Rep. Adam Schiff keeps moving those goalposts: 'Whether these acts are criminal or not…'

Wasn’t Rep. Adam Schiff the congressman who was always on CNN talking about how he had concrete evidence that the Trump campaign had colluded with Russia? At least until Meghan McCain cornered him on “The View” to put up or shut up, at which point he moved the goal posts into the next state.

He’s not giving up on the Mueller report — he’s formally invited Robert Mueller to testify before the House Intelligence Committee as if he were holding back information from his investigation — but he has backed off of the incendiary rhetoric a bit in front of the microphones Thursday.

First, how exactly were they unpatriotic, and second, are you going to pursue impeachment based on President Trump’s patriotism? Come on, guy, you bet it all on the Mueller report and you lost. Accept it.

In other words, I don't care if he's innocent, he'll always be guilty to me

“I was right this whole time, see?”

You said you had proof #where is it ?
Is that unethical immoral and unpatriotic ✅

Still trying to tell us that there is proof that isn't there. Sounds like 'McCarthism' starting all over again in a new form.
