Schiff: Whenever Trump Calls Something Fake 'It Ought To Set Off Alarm Bells'

[JohnnyApplesack]

Schiff called the circuitous route of those documents "an attempt to distract and to hide the origin of the materials, to hide the White House's hand, and the question is of course why."

"I think the answer to the question is this effort to point the Congress in other directions. Basically say, don't look at me, don't look at Russia, there's nothing to see here," Schiff said. "I would tell people, whenever they see the President use the word 'fake,' it ought to set off alarm bells."

no kidding, and that goes for his dopey minions as well

This is yet another example of how the similar the two ends in so many of their behaviors.

When stung by a catchphrase (and, of course, the point behind it), they immediately move to dilute it by co-opting it for themselves, and moving it away from its original intention.

Liberals did it with "snowflake" (holy crap, I think they use the term more than conservatives do at this point), now the conservatives are doing it with "fake news". "Fake news" was something specific, the wave of purely fabricated "news" stories that we saw linked to daily by Alt-Righters on USMB during the campaign. They appeared to completely believe them.

Now, Trump & Co have used the above co-opting strategy to call pretty much any news item - true, false, whatever - that they don't like, "Fake News".

The two ends are SO DAMN SIMILAR.

Someone with nothing to hide and who has done nothing wrong would let the investigations continue without interference. Trump has done the exact opposite of that.

 

[JakeStarkey]

Watch Trump's behavior, ignore his excuses.

Do you really expect me to believe anything that comes out of a Democrat mouth? Really?

I agree diversion from the topic at hand is used by both sides of the coin, progressive and reactionary

the Trumpeteers are deploying the tactic on a HUGE scale, completely destroying any attempt to do so unobserved - the key to its success

so they have shone the spotlight on themselves with this ham handed gambit, and now find themselves mired in a Watergate-style cover-up that is just like Chinese handcuffs - or the deeper they dig the harder it is to get out

absolutely not, everyone knows you believe everything that comes out of Trumps ass.

I can't imagine it will work. This is serious shit, and I want to think that there are still enough serious people out there who will be willing to chase it down to its conclusion.

It may be nothing, I don't know. But trying to brush it off as "fake" is silly and won't work.

The media needs to treat Trump like a silent film. No words, just watch actions.

The Senate's investigation seems to be. We always have the Fourth Estate...and they're doing a pretty good job.

So you create a phony scandal and then accuse him of a coverup?

 

[JakeStarkey]

tyrone knows that trump is tweeting there is no RussiaGate while his secretaries of Defense and State are saying that there is RussiaGate.

In that case, Obama/Hitlery gave me tinnitus.......

Schiff has neutralized and exposed the corruption of the WH and House Intelligence Committee in regards to investigating charges against trump and the WH. And it is true, nobody believes the President of the United States when he talks his bullshyt. He is accepted as a pathological and serial liar.

Stir #### up and it will stink, right jake.

Discovering and exposing the National Security Advisor as a Secret Foreign Agent is a genuine scandal.
Literally and factually, by admission, a Secret Foreign Agent, the National Security Advisor to the President.

You should have clarified, no one believes the President of the U.S. when bs comes out of his mouth except USMB righties.

You are just a farmer, boy. We had it all: ranch, dairy, farm, slaughter house, and cannery. What an operation. I was so glad to get away from it.

True, now let's see the left call for Shiffs recusal for his obvious bias. The results of this investigation cannot be believed if the democratic leader states such obvious bias.
