There isn't one scintilla of the Steele dossier that was accurate, you tool bag. If you still think that, you have attained Maxine Waters level of stupidity. Too bad we don't actually have journalists in the country who would have taken Schiffy Boy apart point by point on this. F. Chuck is nothing but a sycophant, though.

Possibly the only part of the 'Steele dossier' that was accurate is that Trump went to Moscow. That is the only accurate part that Shitff was referring to.

Some of it is accurate, Adam? You mean like the part when Steele signed his real name to this sheet of lies? THAT is the only truthful thing on this scandal sheet. It's kinda fun watching Schiff tryiing to avoid responsibility for pushing this bulls4it on us for 4 years when he knew it wasn't true. HE KNEW. And that makes Adam Schiff a LIAR.

#3, Yes................ Dan "Rathergate" Rather September, 2004 "It was 10 years ago this month CBS News’ “Rathergate” scandal broke. News anchor Dan Rather and his producers aired a story slamming President George W. Bush, based on obviously forged documents — two months before Bush’s re-election." "The lesson from the scandal we should never forget is that journalists must always hold themselves to the highest of standards. CBS’s and Rather’s fallback position, that the documents were “fake but accurate,” is unacceptable."

Of course he doesn't regret it. Not only does he not regret it, he would do it again. Trumps poll numbers were forced into the 30s and 40s with the incessant drum beat of any day he will be frog marched out of the White House for treason. Trump is no longer president, with the democrat geriatric bed wetter having assumed the office. In truth, he's still pushing the Russia collusion hoax in case Trump runs again. Its the biggest driver of the January 6th clown car commission.

My thoughts on a fictional Schiff-like character in a contemporary geo-political novel (Clancy/Mills/Thor/Greaney/etc) would involve an 'off-the-books' team meting out some creative extra-judicial justice. In all seriousness, Schiff is responsible for some serious damage done to this country and deserves some serious consequences. Maybe #32 thinks that's 'creative punishment' enough.

Watching the news, one sees constant stories about COVID numbers rising, yet again, now almost two years into this pandemic, with COVID hospitalizations in some states higher than they have ever been except for the spike last December. In my state of Colorado, the test positivity rate is almost 10 percent, with 1 in 48 infected and if the current trend continues, this will be the worst COVID spike the state has seen. On the surface, that doesn’t make sense, since nearly 80 percent of eligible Coloradans have received at least one vaccine dose, suggesting the vaccines are not working as well as they should or as advertised

How would he go about building racial equity into infrastructure? The 39-year-old former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, and 2020 Democratic presidential candidate laid out his argument that highway design can reflect racism, noting that at least $1 billion in the bill will help reconnect cities and neighborhoods that had been racially segregated or divided by road projects. CORRECTIONS*
