How odd....first they try to force their way in with cell phones and now they boycott? They need attention...or just a hug.“Under your chairmanship, the House Intelligence Committee has strayed far from its mandate of overseeing the Intelligence Community. In fact, we have gone months at a time in which we’ve hardly held any oversight-related briefings or hearings at all.
During this period of inadequate oversight, numerous critical issues pertinent to this Committee’s jurisdiction were ignored”
They continued, noting that DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz issued his FISA report on Dec. 9 which identified “seventeen serious shortcomings related to the conduct” of the (Intel) surveillance of former Trump campaign foreign policy aide Carter Page. The Republicans argued that the committee is “uniquely positioned to consider” the “serious legal and policy questions” that arose from Horowitz’s report.
“The IG Report was followed by the release of a declassified assessment by the Department of Justice acknowledging that at least two of the four FISA applications lacked probable cause.
Despite the seriousness of these issues and our clear jurisdiction, you have failed to hold a single briefing or hearing on this matter.”
Until the Committee prioritizes oversight activities related to urgent and critical concerns, Republican Members cannot support distractions from our core responsibilities.
We hope this Committee can move past political investigations and publicity stunts and get back to the important work we traditionally have undertaken on a bipartisan basis.”
Schiff is (God knows why still) the Chairman of the House Intel Committee whose responsibility is to provide oversight of the 17 Intel Agencies and the Intel Processes / strategy / adherence to the Constitution and existing law....yet, despite all the evidence of the criminal misuse of these agencies and US Intel, despite all the evidence of the corruption, Conspiracy, collusion, and treason within the Intel Community over which they hold oversight, Schiff facilitated and engaged in that activity and never once held a House Intel Oversight Committee Hearing to investigate / provide oversight / FIX and/or eliminate any of it.
The 'prisoners' / 'criminals', under Schiff's chairmanship, it seems, have been running the House Intel Committee....just like how the very same people who committed the FISA Court Abuses are now the same ones tasked by the Deep State to 'fix' it and make sure this treason / these violations of the Constitution and Law never happen again.
The GOP, however, boycotted the criminal ineptitude of Adam Schiff, his inability or unwillingness, to do his job, which was / is to prevent, end, and eliminate mis-use of, corruption, and illegal abuse within the US Intel Agencies....
Schiff should first be stripped of his Chairmanship of the House Intel Committee chairmanship as well as his position o the Committee, especially after he admitted to leaking classified information to harm the President.
Secondly, Schiff should be indicted, perp-walked, charged, tried, convicted, and imprisoned for his crimes, which includes admitting to leaking classified.
House Republicans boycott intel hearing, accuse Schiff of ignoring FISA abuse
