There’s a special kind of satisfaction in watching a political weasel finally face the fallout from years of deceit and abuse of power. For so long, Adam Schiff operated as if he were untouchable — spinning lies, smearing reputations, and destroying lives in the name of partisan gain. But the walls are closing in, and that smug sense of immunity is cracking.
Now, Schiff finds himself trapped in the same web of manipulation and dishonesty he so gleefully wove for others. The man who once fancied himself a crusader for “truth” is learning that accountability cuts both ways. It won’t undo the damage he’s done — not by a long shot — but seeing him sweat under the weight of his own corruption? That’s a good start.
Schiff is finally getting a taste of what accountability feels like, and it’s not going down easy. His long, smug reign of deceit and self-righteous bluster is coming apart, and it’s happening in spectacular fashion.
Enter GOP Sen. Eric Schmitt of Missouri, who delivered a masterclass in dismantling Schiff’s sanctimony during a recent Senate committee hearing — reportedly alongside Justice Department officials, possibly Pam Bondi or one of her representatives. It was a thing of beauty.
True to form, Schiff kicked things off with his usual pompous lecture on the “weaponization of government” — a topic he knows better than anyone, having practically written the manual on it. But this time, he wasn’t the inquisitor — he was the one getting flayed by facts. And watching it unfold was nothing short of glorious.
Schiff was reminded, despite his “pardon” from President Biden, by Schmidt, Missouri’s former attorney general, that there is no statute of limitations on “conspiracy”:
Glorious. Oh, and about that pardon…well, it might not be valid after all, thanks to the House Oversight Committee, which has declared Biden’s autopen pardons “null and void”:
Hey Schiff, you know what? “No one is above the law.” Now might be time to get a good lawyer.
Maybe you saw the video of the woman who slipped and fell in the store. This occurred in the year 2012. The picture became viral after the text was added, becoming a widely shared online image. Jennifer Knapp Wilkinson, after confirming that she is the woman in the photo, made the following remarks regarding
“These are my 15 minutes of fame. You’ve probably seen the picture. The worst thing about it is that she makes people think that a fat woman falls out of a stroller because she is too lazy to get out of the stroller to get the juice she wants to buy.”
“I have a very serious disease of the spine, one of the bones of the spine, a vertebra, has moved.” “The most common symptoms of the disease are those related to weakness of the body and legs. Also, because of this, I am obese and suffer from chronic depression. I struggle with my illness every day, I joined a gym, but my weight is still a struggle.”
“The picture was taken in 2012 when my legs hurt a lot, so I used a stroller. I wanted to buy juice for my husband, he drank something like that in huge quantities.”
“I leaned over to pick it up, but the stroller slipped. I didn’t think about the incident because I got used to people making malicious comments about me.”
Even if you can’t see my disabilities, they are real and they are there. So the next time you see pictures of people making fun of you, remember that you know nothing about those people or the issues they have to face every day. Laughing at someone is NEVER harmless.”
“I do not ask anyone to accept obesity, this is a problem that triggers many other diseases. At the same time, I do not ask anyone to feel sorry for me or to feel sorry for me.”
“What I want is compassion, understanding, and respect for another human being. I am a person – please treat me as such! ”
