"But first, staff debriefs the whistleblower and briefs me on what they learned, and I use that information to tweet the whistleblower's allegations out to the public while it's working through the system. I'm @RepAdamSchiff . That's what I'm supposed to do."

When a whistleblower seeks guidance, staff advises them to get counsel and go to an IG. That’s what they’re supposed to do. Unlike a president pressing a foreign leader to dig up dirt on a political opponent. That’s not what a president is supposed to do. And we all know it.

I don't understand this take on Barr. We've all spent years criticizing Comey for stepping out of his lane with the Hillary press conference - it's no secret that DoJ has a policy of not announcing investigations, particularly in an election window. Barr promised as much.

Just guessing, but this could be the 100th time over the last couple years I've read a Breaking News leak from congressional testimony about Trump/Russia/Collusion/Conspiracy/Jr's Emails/Fusion/Steele Dossier, etc, and thought, "Oh, so nothing then." They leak their best shot.

This is stunning on many levels. Not only is it juvenile, but she's promoting a stunt that involved an unknown individual rushing up to the witness in her hearing and attempting to make physical contact. She knows Kavanaugh had no idea who that man was - yet she tweets this bile.

Want to make sure I've got this right. Publishing and broadcasting @carterwpage 's name from an anonymous leaker, along with classified information leading the world to believe he was a traitorous spy for Russia - no problem. Acknowledging the WBer's name? Unscrupulous. Got it.

There's a parallel here when it comes to news organizations sitting on a story. Think about how many reporters and cable news hosts know who leaked the Flynn/Kislyak intercept, the Page FISA, the dossier briefing to Trump, and all of the other "bombshell" leaks that perpetuated..

I’m no fan of James O’Keefe, but this Amy Robach-Jeffrey Epstein story is huge. It’s a goddamn scandal and a stain on every news organization who had credible information on Epstein, but killed their respective reporting on him due to external and internal pressure.

@JoshBGallagher Pulled up an interview of Mr. Gard, which convinces me that Josh Gallagher is telling the truth. Gard makes a "consciousness of guilt" statement at 1:30 in the video - an exculpatory aside describing an unlikely scenario (hall was empty). I believe Josh.
