After years, it finally happened. After years, someone finally called out Adam Schiff for the Russia hoax, for peddling Russian disinformation. You would think it would have happened by a number of journalists over the last 4-5 years, but no. because the narrative had to be preserved, and we have to attack Trump at all costs. But Morgan Ortega finally does it, and it gets even better. In his stumbling and bumbling, where everyone is to blame but Adam Schiff, he deflects by saying, "Trump incited an erection." Well, you gotta wonder what Adam Schiff is thinking about when he says, "I think the credibility of your question is in doubt." And why no one in the media would have ever questioned this sociopath before, right? You would also think that someone would have questioned Trump before this, but you would also be surprised if no one has ever questioned him before, because he has been living in his head for years, and has been spreading Russian disinformation for years. And now that the truth is finally coming out, there's no story, there is no story to be found. And that's what we all have been waiting for. And it's finally here! The truth is coming out. And Adam Schiff has finally been called out for his role in peddling the Russian conspiracy theory, and he's got a chance to answer the question. And he's not only questioned the question, but he's the one and only one person who has ever done so before. . on The View's own Morgan Otegas. Watch this exchange between Adam Schiff and I on the first person on the show, Morgan Otraeges on the View's first person to question Adam Schiff on this whole Russia conspiracy theory. And I can t wait to see what he has to say about it. I can't wait to hear Adam Schiff's response to it. I'll be back with even more! -- -- and I'm sure you'll agree that he's credibility is not in doubt. -- I'm not in any doubt that Adam Schiff did not have a shredding of the Russia conspiracy theories about what he's been peddling in the dossier, and that it's all a hoax. -- -- but I'm going to have to give Adam Schiff a proper chance to respond to it, right here on this episode of The View on The Weekly Standard's Monday morning show, Monday Morning with Alex Blumberg.
00:00:01.000It finally happened. After years, someone finally called out Adam Full of Schiff for the Russia hoax, for peddling Russian disinformation.
00:00:12.000You would think it would have happened by a number of journalists over the last four or five years, but no way, because the narrative had to be preserved and we have to attack Trump at all costs.
00:00:23.000But Morgan Ortegas finally does it, and it gets even better.
00:00:26.000In his stumbling and bumbling where everyone is to blame but Adam Schiff, he then goes on to deflect by saying, Trump incited an erection.
00:00:41.000That's one hell of a Freudian slip from Adam Schiff there, but man, you gotta wonder what he's thinking about.
00:00:48.000But anyway, that shouldn't surprise me since Trump's been living in his head for years, but You would also think that someone in the media would have questioned this sociopath before this, right?
00:00:58.000Don't forget, he read it into the congressional record, the Steele dossier.
00:01:03.000Now, the Clinton team who signed, sealed and delivered fraudulent documents to the FBI falsely accusing my father, falsely accusing myself and anyone in Trump world and probably any conservatives of Russia collusion, some of whom are being indicted now.
00:01:17.000Are finally, finally seeing the truth.
00:01:20.000And again, now that the truth is coming out, there's no story.
00:01:24.000Watch this exchange and ask yourself, why is it that no one has ever questioned him?
00:01:30.000Ask why he doesn't have even an iota of guilt or a mea culpa to ask for after spreading lie after lie after lie.
00:01:41.000Check it out and I'll be back with even more.
00:01:43.000You've been really prolific over the past few years being the head of the intel committee and you've defended, promoted, you even read into the congressional record the Steele dossier.
00:01:52.000And we know last week the main source of the dossier was indicted by the FBI for lying about most of the key claims in that dossier.
00:02:00.000Do you have any reflections on your role in promoting this to the American people?
00:02:05.000Well, first of all, whoever lied to the FBI or lied to Christopher Steele should be prosecuted.
00:02:10.000And they are. And unlike in the Trump administration, if they're convicted, they should go to jail and not be pardoned.
00:02:18.000So Donald Trump pardoned Roger Stone for lying.
00:02:36.000And let's not forget what we learned in that investigation.
00:02:40.000We learned that the Trump campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, was giving internal polling data, campaign polling data, to Russian intelligence while Russian intelligence was helping the Trump campaign.
00:02:51.000And to be clear, he was fired halfway through the campaign.
00:02:54.000Well, he may have been fired, but the effort to get Russian help continued and even beyond the effort to get Russian help.
00:03:00.000But you may have helped spread Russian disinformation yourself for years by promoting this.
00:03:05.000I think that's what Republicans and what people who entrusted you as the intel committee chair are so confused about your culpability in all of this.
00:03:12.000Well, I completely disagree with your premise.
00:03:15.000It's one thing to say allegations should be investigated, and they were.
00:03:18.000It's not to say that we should have foreseen in advance that some people were lying to Christopher Steele, which is impossible, of course, to do.
00:03:26.000But let's not use that as a smokescreen to somehow shield Donald Trump's culpability for inviting Russia to help him in the election, which they did, for trying to coerce Ukraine into helping him in the next election.
00:03:40.000Which he did. Into inciting an insurrection, which he did.
00:03:54.000Well, I think the credibility of your question is in doubt.
00:03:59.000Okay, so it's notable, guys, that Adam Schiff, who appeared on every CNN, MSDNC, Sunday morning show, news program, as often as possible, the guy has never met a camera he did not love, just had his first truly, like, adversarial questioning.
00:04:15.000Like, everyone else just went along with it.
00:04:17.000Oh, wonderful, you say this, you've seen evidence, but you won't show anyone.
00:04:21.000Mueller happens, no, it still must be true, they peddled it for years after it was disproven.
00:04:26.000And the only person ever questioned is Morgan Ortegas on The View.
00:04:30.000I mean, I can't believe I'm saying this other than I know people liked it when I went on The View because I too pushed back against the narrative for the first time in what was then 5,000 episodes.
00:04:40.000But Morgan Ortegas does it and she's the first person in journalism, in media to do it.
00:04:46.000Again, what makes it so predictable is how infrequently anyone ever challenged him on anything.
00:04:52.000He was able to skate by with this nonsense and peddle this lie for years without anyone questioning it.
00:04:58.000Finally, someone does it and it happens to be Morgan Ortiz on The View.
00:05:03.000Okay? No reason to really watch The View normally.
