From made-up claims of Russian collusion to a manufactured scandal around Ukraine, Schiff, the House Intelligence Committee chair and former impeachment manager, has now attached himself to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi\u2019s Jan. 6 Committee to carry out the Democrats\u2019 <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/01\/06\/one-year-ago-today-a-new-hoax-was-born\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">latest hoax<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>On Sunday, Schiff regurgitated the same routine talking points of prior smear campaigns with claims of hard evidence implicating Trump in a major plot of malfeasance worthy of indictment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ll show evidence of the President\u2019s involvement in this scheme,\u201d Schiff <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2022\/06\/19\/politics\/january-6-hearing-schiff-trump-pence-cnntv\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">told<\/a> CNN, presumably in reference to the plans Trump openly supported to halt certification of the Electoral College votes on Jan. 6, 2021, as if it were a cover-up for something illegal. Are Democrats going to impeach the former president for a third time? Did it suddenly become illegal to contest election results after Democrats <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/06\/13\/second-j6-hearing-criminalizes-republicans-for-election-objections-after-democrats-made-them-for-decades\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">objected<\/a> to certification in 2001, 2005, and 2017?<\/p>\n<p>Schiff, however, refused to reveal his \u201cevidence\u201d because he didn\u2019t \u201cwant to get ahead\u201d of the hearing on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>The comments follow the same playbook as the California lawmaker used to push the Russia collusion hoax to undermine the first half of the Trump presidency, almost identically. Schiff would go on a Sunday political talk show with a friendly interviewer, claim to have bombshell evidence of Trump\u2019s misconduct, and refuse to reveal his hand, allowing viewers to draw their own conclusions based on prejudicial coverage from the same media.<\/p>\n<p>Days after the collusion narrative fell apart with the publication of Robert Mueller\u2019s report in 2019, Schiff went on ABC\u2019s \u201cThis Week with George Stephanopoulos\u201d to make <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/story\/2019\/04\/21\/adam-schiff-collusion-trump-1283786\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">claims<\/a> of having \u201cample evidence of collusion in plain sight.\u201d Apparently, Mueller, who operated a two-year special counsel investigation run entirely by Democrats with unlimited resources, missed what was hiding in \u201cplain sight.\u201d Yet Schiff merely pointed at the report as proof of showing something it did not.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery act that I\u2019ve pointed to as evidence of collusion has now been borne out by the report,\u201d Schiff said, though the report revealed no such scheme of covert collusion between the Kremlin and anyone from the Trump campaign, let alone Trump himself. By December, Schiff would be mocking the supposedly very serious intelligence underpinning theories of Russian collusion with <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2019\/12\/13\/schiffs-very-serious-dossier-intel-is-now-just-a-pee-tape-joke-to-him\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">jokes<\/a> about the president\u2019s alleged pee tapes.<\/p>\n<p>That Schiff went on-air with CNN again Sunday after years of parroting false propaganda is yet more evidence of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalreview.com\/magazine\/2019\/12\/31\/cnn-is-not-a-news-network\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">cable network<\/a> itself having become an outfit for left-wing propaganda. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"zNg1wVISbx3tifcv8YKCMpP4REH6GjTnkqhlJa0ryXO72Wu\"><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">This man lied FOR YEARS and said he had evidence Trump stole the 2016 election by colluding with Russia. Instead of media banning him from their shows on account of his many damaging lies, they bring him on to tell more. Because they\u2019re propaganda. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ttD8u5kGQK\">https:\/\/t.co\/ttD8u5kGQK<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Mollie (@MZHemingway) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MZHemingway\/status\/1538643110749667329?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 19, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><\/span>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>But there are no repercussions for Schiff, an 11-term congressman whose voters have endorsed their representative\u2019s crusade against the former Republican president with fictitious crimes. As for the media, who enthusiastically offer him a national platform, their repercussions have come in the form of lost credibility among a public that\u2019s lost faith in the nation\u2019s institutions, while their ideologically-aligned viewers remain misled and satisfied. <\/p>\n<p>The well-founded skepticism of legacy media, however, helped <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2021\/01\/08\/to-heal-we-must-first-acknowledge-plummeting-public-trust-is-reasonable\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">lead to the events<\/a> of Jan. 6 that Democrats continue to brand as on par with Pearl Harbor and 9\/11, wherein the mob of Trump supporters entered the Capitol after becoming convinced they could trust no one but the president who told them the election was fraudulent.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n<p>\n  Tristan Justice is the western correspondent for The Federalist.
