Democratic Congressman Adam Schiff of California showed himself to be a liar during the special counsel’s investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 election, repeatedly claiming to have knowledge of “direct” and “ample” evidence proving President Trump’s campaign colluded with the Kremlin.

Yet despite outing himself as an untrustworthy partisan operative, many of the same members of the press who uncritically parroted Schiff and members the intelligence community during the collusion and FBI spying episodes are promoting the congressman now as a heroic and awe-inspiring manager of the impeachment proceedings; because we have learned nothing from the last three years.
