Justice reads question about Schiff aides working to oust Trump since 2017

There is a new bombshell report on how the ‘whistleblower’ for the Ukraine call plotted with Rep. Adam Schiff’s aides to “take out” the president in 2017. It was referred to in a question read by Chief Justice John Roberts.

Roberts told senators in President Trump’s impeachment trial that he would not read aloud the name of the alleged whistleblower [a leaker and gossip]. That’s the man who sparked the impeachment process, and this silencing of his name and our ability to investigate him is very unfair to the President. However, Roberts did read a question Wednesday which was submitted to the president’s counsel that referenced a new RealClearInvestigations report by Paul Sperry.

The question was presented by Sen. Mike Lee of Utah on behalf of Sens. Ted Cruz of Texas and Josh Hawley of Missouri.

Roberts read the question. “Is it true that Shawn Misco and Abigail Grace and the alleged whistleblower were employed by or detailed by the National Security Council in the same time period of January 20, 2017, and the present?”

“Do you have reason to believe they knew each other and have any reason to believe that alleged whistleblower and Misco did everything they could to ‘take out the president’?” Roberts concluded reading.

President Trump’s deputy counsel Patrick Philbin responded to the question, demolishing Schiff for hiding evidence.

“Mr. Chief Justice, Senators, the only knowledge that we have of this comes from public reports. I gather that there is a news report in some publication that suggests a name for the whistleblower and suggests where he worked and that he worked at that time while detail of the NSC staff for Vice President Biden and others who worked there,” Philbin explained. He was referring to the Sperry report in realclearinvestigations.

“We have no knowledge of that other than what is in the public reports, and I don’t want to get into speculating about that,” Philbin added.

“It is something, to an unknown extent, may have been addressed in the testimony of the inspector general of the intelligence community before Chairman Schiff’s committees, but that testimony, contacts with the whistleblower, contacts with Manager Schiff’s staff and the whistleblower, are shrouded in secrecy to this day,” Philbin continued.

“We don’t know what Manager Schiff’s staff contact with the whistleblower has been and what connections there are there. It’s something that would seem to be relevant since the whistleblower started this entire inquiry,” he said, adding that Trump’s defense team could not assert that they had “particular knowledge of the facts stated in the question.”

“We know there was a public report suggesting connections and prior working relationships between certain people, not something I can comment on other than to say that there’s a report there,” Philbin said. “We don’t know the situation of the contacts’ coordination provided by Manager Schiff’s staff to the whistleblower. It all remains unknown.”

Here is a nice summary of the Sperry article from Benny:

SCHIFF LIES FOR THE SOUNDBITES

Schiff is still pretending he doesn’t even know the name of the whistleblower, much less admitting his aides worked to oust the President starting in 2017.

He has repeatedly accused President Trump of “bribery” and “extortion” without any evidence.

“If this were a criminal trial in an ordinary court and Mr. Schiff had done what he just did on the floor here, and start talking about crimes of bribery and extortion that were not in the indictment, it would’ve been an automatic mistrial,” Philbin said. “We’d all be done now, and we could go home. And Mr. Schiff knows that because he’s a former prosecutor.”

Adam Schiff refused to answer any questions about the whistleblower. Schiff is above the law:

We need a special prosecutor looking into abuse of power and conspiracy to commit treason.

The “Three Amigos who Misko and Grace worked at the NSC, and Eric Cairamella of the CIA was Obama’s regime, most likely worked under Dir. Brennan(Obama’s hit man) the two NSC’s worked on Schiff’s Staff, then their pal Eric, being the “Secret (OPEN) Whistleblower was what Everyone Knew, so Schiff LIED about “I do NOT KNOW THE WHISTLEBLOWER”……Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire!

To these three had made a statement about “Taking Down Trump”……..Gee didn’t Brennan try the Same thing FOR OBAMA, Hillary and the Rest of the Obama Corrupt Regime, that included ALL his Intel Agencies/Directors/Dirty Agents….uh, YES which is why this “Latest Impeachment Stunt, is just a Continuation of the One Obama/etal tried from EVEN before Trump was sworn in, as They ALL were afraid that Trump “Would Expose ALL the D.C. Cesspool of Corruption and Drain That Swamp”……so naturally they wanted (still do) keep trying to get him Out…as they KNOW he is going to Expose ALL THIS CORRUPTION! ALL THESE PEOPLE NEED TO BE BROUGHT IN TO BEING QUESTIONED.

This has been ONGOING Since Before Trump as a Campaigner and Then as a Duly Elected POTUS.

Kudos to Rand Paul, for asking the question, that Justice Roberts did NOT allow, as HE is a Dem.
Operative, because Obama/Brennan Knew that Roberts/wife/ went to Ireland and adopted two little children that was questionable Legally, so Naturally Obama ‘had the goods on him, and thus, must have said those kids will BE returned to Ireland, so Roberts became the one “who pushed through Obama’s debacle-Obamacare, when a second time, Roberts in charge called it a TAX.” as he pushed this off on the American people. Shame, Shame, Shame.

But again, KUDOS to RAND PAUL……..!

BTW: Forgot to mention, that Schiff ‘looked noticeably agitated and upset, when the questions about HIS Whistleblower came up, and was a far different cry from his “speechifying when giving answers and that Smug look on his face.” He got rattled and was shaken, because he KNOWS he is lying about NOT KNOWING THE WHISTLEBLOWER….Most of us paying attention KNOW who he is, and would bet, Schiff’s staff are the ones who “coached him”……Nice try, Liars!

So many felonious lies being told by the Democrats inn these proceedings. So many acts of treason and sedition. When will the “perp walks” begin?

I did happen to hear that exchange. So why in hell was that question directed to the President’s counsel. What inherent knowledge would they have of a conspiracy with Schiff, and his staff, with the whistleblower. That question should have been directed at Schiff himself. This direction of a question gives credence that Republicans do Not want to probe the necessary details but are content with a mere acquittal of the President. What point is an acquittal if we don’t uncover what certainly appears to be a coup by members of the Administration. The lack of concern in this matter is astonishing.

I’ll say, when this is all over, the chances of Lindsey Graham actually holding hearings on any of these matters affecting Trump will fall by the wayside. There will be such a sigh of relief it will be soon forgotten.

If the same players are involved/questioned in other unpublicized legal proceedings, then may be some questions are unnecessary. Just a thought.
