All eyes are focused on Rep. Adam Schiff in the wake of a backfired leak to CNN about Michael Cohen who may have committed “another perjury” in his testimony.
Donald Trump Jr. slammed his father’s former personal attorney and “weasel Adam Schiff” in a tweet Thursday, calling for an investigation after Cohen appeared to have contradicted his testimony before the House Oversight Committee.
The former attorney to President Trump had reportedly asked his previous lawyer, Stephen Ryan, to inquire about a presidential pardon shortly after the FBI raided his home in April 2018. If true, this would directly contradict Cohen’s congressional testimony on Feb. 27 when he stated, “I have never asked for, nor would I accept, a pardon from Mr. Trump.”
So when he was shut down in his quest for a pardon, he figured he could save his ass by telling weasel Adam Schiff whatever he wanted to hear? I hope someone looks into this purjury… and investigates the leaks. #fullofschiff

In a report on Wednesday, CNN indicated that during the House Intelligence deposition, Cohen had provided documents which showed Trump’s lawyers had made edits to the false written statement he gave to Congress in 2017. But in an update later, Cohen’s lawyer, Lanny Davis, revealed that the false line was by Cohen himself who had his attorney at the tie help to make edits.

The report from CNN came during Cohen’s closed-door testimony to the House Intelligence Committee on Wednesday, raising the issue of leaks and who was behind them.
Where is the investigation into Schiff? Whenever he goes on CNN, there’s a good chance he probably leaked something earlier in the day to one of their “reporters”. https://t.co/3RPTVmV8O0

In fact, some would even say there was a predictable pattern.
1. Schiff/Dems have been directly leaking closed door testimony to their staffers.
2. Staffers then go to various “reporters” at CNN.
3. CNN reports the staffers as “multiple sources familiar w/committee” to corroborate the leak.
4. Schiff goes on CNN.
5. Rinse/repeat.

Trump Jr. contended that “they’re not looking for the truth. It’s a joke,” noting that he was subject to just such a leak back in December 2017.
Happened to me as well. The real question is with this pattern of behavior, and the obvious source, why would anyone ever cooperate voluntarily with these committees when they know the discretion they were promised means nothing? They’re not looking for the truth. It’s a joke. https://t.co/62YX4iwniX

CNN was broadcasting the scoop from Trump Jr.s House Intelligence testimony even while he was still behind closed doors. But in an embarrassing setback for the network, the information was not actually accurate and CNN had to issue a retraction on the information that was clearly leaked.
The president suggested in a tweet on Sunday that Schiff “illegally” leaks information to “Fake News CNN and others.”
And also illegally leaking to Fake News CNN & others? https://t.co/GAItdhWniB

Twitter users weighed in on the latest Cohen bombshells and the bungled leak at CNN, questioning when – and if – Schiff would be held accountable.
And why isn’t it considered ‘Witness Tampering” when Schiff and his staff spend over 12 hours with Michael Cohen before he testified to Congress, but Paul Manafort sits in jail because he made a few phone calls?

Alan Dershowitz says the GOP should sue Schiff, Nadler and the House committee for abuse of power! Get it going Don!

Someone needs to investigate Adam Schiff’s personal finances and investigate his serial leaking.

Both Cohen and Schiff should be charged. Cohen for again lying, and Schiff for illegal leaks. https://t.co/3U4USETrLo

Amazingly, history has shown us that nothing will be done. Leaky Pants Schiff is so brazen with his disregard of rules and laws about leaking. Why shouldn’t he be, nothing ever happens to him!? He also unabashedly exclaims “we have lots of evidence that implicates Trump”. Such BS
