true.

Democrats squeal the loudest over crimes they accuse Trump of doing. Yet they themselves are the guilty parties.

Heck, even Pelosi herself said there was nothing wrong with what Schiff did.

BTW, did you know that Adam Schiff writes fiction? I kid you not. He put his hobby into good use here.

The rats have overplayed their hand. If they wanted impeachment they should have gone thru proper channels.instead it’s an inquiry in secret with secretly changed forms with a whistleblower patsy. With shifts glaring parody. Congress and senate rats calling trump a pimp. Then going to impeach pence. Put trump in solitary. Attempts to disbarr barr. Nancy lost control. They look like raving lunatics.

Meanwhile little press on the Den presidential candidates.

Schiff deserves an ethics complaint

You're killing us here, Mark. The ethics complaint will be handled by the ethics committee. After a long "investigation" they will do nothing, unless their political backs are against the wall. Then they might issue a sternly worded letter. In extreme measures they might rebuke him. Or if it is really really really serious they could reprimand him. Or if it is really really really really really really serious they could recommend a house vote to censure him [a sternly worded letter read on the floor of the house in his presence]. What they cannot do is recommend he be expelled because that will set a precedent that none of them want to live under.

With the consent of the media, and a complacent GOP the Democrats are totally above the law.

Any effort to investigate unethical behavior in congress is doomed to failure. It is the very epicenter of government corruption. And we the taxpayers pay for the cover ups.

The “whistleblower” will be doxed. Count on it. They will no longer be able to work in the IC.
