Rep Piece-Of-Schiff Refuses To Apologize For Hyping Lie

This guy is a real piece of work. Rep Schiff helped Dems terrorize Trump and further divide the country with their baseless witch hunts. Schiff was also an impeachment manager and slandered anyone that refused to find Trump guilty, claiming the the impeachment trial was rigged from the start. And it appears he is just as bitter about Trump to this day. NBC’s Chuck Todd gave Schiff a chance to apologize for perpetuating the Steele Dossier lie and he of course doubled down saying he was right to have, and that he was only following the intelligence… The intelligence that he agreed with I’m sure.

During an appearance on NBC News’ “Meet the Press” on Sunday, Schiff was confronted with some of his past claims hyping the validity of the dossier and was asked by host Chuck Todd whether he regrets “giving some credibility to the Steele dossier before anybody had been able to verify anything in it.”

“I don’t regret saying that we should investigate claims of someone who, frankly, was a well-respected British intelligence officer,” Schiff responded. “And we couldn’t have known, of course, years ago that we would learn years later that someone who is a primary source lied to him.”

“[Igor] Danchenko lied to Christopher Steele and then lied to the FBI,” Schiff said. “He should be prosecuted. He is being prosecuted. And I’ll tell you this, if he’s convicted, he should not be pardoned the way Donald Trump pardoned people who lied to FBI agents, like Roger Stone and Mike Flynn. There ought to be the same standard in terms of prosecuting the liars. But I don’t think there ought to be any pardon, no matter which way the lies cut.”

Trump better watch out for this guy, he has a serious case of Trump Derangement Syndrome.
