Goldman, former impeachment prosecutor for Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA).<\/p>\n<p>Goldman, running in New York, is part of a new cohort of left-wing prosecutors who have brought their \u201cwoke\u201d left-wing ideas into law enforcement, where their mission is to liberate criminals through \u201creform,\u201d while persecuting conservatives.<\/p>\n<p>He was once an obscure former Southern District of New York prosecutor who appeared occasionally on MSNBC, where he helped <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2019\/11\/13\/daniel-goldman-impeachment-lawyer-russia-hoaxster-former-msnbc-pundit\/\">spread<\/a> the \u201cRussia collusion\u201d conspiracy theory. Notably, he was taken in by Christopher Steele\u2019s so-called \u201cpee tape.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"11.633522727273\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">What lying? Nothing in the dossier has proved to be false (including your pee tape). But we can agree that we all look forward to the facts coming out. Everything that has come out so far has shown you to be an out and out liar (eg Cohen tape, purpose of June 9 meeting, etc). <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/or1ZQbCmy0\">https:\/\/t.co\/or1ZQbCmy0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Daniel Goldman (@danielsgoldman) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/danielsgoldman\/status\/1026161732237049860?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 5, 2018<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>He then found his way to the House Intelligence Committee, where he was employed as Schiff\u2019s committee counsel. In that role, he led the impeachment investigation \u2014 such as it was \u2014 into President Donald Trump\u2019s supposedly scandalous phone call with Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky.<\/p>\n<p>It was a process rife with procedural abuses, with Schiff preventing Republicans from calling their own witnesses, shutting down questions about the \u201cwhistleblower,\u201d and leaking to the media.<\/p>\n<p>Goldman\u2019s role in the impeachment process has never been fully explained.<\/p>\n<p>When Schiff was caught <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2019\/10\/02\/adam-schiff-could-have-been-more-clear-about-contact-with-whistleblower\/\">lying<\/a> about whether his committee had any previous contact with the \u201cwhistleblower\u201d who initiated the inquiry, he clarified and said Intelligence Committee staff had helped the \u201cwhistleblower\u201d file the complaint.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B3\" class=\"a8d adSo\"><\/figure>\n<p>The \u201cwhistleblower\u201d also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/schiff-hired-former-nsc-colleague-of-alleged-whistleblower-eric-ciaramella-the-day-after-trumps-ukraine-call\">reportedly<\/a> had previously worked with Intelligence Committee staff whom Schiff had brought over from the National Security Council.<\/p>\n<p>As the senior staffer on the committee, Goldman was almost certainly involved with all of these relationships, and likely knows who the \u201cwhistleblower\u201d is \u2014 and whether he is in fact <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realclearinvestigations.com\/articles\/2019\/10\/30\/whistleblower_exposed_close_to_biden_brennan_dnc_oppo_researcher_120996.html\">Eric Ciamarella<\/a>, a name the media and Big Tech censored.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>Goldman also was largely responsible for the committee\u2019s report, which misstated key facts, falsified important quotes, and invented a new, unconstitutional standard for impeaching the president.<\/p>\n<p>When Schiff, bizarrely, refused to appear at the House Judiciary Committee to defend his own impeachment report, he tapped Goldman to appear instead. The humorless Goldman declined to explain Schiff\u2019s absence.<\/p>\n<p>And when Republicans asked Goldman directly who had given the instruction to spy on the phone records of individuals named in the report \u2014 including the president\u2019s lawyer \u2014 Goldman <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2019\/12\/09\/democrat-counsel-daniel-goldman-refuses-to-say-who-ordered-phone-snooping\/\">refused to answer<\/a>. The phone records implicated attorney-client privilege as well as the civil liberties of private citizens and members of Congress.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B4\" class=\"a8d adSo\"><\/figure>\n<p>Goldman is now promising to take his inquisitorial skills to New York, picking up the anti-Trump crusade that has been led by Letitia James, who is now running for governor, and Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance. Both have turned the law upside down looking for some way to prosecute former President Trump and anyone close to him.<\/p>\n<p>Goldman casts himself in their mold, hoping to impress Democratic primary voters by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/clips\/2021\/11\/16\/trump-impeachment-counsel-goldman-announces-run-for-ny-ag-i-was-on-the-front-lines\/\">reminding<\/a> them that he was \u201con the front lines\u201d with Schiff, against Trump.<\/p>\n<p>But anyone who cares about civil liberties, and due process, and the abuse of power by government officials should vote for whoever is running against Goldman.<\/p>\n<p>And members of the press corps covering the campaign should demand that he answer the questions he has long avoided: Who was the \u201cwhistleblower\u201d? Who gave the order to search the phone records? Why did you deny basic due process rights to the president?<\/p>\n<p>Now that he\u2019s asking for votes, Goldman should no longer be able to hide behind his boss.<\/p>\n<p><em>Joel B.
