Rep. Adam Schiff who is the Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee is pushing to dismiss a lawsuit that would expose him for the rat that he is.
The lawsuit which is seeking to release the secret subpoena documents he has is posing a risk for Schiff. He knows that he would be exposed if these get out.
The group that he's fighting is Tom Fitton and Judicial Watch, as well as some other interested parties.
The Washington Examiner reports,
“In December, conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch filed the lawsuit against Schiff and his committee seeking access to “the controversial subpoenas issued for phone records,” including those of Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani. Judicial Watch pointed out that Schiff’s impeachment report included “the publication of the private phone records of Giuliani, Congressman Devin Nunes, journalist John Solomon, Trump attorney Jay Sekulow, attorney Victoria Toensing, and other American citizens.”
Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton, a vocal supporter of Trump, vowed to “push back in court” to shed light on Schiff’s “abuse of power.”
The case is a lingering battle over impeachment. Trump was impeached by the Democratic-led House in December on charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress, but acquitted after a trial in the GOP-led Senate in early February.
Republicans criticized Schiff for the tactics he employed. Critics included House Intelligence Committee ranking member Devin Nunes, who called Schiff’s actions a “gross abuse of power.”
In their filing on Friday, Schiff’s lawyers argued Judicial Watch “has not demonstrated that the public interest in disclosure outweighs the House Defendants’ interest in non-disclosure.”
If Adam Schiff would have been honest and not so secretive about everything then this would have never taken place, but truth be told, the impeachment would have likely never taken place either. The majority of their "evidence" came from secret meetings held in the basement of the House of Representatives.
I think that we have a right to know the details regardless of whether Schiff thinks that they're pertinent or not.
“Judicial Watch’s original lawsuit filing insisted that “the records are of critical public importance as the subpoenas were issued without any lawful basis and violated the rights of numerous private citizens.” The group also asserted “disclosure of the requested records would serve the public interest by providing information about the unlawful issuance of the subpoenas.”
Judicial Watch is not that only entity that wants the records revealed. Brendan Carr, who serves as an FCC commissioner, wrote a letter to the chairman expressing his concern over his conduct during the impeachment debacle. He urged for more scrutiny on the secret subpoenas and inquired as to whether or not Schiff is still looking at private records.
Schiff’s report on impeachment included at least 3,719 pages of records. The commissioner noted Section 222 of the Communications Act, which “prohibits any telecommunications carrier from releasing customer call records except as authorized by the customer or as required by law.” He also pointed out that “federal law has long protected the privacy and confidentiality of Americans’ call records.” (RedState)
