Adam Schiff has been crying wolf about Donald Trump for nearly a decade.
The California Senator thought he could keep getting away with it.
But Adam Schiff told one big lie about the DOJ that instantly blew up in his face.
Schiff’s latest meltdown exposes his desperation
Adam Schiff appeared on NBC’s Meet the Press in full panic mode.
The former House Intelligence Committee Chairman who spent years peddling the Russia collusion hoax was back to his old tricks – making wild claims about Trump that don’t hold up under scrutiny.
This time, Schiff was hyperventilating about the Justice Department’s prosecution of former FBI Director James Comey for leaking classified information.
"First of all, the Republican U.S. Attorney in Virginia refused to go forward with this prosecution of James Comey, because he thought it lacked evidence," Schiff claimed. "They fired him. They fired him and replaced him with a personal lawyer of the president’s, an insurance lawyer, to seek these charges."¹
But here’s where Schiff stepped in it – he’s describing standard legal practice as some kind of unprecedented abuse of power.
The truth Schiff doesn’t want you to know
Schiff tried to make it sound sinister that Trump replaced a U.S. Attorney who refused to prosecute a case.
That’s not corruption – that’s how the executive branch works.
U.S. Attorneys serve at the pleasure of the President, and if they won’t enforce the law, they get replaced by someone who will.
The idea that James Comey – who prosecutors say authorized anonymous leaks about FBI investigations – somehow lacks evidence for a prosecution is laughable.
The charges stem from Comey’s September 30, 2020 testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee where he denied authorizing anyone at the FBI to be an anonymous source.
According to the indictment, that statement was false – prosecutors allege he had actually authorized such leaks.
The only reason the previous U.S. Attorney "refused to go forward" was likely political – not evidentiary.
Trump simply found someone willing to do the job they were hired to do.
But Schiff didn’t stop there with his wild accusations.
He also claimed Trump was protecting his political friends, specifically alleging that border czar Tom Homan "reportedly took $50,000 in cash from undercover FBI agents and made the case go away."²
This kind of reckless accusation shows just how unhinged Schiff has become in his attacks on the Trump administration.
Schiff’s hypocrisy knows no bounds
What makes Schiff’s whining even more ridiculous is his selective outrage about Justice Department prosecutions.
This is the same Adam Schiff who cheered when the Biden Justice Department went after Trump with unprecedented criminal charges for the past four years.
Schiff had no problem when Democrat prosecutors twisted themselves into pretzels trying to turn misdemeanor bookkeeping errors into felonies.
He didn’t cry about "weaponization" when they raided Mar-a-Lago or when they tried to throw Trump in prison during an election year.
But now that the tables have turned and actual lawbreakers like Comey are facing consequences, suddenly Schiff is worried about the rule of law.
"He is using the Justice Department to go after his political enemies," Schiff claimed about Trump.²
That’s rich coming from the guy who spent years trying to frame the President with fake Russia evidence.
The real threat to democracy
Schiff’s most absurd claim came at the end of his rant.
"If Republicans allow this to go on for four years, there will be nothing left of our democracy," he declared.²
Let that sink in for a moment.
According to Adam Schiff, prosecuting people who actually broke the law will destroy democracy.
But spending four years trying to railroad an innocent President with made-up charges? That was just fine.
Schiff’s definition of "democracy" apparently means Democrats can break any law they want without consequences, while Republicans get prosecuted for jaywalking.
The real threat to democracy isn’t holding lawbreakers accountable – it’s the two-tiered justice system that Schiff and his allies have been running for years.
For the first time in decades, we might actually have equal justice under the law, and that terrifies people like Adam Schiff.
They built their careers on being above the law, and now that protection is gone.
That’s not the end of democracy – that’s democracy finally working the way it’s supposed to.
