Schiff Tapped Former MSNBC Contributor To Question Key Ukraine Envoy thefederalist.com/2019/10/04/ada…
Payroll records from the U.S. House of Representatives show that Schiff hired Goldman in January of 2019. News reports from last March indicate that Schiff named Goldman as the director of investigations for the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI).
Schiff has used his perch as chairman of that committee to investigate and spread debunked conspiracy theories, such as Russian collusion, about President Donald Trump.
Former special counsel Robert Mueller confirmed earlier this year that his investigation found zero evidence of treasonous collusion between the Russian government and the Trump campaign to steal the 2016 election from former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
“How can the American people trust that this impeachment process is fair if MSNBC and Adam Schiff are running the show behind the scenes?” a congressional official with direct knowledge told The Federalist. “This partisan mockery cannot be ignored. Schiff should be ashamed.”
At one point Goldman became so flustered during his questioning of Volker that Schiff unexpectedly shut Goldman down and began questioning Volker himself, one official said.
Schiff was blasted for blatantly lying about his committee’s secret coordination with the anti-Trump complainant. Schiff’s most egregious lies about his illicit interactions with the anti-Trump complainant were made on MSNBC, where Goldman previously worked as legal analyst
Last December, Goldman endorsed discredited conspiracy theories from Christopher Steele, a Brit who was funded by the Clinton campaign and the DNC to work with foreign governments to spread dirt about Trump in order to influence voters in the 2016 presidential elections.
In December, Goldman claimed that a debunked allegation that former Trump attorney Michael Cohen had traveled to Prague in August of 2016 to secretly plot with Kremlin officials had been corroborated.
He also claimed, long after the Steele dossier had been debunked, that “nothing had been undermined” in the dossier. In his report detailing the findings of his investigation of Russian collusion allegations, Mueller explicitly debunked the notion that Cohen traveled to Prague.
In July of 2018, Goldman claimed the FBI would have been “derelict” if it failed to cite false claims from the Steele dossier in multiple Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, or FISA, warrants in 2016 and 2017.
As an MSNBC contributor, Goldman also falsely claimed during the nomination and confirmation of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh that Christine Blasey Ford’s rape accusations against Kavanaugh had been corroborated.
“[S]ome corroboration already does exist,” Goldman wrote in October of 2018. Goldman also claimed that notes from one of Ford’s 2013 therapy sessions, which did not even mention Kavanaugh’s name, nonetheless corroborated her allegations that Kavanaugh tried to rape her in the 80s
Prior to joining MSNBC, Goldman worked as an assistant U.S. attorney in New York under federal prosecutor Preet Bharara, an anti-Trump partisan and former Democratic Senate staffer who Trump fired in March of 2017.
So two political hacks and proven liars (Schiff and Goldman) are spearheading the Democrat efforts to frame President Trump for attempting to bribe the Ukranian government. I wouldn't be surprised to learn these two also helped write the Steele Dossier.
