Rep. Devin Nunes on Sunday offered to help “rehabilitate” House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam B. Schiff after a longtime adherence to false claims in support of the FBI’s conduct in the Trump-Russia investigation.

Mr. Nunes, the ranking Republican on the committee, made the tongue-in-cheek offer in a letter to Mr. Schiff that cited his numerous statements that were contradicted in the Justice Department inspector general report that found a slew of FBI abuses in the case.

“I understand taking action on this issue will be difficult for you, as it will be an implicit acknowledgment that you were wrong to deny these abuses and that you were complicit in the violation of an American’s civil liberties,” wrote Mr. Nunes, California Republican. “I also understand such an acknowledgment is made even more difficult by the fact that you’ve already been discredited by your years-long false claim that the Trump campaign colluded with Russia to hack the 2016 presidential election.”

Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s report, which found pervasive and major abuses in the wiretap application, showed all Mr. Schiff’s claims to be erroneous.

Mr. Nunes said it was not too late for Mr. Schiff to undertake the committee’s duty of oversight of the FBI and other intelligence agencies. He urged the chairman to schedule a hearing to explore Mr. Horowitz’s findings.

He said he refused to believe Mr. Schiff, who also is a leading figure in the impeachment effort, was “beyond redemption.”

He said outlining every false claim made by Mr. Schiff would require too long of a letter. Instead, he listed seven statements from Mr. Schiff’s memo that were disproven by the IG report:

• FBI and Justice Department officials did not omit material information from the FISA warrant.

• The Justice Department “made only narrow use of information” from former British spy Christopher Steele’s discredited anti-Trump dossier to obtain the warrant on Mr. Page.

• In subsequent FISA renewals of the wiretap warrant, DOJ provided additional information that corroborated Mr. Steele’s reporting.

• The Page FISA warrant allowed the FBI to collect “valuable intelligence.”

• “Far from ‘omitting’ material facts about Steele, as the [the GOP-Majority] claims, DOJ repeatedly informed the Court about Steele’s background, credibility, and potential bias

bias.”

• The FBI conducted a “rigorous process” to vet Steele’s allegations and the FISA application to wiretap Mr. Page explained the FBI’s reasonable basis for finding Steele credible.

• Steele’s prior reporting was used in criminal proceedings.

“The IG report has exposed all these declarations as false,” said Mr. Nunes.


Poster Comment:

Every single one of these Democrats was a failure in life....Schiff couldn’t make it as a prosecutor, Nadler couldn’t make it as a property developer, I won’t even mention Pelosi...it’s pathetic what they have done to our country.

Where does Schiff's salacious parody of Trump's phone call fit in, i.e. when his "reading" of the transcript had Trump boldly demanding a "quid pro quo of financial support for dirt on Joe Biden"? It was a horrendous act that clearly displayed his hatred of Trump and a disregard for the truth and fairness. He should resign from Congress and/or be forced out by his comrades in the House.

The biggest and most often used lie is the claim that Trump asked Zelensky to "do me a favor and investigate the Bidens".

If you read the rough transcript the White House provided Trump said, "I would like you to do us a favor though because our country has been through a lot …" Not "me", "us".

And the favor was to investigate Crowdstrike", not the Bidens, and how Crowdstrike may have affected the 2016 election.

A SYP 2x4 would make a good rehabilitator.

After the Pubbies retake the House next November, Schiff could be censured, but in that RAT gerrymandered House district of his, I don't think there is a realistic path to removing Schiff from the House. Perhaps someone could persuade the Kalifornia RATS to put him up for Senate.
