Republicans angry and concerned about Schiff release of phone records

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff's decision to publish the phone records of the president's personal attorneys, a journalist, a fellow lawmaker, a National Security Council aide, and others has sent a chill among Republicans concerned about the reach of a powerful chairman determined to root out the communications of people with connections to the Trump-Ukraine affair. Rep. Devin Nunes, ranking Republican on the committee, whose phone records were included among those released, called the move a "gross abuse of power."

This is probably not illegal since they only got numbers to and from, but having been limited to that, the reason for going public with the names can only be distilled down to a veiled threat to those in the Trump orbit not to communicate, and to Republicans friendly journalists’ sources that their confidentiality is at risk.

The second point is would the carriers have fought the subpoena if it was for members of the Democrats orbit?

This impeachment scam is getting dangerous to everyone. There are several private citizens who have been exposed as “being in a circle of people who like Trump” because Schiff stole their anonymity.

Or, maybe they are angry and concerned because, the walls are closing in.
You are free to excuse away the ranking member talking to one of the criminals wrapped up in this. But that doesn't make the reality of it any less nauseating from someone who practices sanctimony, like a Buddhist at a cow tipping contest.

Hey remember that time Russia hacked the DNC's email server and dumped thousands of their private emails on wiki leaks for the world to see? Did that bother you? I mean at least Schiff is an American who has his own countries best interest in heart. Russia's goal was very obviously to subvert the United States and make it more difficult to respond to the threats Russia posed.

It's sad and all that Rudy and Solomon and Nunes were hanging around with criminals intent on funneling foreign cash into U.S. elections for who knows what purposes, and who were all apparently involved in a plot to remove a U.S. ambassador, again for unknown purposes. Remember it's the TRUMP DoJ who charged those morons. Blame them for uncovering an illegal plot to interfere in our elections, and for Nunes and Rudy and the mysterious number likely the WH for being involved in that criminal activity.

Schiff is burying himself and he's too ****ing stupid to know it.

What are we to expect from the beady eyed pencil neck Gestapo?

I know right?
All of these criminals congregating together and helping a corrupt POTUS are just a coincidence, and Schiff is the one too stupid to know it.

How about some integrity?
How about not sitting in the ranking members chair spouting conspiracy theories into the congressional record, whilst also having contact with major players "in the loop".
You know. For starters.

Talking about the evil Adam Schiff?

 

[Excast]

I think everyone should be angry and concerned about the fact that the Republican supposedly heading up the investigation in the Intelligence Committee was neck deep in the entire mess as he was feigning indigence that anyone could possibly think something shady had taken place between Trump and Ukraine.

 

[JasperL]

lol........

I don't think it's funny at all that Nunes or the President's personal attorney was involved with those two con men and indicted criminals.

One good thing this did was expose John Solomon for the hack he is. He ought to get a job as the WH press secretary so his job is made clear. Give him an official title versus pretending he's doing 'journalism.' He's just producing propaganda useful to Parnas and Fruman, likely Firtash who was funding all that ultimately, and the WH.

Nunes probably faces some serious Congressional ethics charges over his secret Vienna rendezvous with the corrupt former Ukraine prosecutor Viktor Shokin.

If he had any ethical integrity, which he doesn't, Nunes should have recused himself from the House Investigative Committee hearings on Ukraine.

I mean, we would be if we hadn't made a political circus over the impeachment and that the GOP-Partisans are doing nothing more than Brand Protection at this stage.

The Republicans complained about hearings behind closed doors. [They had members on the committees behind those same doors.] They wanted things out in the open. Now things are coming out into the open and what do they do? Complain that the information is coming out into the open.

Color me confused.

Projection! It's what's for dinner!

I'm sure Schiff wishes he was as smart as someone who calls themselves "road virus" on a political forum.......

You speculate more than progressive constitutional scholars and Schiff faced witnesses

No need to speculate - we've seen the phone records.

Parnas who? Oh, that indicted criminal who's BFFs with Rudy and who I had several calls with including one lasting 8 minutes? :2rofll:

What have they complained about being in the open? Phone records of every Republican? The nerve of them. Time for them to get the same from Democrats.

 

[Craig234]

So Devin is complaining that the evidence showing he abused his power, is an abuse of power?

Funny, they had no complaint about the release of hacked DNC e-mails.

Not every Republican - just those dumb enough to take calls from con men and now indicted criminals, like Nunes, and Rudy, and that hack John Solomon, and likely someone in the WH if not POTUS.

Or, it could be because Congress doesn't have the authority to subpoena private documents.
