When Karl questioned the California congressman on President Joe Biden\u2019s gross incompetence in <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2023\/01\/12\/biden-turned-classified-documents-into-a-scandal-to-get-trump-but-whos-laughing-now\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">mishandling classified documents<\/a>Schiff used the interview to make smears, as it was. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/james-comer-release-visitor-logs-delaware-home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">efforts<\/a> His Republican colleagues investigated the matter and took cheap shots at Trump.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCongress shouldn\u2019t try to interfere with the [DOJ\u2019s] investigations [into Biden]. I think sadly that\u2019s what [Kentucky GOP Rep. James] Comer\u2019s object is,\u201d Schiff. \u201cHe showed no interest in investigating the far more serious situation with about 100 classified documents at Mar-a-Lago with evidence in the public domain of obstruction. Now he\u2019s suddenly interested in investigating President Biden.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think there\u2019s so many stark contrasts [between Joe Biden and] Donald Trump on policy, on decency, on devotion to the truth,\u201d He added separately.<\/p>\n<p>These comments were made the day Biden was arrested. <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/03\/08\/heres-the-full-list-of-every-lie-joe-biden-has-told-as-president-part-three\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">falsely claiming<\/a> during a Sunday appearance at Martin Luther King Jr.\u2019s former church that \u201che began his career as a mid-20th-century civil rights activist.\u201d<\/p>\n[embedded content]\n<p> Schiff Refrains from Scrutiny <\/p>\n<p>While Karl\u2019s teeing Schiff up to regurgitate White House talking points should come as little surprise to anyone familiar with the legacy media\u2019s propagandist tendencies, it\u2019s what the ABC News host didn\u2019t include in his line of questioning that\u2019s even more revealing about the interference media figures run for Democrat politicos.<\/p>\n<p>Matt Taibbi, a journalist, has published a series over the past few weeks. \u201cTwitter Files\u201d documenting efforts by Schiff and his staff to pressure Twitter into censoring individuals and content they didn\u2019t approve of \u2014 even if said accounts or posts didn\u2019t violate the platform\u2019s guidelines.
