Is Trump still not in control of his Branch of government?
On Thursday Laura Ingraham told her audience that the Deep State NSA willingly assisted Adam Schiff in his surveillance of a mainstream reporter and the President’s attorney. This raises all kinds of legal and ethical questions. This also proves once again that the US surveillance state has become an arm of the Democrat Party.
I think OP underestimates the power of a Member of Congress. When a Congressman asks for information, both the government and private businesses hop to. AT&T acted like any normal, big business that was asked for information about third parties. Such is the power of the cloak of a a Congressional Investigation.
That Adam Schiff is an unethical schlub, oh, well, that is a sad happenstance. That he can sit through a hearing, orchestrate it to hide information and restrict the opposing party's rights, watch his pet theory fall apart, walk out of the room and deliver a wrap-up smear as if it all went his way, well, that is the mark of either an unethical lawyer, or one who knows he has a weak case, but is being paid to make the best of it.
