Even CNN has finally turned on Adam Schiff due to his continued lies.
CNN’s Dana Bash called Schiff out on some of his most notorious lies to his face.
Schiff was interviewed on CNN along with Eric Swalwell and Ilhan Omar after they were kicked off their respective committee’s earlier this week.
“You said that there was direct evidence of the fact that Donald Trump colluded with Russia back in 2016″ Bash said to Schiff.
“Special counsel Robert Mueller said in his report, quote, ‘The investigation did not establish that members of the Trump campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government.’”
Bash continued, “Republicans argue that’s proof that you used your position on the Intelligence Committee to intentionally mislead Americans, which is why you should not be on that committee.”
Schiff seemed rattled by these comments, and simply gave the same old debunked lie that got him in trouble in the first place.
Watch:
Bash grilled Schiff on his infamous false claim that he never spoke to a whistleblower over the first Trump impeachment:
“Ahead of the first Trump impeachment you said the committee had not spoken to a whistleblower, in fact that turned out not to be true. The Washington Post said so in their fact check,” Bash said, addressing Schiff.
In response, Schiff stumbled over his words before saying, “I should have been more clear in my answer”.
“The Washington Post identified that, yes, before that person became a whistleblower they sought advice from the committee,” Schiff began. “When I was asked the question, I thought they were referring to whether we had brought the whistleblower in. I should have been more clear in my answer,” Schiff said.

Daily Wire reported:
Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), who was recently booted off the House Intelligence Committee, faced scrutiny during an interview on Sunday over past examples of him allegedly politicizing intelligence information for partisan gain.
Schiff made the remarks during an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union” with host Dana Bash while talking about losing his spot on the committee.
“You said that there was direct evidence of the fact that Donald Trump colluded with Russia back in 2016. Special counsel Robert Mueller said in his report — quote — ‘The investigation did not establish that members of the Trump campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government,’” Bash said. “Republicans argue that’s proof that you used your position the Intelligence Committee to intentionally mislead Americans, which is why you should not be on that committee.”
Schiff claimed that the report did not say that and that the report revealed that then-candidate Donald Trump’s campaign manager shared internal campaign polling data with a Russian agent. “To most Americans, that is collusion,” he claimed. “Now, whether it’s proof beyond a reasonable doubt of the crime of conspiracy — that’s what Bob Mueller was talking about — I have always distinguished between the two.”
