DCNF – Schiff Not Convincing CNN – Featured CNN host Dana Bash grilled Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff of California Sunday about the Jan. 6 Select Committee’s refusal to hand over evidence to the Justice Department.
“So many people watching your committee hearings are asking, what is going to come of this?” Bash asked Schiff on “State of the Union.” “Is the Justice Department going to file criminal charges? First question is, why haven’t you given everything over to the Justice Department that they are asking for and they say they need in order to potentially do that?” (RELATED: ‘What We Need Are Facts’: CNN Legal Analysts Deliver A Reality Check When It Comes To Charging Trump)
“I don’t think Congress has ever done that, and I have been participating now in several investigations where there have been parallel investigations done by the Justice Department,” Schiff said. “Congress never says, ‘Hey, Justice Department, other branch of government, just come and go through our files.’ We also don’t say, ‘Hey, we want to go over and just rifle through your files.’”
WATCH: The Jan. 6 committee held three hearings since June 9, with multiple liberal media outlets hyping the possibility of fraud charges against former President Donald Trump after the second hearing. Republican Reps. Liz Cheney of Wyoming and Adam Kinzinger of Illinois, both outspoken critics of Trump, were appointed to the committee by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi after Republicans boycotted the panel.
“Have you seen evidence that the Justice Department has already opened an investigation into the former president?” Bash asked Schiff.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
