    Yeah, it's Greg Jarrett. But is what any of what he says false?

    https://thegreggjarrett.com/schiff-made-it-impossible-for-doj-to-declassify-transcripts-on-russia-investigation/

    In 2018 the House Intelligence Committee “forged a rare bipartisan moment: Its Republican and Democratic members voted to make public the transcripts of 53 witnesses in the Russia collusion investigation,” John Solomon’s Just the News reminds us. However, that act of transparency has been aggressively thwarted by Adam Schiff.

    Representative Adam Schiff (D-CA) took over as chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) from Republican Devin Nunes in 2019. It was then that Schiff deployed his disgraceful strategy. Schiff sent a letter to the office of then-Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats, which Just the News has obtained.

    In the letter, Schiff “ordered that the witness transcripts – some of which contained exculpatory evidence for President Trump’s team – not be shared with Trump or White House lawyers even if the declassification process required such sharing.” The letter, dated March 26, 2019 stated:

    Under no circumstances shall ODNI, or any other element of the Intelligence Community (IC), share any HPSCI transcripts with the White House, President Trump or any persons associated with the White House or the President…Such transcripts remain the sole property of HPSCI, and were transmitted to ODNI for the limited purpose of enabling a classification review by IC elements and the Department of Justice.

    U.S. intelligence officials explain the severe consequence of Schiff’s actions. Officials say the request made it “impossible for them to declassify 10 of the transcripts, mostly of current and former White House and National Security Council witnesses, because White House lawyers would have had to review them for what is known as ‘White House equities’ and presidential privileges.” Just the News states 43 transcripts have been made declassified and “cleared for public release and given to Schiff’s team, but they have never been made public despite the committee’s vote to do so.”

    Republicans would like to see testimonies of some key figures such as former Acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe and Michael Sussman, a private lawyer for the Democratic Party, be made public. “Republicans had hoped the witnesses’ testimonies would be released before the 2018 election so Americans could see some of the problems with the Russia probe and the false narrative of collusion that had been foisted on the public.” Unfortunately that did not occur and the “declassification efforts dragged into 2019, when Democrats took control of the House.”

    Just the News notes that spokesmen for Schiff and House Intelligence Committee Democrats did not return emails seeking comment. Additionally, Just the News writes that Schiff’s letter came “just as Special Counsel Robert Mueller was releasing his final report, which declared there wasn’t evidence to prove the core allegation lodged against Trump by Democrats – that Trump had colluded with Russia to hijack the 2016 election.”

      Wiped, like with a cloth?

      Christopher Steele told a British court last month that he no longer has documents and other information from his meetings with the main source for his Trump dossier, suggesting that the former British spy has no way of backing up his side in a dispute with the Justice Department’s inspector general (IG), according to a deposition transcript obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.

      Steele also told the court that his communications regarding the dossier, including with Fusion GPS, were “wiped” in December 2016 and January 2017, the transcript shows.

          They ALL need to go to jail. This will likely be the main topic in late Aug thru November.

          Once the pandemic settles down, this will explode on the scene, led by Durham indictments.... very public indictments.

          And guess who the VP was when all this was going down? He won't be able to run from this during the debates.

          We have the freedom to choose our actions, but we do not get to choose our consequences.
          Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run, there's still time to change the road you're on.

              Just because Trump's a walking anus doesn't mean I need to read this thread or give a crap about its implications. I honestly don't care who goes to prison over what here. If it's the people you don't like I'm happy for you, but I'm not a supporter.

              Please love yourself.

                I think the Democrats are a bunch of cunts, too.

                That's no reason to like Trump.

                I was only joking

                  Source Says FBI Director Christopher Wray Pushed To Withhold Exculpatory Evidence In Mike Flynn Case

                  Federal Bureau of Investigations Director Christopher Wray fought to prevent exculpatory evidence from surfacing in the case of President Donald Trump’s former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn, a source with direct knowledge of the situation tells Daily Caller.

                  New court documents were filed in Flynn’s case Friday containing the aforementioned exculpatory evidence, commonly referred to as Brady Material. Flynn’s attorney, Sidney Powell, announced the new filing on Twitter. She has repeatedly accused the FBI and Justice Department of hiding evidence in the case.

                  “This afternoon, the government produced to Mr. Flynn stunning Brady evidence that proves Mr. Flynn’s allegations of having been deliberately set up and framed by corrupt agents at the top of the FBI,” Powell wrote in an additional filing. “The government has deliberately suppressed this evidence from the inception of this prosecution—knowing there was no crime by Mr. Flynn.”

                  “Since August 2016 at the latest, partisan FBI and DOJ leaders conspired to destroy Mr. Flynn,” she continued. “These documents show in their own handwriting and emails that they intended either to create an offense they could prosecute or at least get him fired.”

                  Powell claimed that more exculpatory evidence in the case will surface in the future.

                      This thread is not really about Trump, other than the fact that people are so colored by their opinion, that they will ignore treason and sedition, not really caring what happens to the country.

                      I've been beating a drum from the beginning of this subversion of the U.S. system.

                        That is so much bullshit.

                        One can care about one's country and have disdain for the "leaders". In fact, a more American attitude, I cannot imagine. To bow down and worship them is the most un-American attitude I can imagine.

                                The revolutionary war was all about treason and sedition.

                                    This thread is not really about Trump, other than the fact that people are so colored by their opinion, that they will ignore treason and sedition, not really caring what happens to the country.

                                    I've been beating a drum from the beginning of this subversion of the U.S. system.

                                    Worth repeating.

                                    Several of y'all do not care about this country, as long as you can stroke the Trump hate.

                                    Shame on you.

                                    Shame.

                                    You've been beating a drum, alright.

                                    Which brings me to ask you just what your goal is in participating here. It's been decades, man. Do you really think you're going to win a political argument here? We're all going to be here tomorrow. What's the goal, for us to all agree with you? To push out everyone who doesn't? What is a post like that supposed to accomplish?

                                    That of course applies to me just as much as it does anyone else. I should think at this point that winning the politics game should be a ridiculous notion to everyone who's still here after so long a time.

                                    Please love yourself.

                                      It's simply the Truth. It goes beyond political affiliation. I find it head-shaking sad that some do not see the importance of the actions.

                                      But that's ok, if that's how the game is to be played. As a wise person once told me, all you have to do, is tell me the rules and I'll play to win. These rules let agents of the government subvert and influence the electoral process.

                                      What's the next step? A coup d'etat? A sanctioned assasination? You're already a third of the way down the slope, why not slide to the bottom?

                                      Lastly, if the group dislikes my views that much, please let me know. I have other places to go.

                                        You may think the abuse of a FISA court is treasonous (reasonable position).

                                        Other may think mass surveillance is just as abusive in the first place (reasonable position).

                                        The treason turtles go allll the way down.

                                          I don't ever remember telling someone on this board to go fuck themselves.

                                          Ever.

                                          You seem to do it with impunity. And the fact that you do that, makes me think others of your political ilk think likewise. So that turns me completely off from your politics.

                                          That's really the only thing I don't like about you. Your thoughts and opinions about just about everything else have always been respected and welcomed.

                                          We all have different views of the world and we are free to express them. But we really shouldn't tell others to go fuck themselves just because our views are polar opposite of each other.

                                          That statement will never leave my memory of you.
