Gregg Jarrett: Rep. Adam Schiff's fury and outrage over seized phone records is a perverse irony

Mr. Schiff, please spare me the pious lecture and phony indignation

Spare me the pious lecture and phony indignation.

Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., threw an apoplectic fit the other day when he learned that what he did to others was done to him. There is some perverse irony in all of this. But, of course, Schiff neglected to mention his own hypocrisy.

Schiff’s tantrum was triggered by the recent disclosure that the Trump Department of Justice obtained his phone records, along with another California Democrat, Eric Swalwell and several journalists. Their data was seized pursuant to grand jury subpoenas served on Apple in 2017 and 2018 when Schiff was the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee and Swalwell was his lackey-in-chief.

At the time, the DOJ was trying to track down government leaks to reporters of classified information involving sensitive national security matters, which constitutes crimes. The Intel Committee was a natural focus, given Schiff’s reputation for politically motivated leaks aimed at harming then-President Trump.

When Schiff learned last Thursday that his phone records had been collected he predictably accused Trump of using the DOJ as a "cudgel against his political opponents and members of the media." The House Democrat called it "a blatant attack on our democracy." Cue the feigned outrage and sanctimony.

The insufferably self-righteous Schiff didn’t bother to note that he was guilty of engaging in the exact same tactics. Moreover, he was counting on the mainstream media to conceal it. Naturally, they complied.

Here’s a quick refresher on Schiff’s duplicity. During the Trump impeachment proceedings in 2019, he secretly subpoenaed the phone records of ranking Intelligence Republican Devin Nunes of California, Trump attorneys Rudy Giuliani and Jay Sekulow, attorney Victoria Toensing, journalist John Solomon, Fox News host Sean Hannity and others.

Schiff is a member of the communist party in good standing.

Nothing will come of this except our side will write letters, scream on TV/Radio and huff about hypocrisy.

I am tired of it. I no longer care.

I have resigned myself to accepting we are now a communist nation.

Don’t give up hope. Yes, things look horrible, but there are some solid conservatives fighting as hard as they can for us like MTG, AND DESANTIS. It can be discouraging, but don’t lose hope

These are the worst kind of humans: Those that only recognize a wrong when it happens to them.

Obama’s DOJ lied to a federal court to obtain a warrant to spy on the Trump campaign and to subvert a Trump victory.

1. What was the Trump DOJ’s lie when they secured these subpoenas?

2. What presidential campaign were these subpoenas intended to subvert?
