It turns out, NONE of what Schiff, Democrats and their parrot media was true regarding “Russian collusion”, at least when it comes to who was actually doing the colluding.

Current Intel Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) has apparently been pushing to prevent the release — perhaps because he for years has claimed he saw “direct evidence” of Trump-Russia collusion that neither the FBI nor even Mueller’s endless probe ever found. It seems that none of the 53 witnesses interviewed by the committee — including Obama officials Jim Clapper, Loretta Lynch, Sam Power, Susan Rice, Sally Yates and Andrew McCabe — said they’d seen any evidence of collusion.

Indeed, it looks like the only “evidence” the FBI ever had was the hearsay claims (which various Russians were paid to make) in the opposition-research dossier that Hillary Clinton’s campaign commissioned — a fact that the FBI and Justice Department concealed from the courts even as it was the only basis for their wiretap requests.

As U.S. Attorney John Durham wraps up his investigation, hopefully we’ll find out who ALL the players were in this coup d’etat that was nearly pulled off and holds them responsible for all of the collateral damage done.

Folks, we lost the House of Representatives because of this. We lost two years, 2-1/2 years of an agenda being implemented. Who knows what other damage resulted to this country because of this, and half of the country — statistically half of the country — was believing every word of this. We had news organizations winning Pulitzer Prizes for their reporting on this.

Remember, they spent years reporting this four and five times a day every day, seven days a week for two years. New York Times, Washington Post, Times, CNN, MSNBC. And the whole time they knew it was all a lie. They knew there was nothing to it. It was entirely made up, and the plot hatched in the Obama Oval Office.

Adam Schiff should be removed from office, if not in handcuffs and people need to go jail so this never happens to another American ever again.

Projection is a basic, self-protective defense, and a process which affects how people understand one another. When we project, we “put” part of ourselves onto other people, usually to “get rid of” something objectionable. It is as if we are throwing a part of ourselves outward and casting it, like the image from a movie projector, onto (really, into) the other person. It often plays out in relationship dysfunction, as the defensive activity bounces back and forth between us over time, operating beneath the radar without being addressed.

Granted, the second grade “I know you are but what am I?” taunt may be appropriately descriptive of the left, the proof of their projection is all around us. They call the right violent while they routinely disrupt, riot in the street, assault counter protesters, shoot at Republican politicians and staff, leaving varying amounts of public and private property damage in their wake. They ridicule the right for not having enough “college-educated” voters while listening to those calling in on the CSPAN Washington Journal “Democrat’s line” is an exercise in frustration, listening to arrogant liberals reciting talking points proven inaccurate or just boldfaced lies weeks, if not years ago.

The left’s introduction of false narratives occur on an almost daily basis and sometimes the target of those narratives has to counter within minutes of the partisan lies as they break. For example….

The acting director of national intelligence threatened to resign over concerns that the White House might attempt to force him to stonewall Congress when he testifies Thursday about an explosive whistleblower complaint about the president, according to current and former U.S. officials familiar with the matter.
— Washington Post, 9/25/19

It took literal minutes for this story, responded to by President Trump during a press conference with the Ukrainian president, to be forcefully and publicly debunked by the subject himself.

The acting U.S. intelligence director denied reports Wednesday that he threatened to resign if the Trump administration tried to stop him from testifying freely before Congress on Thursday.

Joseph Maguire, acting director of National Intelligence, vowed to step down if he was not allowed to appear before Congress, a source familiar with the matter told NBC News. The Washington Post first reported Maguire’s threatened resignation, citing current and former U.S. officials.

In just the latest example of journalistic malpractice, citing unnamed “current and former U.S. officials” revealed yet again the perils of quotes being introduced into the public debate; “officials” who may or may not even exist but as long as it’s published in the media, “sources” are protected, real or imagined and the Democrat base has another tidbit to recite ad nauseam.

With that, it’s easy to understand why liberal Democrats are STILL repeating the Mueller Report-debunked “Russia collusion” hoax, while any Democrat within earshot of a microphone repeats that “foreign election interference, “threat to our democracy” jingle. It’s also easy to see why they and especially their media so hate President Trump. He’s challenged them, their power to influence, and especially their integrity.

But what’s most laughable is even though Democrats and their allies depend on the ability of their base to recite anything issued, that same base is being told that conservatives and Republicans are the dumb tools.

I also don’t think that hyperbole would be overstating it to say that some Democrats just think that the president’s base is too dumb to know the difference, that they wouldn’t get — even if all of the evidence pointed toward impeachment, pointed toward this being someone who needed to be removed, that the president has fooled enough people, that they are so gullible, that they will not vote against him no matter what. That’s the vibe I get from some Democrats — that this whole thing is a waste of time, because “those people” are going to pick him no matter what.

That explains why so many on the left believe the “deplorable” base of President Trump’s base can’t be depended on to abandon him on Election Day 2020, and seeing how they still haven’t been adequately punished for voting against Hillary Clinton in 2016, removing him from power now may be the only way to stop those “too dumb” from voting for him again.

But the left’s ability to consume without verification becomes equally problematic when, for example, the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee ad libs an interpretation of a phone transcript between Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky and Donald Trump; an interpretation of Trump’s words that will be recited verbatim as often as those who still, to this day, believe Sarah Palin said “I can see Russia from my house!”

We’ve been very good to your country. Very good. No other country has done as much as we have. But you know what, I don’t see much reciprocity here. You know what I mean? I hear what you want. I have a favor I want from you though. And I’m going to say this only seven times, so you better listen good. I want you to make up dirt on my political opponent, understand? Lots of dirt, on this and on that. I’m going to put you in touch with people, and not just any people. I’m going to put you in touch with the Attorney General of the United States — my Attorney General, Bill Barr — he’s got the whole weight of American law enforcement behind him. And I’m going to put you in touch with Rudy, you’re going to love him. Trust me. You know what I’m asking, so I’m only going to say this a few more times, in a few more ways. And don’t call me again. I’ll call you when you’ve done what I asked.
— Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), 9/26/19

It’s truly sad knowing how many are going to confidently quote and be motivated by Schiff’s attempt at parody.

Having to engage in political dialogue with the arrogant is bad enough. Add incorrect to arrogant and you have a pending exercise in futility on your hands, but then again, that’s probably how the political left wants it.

That headline should be THE example of Democrat projection since November 2016.

Because when the next few investigations into the Clinton Foundation, FISA abuse, and anything John Durham sprinkles on top are completed and reports are released, the left will need to depend on their base projectors. The Democrats will employ the “deny, delay, destroy” strategy perfected by Bill and Hillary during the last impeachment saga, and those three D’s were left simple enough for a reason.
