Rep. Adam Schiff, chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, explains that the Trump administration's real goal in spinning a befuddling narrative around Mike Flynn is in keeping with a political strategy of distraction as articulated by Steve Bannon. Aired on 5/22/2020.

'Flooding The Zone With Excrement': Schiff Explains Trump's Flynn Strategy | Rachel Maddow | MSNBC
he could spilll the beans on trump
@BartJ583 Liar
@Fatma Ramadan Liar!
@surfpsych Liar
@Tony Johnson Liar. The probe was based on false pretenses, as you will find out, SOON. All evidence points to the DNC and Hillary bankrolling the whole sordid affair through Fusion GPS. It’s going to be epic watching the narrative fall apart.
@Shawn Corbin
You replied to the wrong person.
He is no relative of mine. Actually, even if he was I would never admit it.
jones Brilliant!👍🏼
@Town _Biznessman Word.
You are not alone. United we stand, united we conquer.
Namaste.

@Brenda Heeligan Thanks for the affirmation. Like John Lennon said, we all doin’ what we can. America has endured many enemies in its reletively short history, and it has endured thus far. I do not think we will succumb to these arrogant miscreants after surviving Normandy, Khe Sanh, Iwo Jima, Gettysburg, etc. These punks forget what America is about.
Be well and strong. Blessings on you and yours.
Namaste.

@amiho gatai two of them actually. If I had a dollar for everytime somebody I’d be rich bi-!!.
David A. Flynn..the A is for A+..😆
lets see the transcript… that will put this whole matter to rest
johnny johnson my guess the entire world said and is still saying collusion because of the invite Trump gave to Russia to interfere on natl tv, his acceptance of Putins denial in Helsinki against all of Congress and Intel, and the plethora of instances widely reported on and contained in the Mueller report?
Its amazing how much effort you poor Comrades expend playing pretend and spouting easily debunked debunked BS.
Its not helping poor Puppet, this time.
😢🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

1. Trump was receptive to a Campaign national security adviser’s (George Papadopoulos) pursuit of a back channel to Putin.
2. Kremlin operatives provided the Campaign a preview of the Russian plan to distribute stolen emails.
3. The Trump Campaign chairman and deputy chairman (Paul Manafort and Rick Gates) knowingly shared internal polling data and information on battleground states with a Russian spy; and the Campaign chairman worked with the Russian spy on a pro-Russia “peace” plan for Ukraine.
4. The Trump Campaign chairman periodically shared internal polling data with the Russian spy with the expectation it would be shared with Putin-linked oligarch, Oleg Deripaska.
5. Trump Campaign chairman Manafort expected Trump’s winning the presidency would mean Deripaska would want to use Manafort to advance Deripaska’s interests in the United States and elsewhere.
6. Trump Tower meeting: (1) On receiving an email offering derogatory information on Clinton coming from a Russian government official, Donald Trump Jr. “appears to have accepted that offer;” (2) members of the Campaign discussed the Trump Tower meeting beforehand; (3) Donald Trump Jr. told the Russians during the meeting that Trump could revisit the issue of the Magnitsky Act if elected.
7. A Trump Campaign official told the Special Counsel he “felt obliged to object” to a GOP Platform change on Ukraine because it contradicted Trump’s wishes; however, the investigation did not establish that Gordon was directed by Trump.
8. Russian military hackers may have followed Trump’s July 27, 2016 public statement “Russia if you’re listening …” within hours by targeting Clinton’s personal office for the first time.
9. Trump requested campaign affiliates to get Clinton’s emails, which resulted in an individual apparently acting in coordination with the Campaign claiming to have successfully contacted Russian hackers.
10. The Trump Campaign—and Trump personally—appeared to have advanced knowledge of future WikiLeaks releases.
11. The Trump Campaign coordinated campaign-related public communications based on future WikiLeaks releases.
12. Michael Cohen, on behalf of the Trump Organization, brokered a secret deal for a Trump Tower Moscow project directly involving Putin’s inner circle, at least until June 2016.
13. During the presidential transition, Jared Kushner and Eric Prince engaged in secret back channel communications with Russian agents. (1) Kushner suggested to the Russian Ambassador that they use a secure communication line from within the Russian Embassy to speak with Russian Generals; and (2) Prince and Kushner’s friend Rick Gerson conducted secret back channel meetings with a Putin agent to develop a plan for U.S.-Russian relations.
14. During the presidential transition, in coordination with other members of the Transition Team, Michael Flynn spoke with the Russian Ambassador to prevent a tit for tat Russian response to the Obama administration’s imposition of sanctions for election interference; the Russians agreed not to retaliate saying they wanted a good relationship with the incoming administration.
