Adam Schiff Delivers The Message That Haunts Trump: Bob Mueller Knows

Adam Schiff Delivers The Message That Haunts Trump: Bob Mueller Knows


House Intelligence Committee Ranking Member, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) had a message for House Republicans and Trump. It doesn’t matter how much they try to hide information, Bob Mueller knows.

Video @ link:

When asked by Ari Melber if the Trump/Russia activity rose to the level of criminal intent, Adam Schiff answered:

What we see is really classic Russian tradecraft. That is they’ll make outreaches to people, to Americans. They’ll begin by using intermediaries. They’ll then see whether there’s a receptivity to the approach and if there is, they’ll follow it up with other approaches. And this is the pattern we see with the approach through the professor to Papadopoulos, then the approach to the foreign ministry, then the approach to the meeting at Trump Tower, and you see that they’re getting the message effectively back from the Trump campaign, yes, we are receptive to this, in fact, the president’s — the president, himself, as candidate says quite publicly that he wants the Russians to help by hacking and you see the Russians come through. Now, whether there is sufficient proof of conspiracy beyond a reasonable doubt involving the Trump campaign, Bob Mueller is in the best position to know, what I can see are different pieces of this puzzle.

But what I can see also has missing pieces. I don’t know, for example, who Papadopoulos talked to about the Russian approach. We were going to bring in John Mashburn, one of the policy advisers for the trump campaign this week. He’d agreed to come in, but as soon as we informed the majority he was going to come testify, the majority intervened to tell him not to come. The majority doesn’t want to know who in the trump campaign was aware of this approach and who might have been in the know prior to the meeting in trump tower. But Bob Mueller knows at this point, and we’ll just have to wait to see whether the next indictment on the hacking and dumping operation if there’s another, is focused on Americans.


Bob Mueller knows

All of the Republican building of conspiracies, attacks on law enforcement, and smearing of the special counsel goes to one central point. Bob Mueller knows. Everything that Republicans have done is with the purpose of discrediting what Robert Mueller is going to someday report back to the American people. The vast majority of Republicans defending Trump don’t know what the Special Counsel knows, but they know that they have to stop it.

Every time Donald Trump goes on television or tweets the words witch hunt, as you read or watch the president spin, keep in mind that we are watching a man who is haunted by a constant truth that never sleeps and is always with him.

Bob Mueller knows, and soon you will too.

You are a damned traitor. There are a lot of other most unflattering names that I could call you. But there is one thing that is most certain.

After the Mueller report goes public, your place is history will be most secured as the greatest traitor to your country. Greater than Benedict Arnold, Julius Rosenberg, Jonathan Pollard, or Aldrich Ames. You better hope that your corpse gets cremated and the ashes scattered, because if it were buried, your grave plot and headstone would be desecrated for centuries to come. People would bring their dogs just to pee and poop on your grave. That's how despicable your legacy will be viewed.

I'm sure he wasn't banking on that something as being the greatest traitor in the history of the world.

Posts wherein people with knowledge of the process, both general and specific, inform us and give us hope that it's way too late to sweep this under the rug. The best "he" can do is play for time, and he has minions a-plenty dong that for him.

The only thing in the preceding that I'm not sure about is "classic Russian tradecraft" While I'm sure it is, I doubt that there is an intelligence agency in the world that doesn't do that.

5. Repugs' "building of conspiracies", to de-rail the investigation into their conspiracy.

Calling the investigation of their conspiracy 'a conspiracy'. Inventing conspiracy theories to say the investigation of their actual conspiracy is a conspiracy. Looks like the repugs are conspiring to do this, to boot.

Engaging in a televised witch hunt against the investigators, the Justice Dept, the courts, the Dems, the US, while slamming the investigators for their 'witch hunt'.

Another one of those 'stop hitting yourself' moments.

They're not even trying not to look like traitors anymore. Can Mueller indict the entire GOP?! And the next Democratic candidates for ANY Repugnican seat had better mention this ! And ALL the other greasy slimy cover-up things they've done! Deplorable.

And that "majority" is Devin "fucking" Nunes.

But it's also important to remember that NO ONE in the House so much as ties their shoes or takes a leak without the blessing or green light from the Speaker. Paul "traitor" Ryan is who controls what these committees do or don't do.

Man, how I hope Mueller also has the goods on this sneaky, little rat-bastard Nunes.

Help Andrew Janz kick Devin's ass to the curb!

Rather, they don't want the public or the media to know. It's anyone's guess as to how many Republicans already know the truth because they were in on the collusion, but some of them do.
