Rep. Adam Schiff D-Calif., head of the House Intelligence Committee, announced this week that he plans to subpoena special counsel Robert Mueller – and one Fox News star claims it’s all a nasty political stunt.
And it earned him a brutal new nickname: Little Fella.
“This little fella is the most absurd figure in this whole sorted scandal… and it’s a witch hunt!” Fox Business News host Lou Dobbs said about Schiff.
President Donald Trump had previously called Schiff “Little Adam” — now it’s “Little Fella”!?
Schiff’s actions are a continuation of the abuse his party engaged in throughout the Obama administration and the 2016 presidential campaign, said Dobb’s guest, Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.
“I want to see Mueller go under oath, in theory,” Fitton continued. “But I want to see him questioned about the handling of this ‘get Trump’ effort” by anti-Trump partisans in the FBI.
“And you’ve got Schiff talking like Mueller is now his number one target! He’s gonna subpoena him [and his] report. Does he have the power to do any of that?” Dobbs asked.
“It’s a lot of noise, and he’s trying to … pretend there’s something to be subpoenaed in terms of concerns on President Trump,” Fitton said. “We know there’s no collusion.”
Fitton said the Attorney General should be expressly instructing Mueller not to write up some kind of politically motivated dossier, and that anything other than the straight facts would be an abuse of the president.
Instead, the Department of Justice is allowing the president’s Congressional opponents to march people forward so the media reports that something is being hidden, he continued.
Judicial Watch, Tom Fitton’s conservative watchdog group, has been trying to sue Mueller for years to get more information on the process.
But now that the investigation is over – and the report isn’t working out the way Democrats were hoping – Schiff and his allies are suddenly interested in releasing the information?
“We were the ones trying to sue Mueller for basic information about his operations. But ‘transparency’ that’s politicized and half-baked and arbitrary… it’s selective and it’s problematic,” Fitton said.
“The American people are worthy of trust,” Dobbs said. “Let’s start with our government treating us like adults when it comes to transparency.”
But what is released by Schiff is concerning – because he could pick and choose questions that give him the answer he’s looking for.
And there’s more.
“My concern is that the special counsel is working on the [Steele] dossier 2.0,” Fitton said. The conservative lawyer was referring to the infamous and disproven dossier on Trump that former President Barack Obama’s administration used as a pretense to wiretap the Republican 2016 presidential campaign.
“We already have one unconfirmed, uncorroborated anti-Trump dossier,” Fitton said. “The Justice Department shouldn’t be in the business of writing another dossier. That’s my concern.”
“What they should be in the business of is going after people who break the law and abuse power,” Dobbs said. “And not a single person in that FBI or Department of Justice… in both cases, they’re rampant with political corruption.”
The attorney general should be busy prosecuting these corrupt individuals, Dobbs said — not writing dossiers and indulging in Congressional political stunts.
“It’s why you need people [on the outside] asking these questions,” Fitton said.