During the course of 2016, Trump Campaign associates failed to report any of the Russian/WikiLeaks overtures to federal law enforcement, publicly denied any contacts with Russians/WikiLeaks, and actively encouraged the public to doubt that Russia was behind the hacking and distribution of stolen emails.
@Eli Dicken all u did was just repeat ur original statement and completely ignore mines. And micheal cohen? The man that lied to congress under oath a month before he testified to congress ab trump. Thats the guy ur gonna believe. The russian argument is dead. It only gave strength to his base and increased his poll numbers. Just read the trancript adam schiff released. Unless ur to bias to acctually see the full context cause ur knowledge goes as far as ur bias allows you.
@Lars Jones lmfao u seemed extremely convinced he worked with russia. Sorry to let u down.
@Lars Jones Lay off the MSNBC dude.
It’s turning your brain into swiss cheese.
johnny johnson I just reposted for all those surfing the threads so its clear, Comrade.
😉🖕🇺🇸
someone at DNI will be sacked before any information is released.
And that will be perfectly fine if it happens and it’s legally founded. But if, for whatever reason, Trump likes them, they’ll be working again by the end of the week.
Rule of law is essential in government, even if it fails elsewhere. When you consider how much politicians can get away with legally already by working around the law, this modern era of politicians committing actual crimes and being allowed to get away with them, often in full view, on camera or in a tweet, is horrifying and must be stopped.
Wishful thinking, shill. Ratcliffe will be 10x more effective than Grenell. Buckle up.
Durango , yes in all that information is going to be doctored redacted or disappear those are trumps favorite things DRD! Then it’s the next thing, deny deflect admit, and then say it’s not that bad! Just like the impeachment hearings! There’s still 39% of this country that will fall off a cliff or drinking arsenic Kool-Aid, for Trump just so they can be murders in the name of Trump!
Undoubtedly, true, Shawn Corbin. He will push Trump’s agenda, open doors to foreign agents, permit political interference by foreign countries, close doors to huddled masses the world over and even more Americans will die through lack of preparation for this or the next pandemic attack.
Gotta love it! Benazi “the hillary conspiracy fall out” Her recklessness killed what 4 Americans? But trumpgate destroyed a shitload more Americans than bengazi!!
The Republicans refused to provide additional funding for security at Benghazi before the attack happened.
No comparison when Trump has recklessly killed 1000s of Americans. Benghazi was investigated by Republicans for 6 years then let things just fade away for lack of evidence.
@Catherine Andujar they accomplished their goal with 6 years of smears and a little help from the kgb
gotta love those Go Patriots
The real reason why they made such a fuss about Benghazi is because one of the four who got killed had billionaire parents. Yes, a billionaire pulled the strings of those politicians. I suppose if I was a billionaire and my kid got killed, I might have done something similar but honestly, the murderers were to blame not the politicians, whatever party.
‘Flooding the zone with excrement’…. right out of the GOP Playbook.
you mean like russian maddow’s russia collusion? lol
@Every man Flooding the zone with EXCREMENT, but the Excrem//nt is NOT coming out of Donald’s or SHREK Barrs’ars//h//les
It is coming right out of their lying deceiving MOUTHs and through their DENTURED teeth, con men
@Every man COMRADE, we use ENGLISH on this site. You should try it.
KGB playbook page #1 adapted for US puppet president and current ‘administration.’ The arrogance is stunning.
Cult trump in a nutshell.
Trump derangement syndrome
Thinking giving a Rouge law enforcement agency more power is somehow a good thing
william willie Free speech and criticism of those in power isn’t “tRump derangement syndrome”. False Equivalency fallacy.
“Flooding the zone with excrement” would make a nice title for a historical book on the Trump “presidency”.
I think a history of San Francisco would be more appropriate
@Walter White is a fool.
@TILT FO putin puppet.
@Walter White FO putin puppet.
@wildgoosedreaming1 …Free Tickets…………You are a Winner!
Presidential Debate
Just tell em Walter White sent you
The Russian Pro Drumpf bots are out in full force froth today.
@shkspr78 s is a total fo of a tool.
@shkspr78 s is a putin puppet.
@wildgoosedreaming1 NOPE……I have nothing to do with Putin dumdum…
@wildgoosedreaming1 that would apply to Republicans.
🤣
@wildgoosedreaming1 you’re triggered!
Bah hahaha hahaha hahaha hahaha hahaha hahaha!!!!!!
In the middle of a pandemic, these crooks cynically break the law and release hard core criminals who were properly judged and sentenced. But, Putin is a master of corruption, and tRump has the best advice from him.
