Senators Ask Schiff Why He Hired Colleague of Alleged Whistleblower

Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee Chairman Ron Johnson (R-WI) and other Republican senators asked lead House impeachment manager Adam Schiff (D-CA) during the Senate impeachment trial Thursday why his committee hired Sean Misko, a former National Security Council staffer who was reportedly close to the alleged whistleblower, a day after the July 25 phone call between President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

Chief Justice John Roberts said, reading the question submitted by Johnson and others:

Recent reporting described two NSC staff holdovers from the Obama administration attending an all-hands meeting of NSC staff held about two weeks into the Trump administration and talking loudly enough to be overheard, saying, ‘We need to do everything we can to take out the president.

On July 26, 2019, the House Intelligence Committee hired one of those individuals, Sean Misko. The report further describes relationships between Misko, Lt. Col. Vindman, and an individual alleged as the whistleblower. Why did your committee hire Sean Misko the day after the phone call between President Trump and Zelensky, and what role has he played throughout your committee’s investigation?

Schiff refused to answer any part of the question, claiming it was an attempt to smear his staff and out the whistleblower — whose identity he also claims he does not know.

Schiff did say:

First of all, there have been a lot of attacks on my staff, and as I said when this issue came up earlier, I’m appalled at some of the smearing of some of the professional people that work for the intelligence committee.

The honest answer would have been that writing the "whistleblower" complaint was a group project and Schiff wanted to keep the collaborators in a tight circle and under control.

But I don't imagine an honest answer was forthcoming.

Did you just use “honest” and “Schiff” in the same sentence?

Otherwise known as a secret conspiracy to oust the duly elected president of the United States.
So the whole party has joined in a conspiracy to commit treason.

I think the storm is here.

They are all Adam Schiff now.

I refer to the action as non-violent sedition. sedition is what citizens do to overthow the usual order of government. Violent sedition (either using or calling for violent overthrow) is a crime.

There is nothing in the criminal law wehre a constitutional government that derives its power from the people, rebels against the people who formed the government. But that's what we have. The government is in open rebellion against the people.

Speech or Debate clause in the Constitution protects members of Congress from any legal repercussions for anything they say in Congress. It allows them to LIE. If we had an actual news media, their lies would be well known. Instead, the propaganda press quotes their statements as if they are truth. People are easily fooled.
