“Well, fair is fair. Republicans should obtain Schiff’s phone records, those of the so-called whistleblower, Eric Ciaramella, and the colleague with whom he had a “bro-like” relationship, you know, Sean Misko, the one Schiff hired as an aide the day after the whistleblower’s complaint was submitted…Once Schiff passes this to the Senate, it will be the Democrats on trial."
It’s long past time for the Republicans to take off the gloves and fight back.
Schiff refused to say how he was able to obtain the phone records. He needs to be put under oath by the Senate and examined on this point. This is a remarkable abuse of the constitutional rights of all these folks. These are KGB tactics.
Democrats act just like fascists. Don’t like an election? Overthrow it. Don’t like the opposition? Tap their phones. Don’t like free speech? Send out the Antifa thugs.
It’s much better to pressure your allies into publicly announcing investigations into your political opponents and then getting the rest of your party to excuse it.
I can’t remember the statute but there was a big flap over it a few years back when someone was leaking the phone records of several congress critters.
My guess is- he loses those protections when he’s sitting on a committee doing an investigation and is called out by someone who’s testifying to the committee about his improper actions.
But once again- GOP guy gets caught doing something improper…the reaction is to blame the process by which he was caught.
Physicists are racing to study the impossible superposition of Rudy Giuliani, who is able to he both a private citizen with no government involvement and a diplomatic envoy simultaneously.
Please go look it up for us…