All the trolls on this page believe that Bill Gates will put a chip in the covid-19 vaccine
@M P I have a friend that’s spent most of his life with the results of polio think about it for you continue this stupid idea
clark hclark haaaaaaaaaaaaa
A vaccine won’t work if people refuse to take it out of fear
@BKD Vickers tru
i don’t know. i’m sticking to my beverage of choice, blueberry-flavoured disinfectant.
APPLE Please invent a lie detector watch!
Tim Apple thought about it, but Trump’s would be stuck on stupid
No need…you see Trump and his cronies moving their lips? Lie Detected.
Colleen Kelly , no they don’t need to invent a lie detector they’ve already got a tracker on your phone that they’re selling to the US government! They’ve already been keeping track on you every day since the coronavirus started! Just look at their stock How much they’ve made since the pandemic
Flynn betrayed his country
That’s what the judge from his trial said as well.
Four words
Proof? There was nothing found in his call to warrant charges. Flynn knew Obama and Hillary were involved with the Russia collusion hoax. THAT is why Obama went after him. The FBI didn’t allow Flynn a lawyer or told him that he was being investigated. Then they threatened his family. Judge Sullivan will be impeached.
Mr DMc tell us what else you know, Comrade lol
😢🖕🇺🇸
Almost 2,000 former FBI agents and Department of Justice officials wrote an open letter Monday calling for Attorney General William Barr to resign over his handling of the Michael Flynn case, after the Justice Department abruptly dropped criminal charges against President Trump’s former national security advisor last week, despite Flynn’s earlier guilty pleas.
https://www.forbes.com/sites/alexandrasternlicht/2020/05/11/2000-former-fbi-and-doj-officials-call-on-barr-to-resign/
@Mr DMc Deaf, dumb, and blind.
‘Flooding The Zone With Excrement’ perfectly describes the Chump presidency.
R Cobb playing hide the borscht with other Comrades just makes us laugh harder.
Pro tip.
🤭
R Cobb all we can do is try and educate them. It’s called tough love. Plus who else is going to counter these giant propaganda machines besides you and me and Fox
@Eli Dicken Thank you That was very well crafted.
Trump was called racist over the travel bans he placed on Africa during that time. Not that it will change your opinion, but it had nothing to do with China. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/02/world/africa/trump-travel-ban.html
@Cisco Zerratano Oh now suddenly you’re interested in facts while you normally just believe every stupid conspiracy theory that the buffoonish orange conman in the WH comes up with??
He was caught on tape he confessed he did it = he’s guilty
Anything that Trump and Barr do is instruction of justice
It’s either obstruction of justice or instruction of injustice.
See how things getting to be under Trumpism? DUMPTRUMP 2020!
Flynn confessed. Publicly. In front of a judge.
But good ole boys rely entirely on make-believe, so no prob. Facts take something called “spine”, a duty too severe for lollipop addicts.
Mr DMc
“I had to fire General Flynn because he lied to the Vice President and the FBI. He has pled guilty to those lies,” Trump tweeted.
The poor Comrades cant explain why Flynn lied to members of the Trump Administration including the VP, though.
Besides, Flynn or no Flynn, Biden is destroying Trump.
😉🖕🇺🇸
@Mr DMc I don’t mean lie. Lying is for Trump and his toadies. I mean showing a criminal evidence of his crimes and seeing if he admits it or lies about them. Can you name an FBI lie here? I am not aware of any.
@Randy Smith What’s not what I said? Can you be specific?
@soaringvulture you are supposed to threaten criminals families? I think the word for that is extortion
@Randy Smith I think the FBI was correct to take a hard line with a traitor. He and his son were going to kidnap someone so that he could be taken back to Turkey and killed. Are you cool with that?
“‘Flooding The Zone With Excrement’
That sums up the entire GOP at every level! LOL
That’s because the swamp is still being drained
@dennis wolff you’re triggered
Your TDS and covidiocy are rampaging out of control. Avoid the November rush and get your therapist now!!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
shkspr78 s The DHICK on A Stick For Trump …….
dennis wolff 🤣👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
Schiff: You are absolutely right in saying: “Flooding the zone with excrement”. Yes. He is a master of excrement and a lot of other things. He can take *ignorance* and *stupidity* to a new level, that bamboozles us day after day. Every day you wake up to find *he has done* something that will baffle us and shake our heads …
A straight jacket and Psychiatry it is for him. To decipher his roller coaster life and presidency …
*Adams, TRUMP IS EXCREMENT PAR EXCELLENCE. What’s your beef?*
Paul Adams – you are whats wrong with America today! You are so ignorant that I’m sure the big words that Adam Schiff uses, scares you. You need a lower vocabulary like that of Trump to understand.
WHO KNEW THE DEEP STATE TRUMP TALKS ABOUT IS HIS STATE DEPARTMENT AND BARRS CORRUPT DEPT . OF JUSTICE …
