The Pot-Kettle-Black Impeachment

Rep. Adam Schiff said that if Barack Obama encouraged a foreign power to investigate a political opponent, then the last president would have committed an impeachable offense.

"Under no circumstances do you go outside of your own legitimate law enforcement process to ask a foreign power to investigate your rival, whether you think there's cause or you don't think there's cause," Schiff explained during the impeachment trial.

Not only did the Obama administration link arms with foreigners to take down a political rival, but Schiff also ran interference for that propaganda effort by falsely claiming to know of "More than circumstantial evidence" that the Donald Trump campaign colluded with Russia to win the 2016 election, a charge invalidated by the Mueller Report and much else.

A joint operation of the Democratic National Committee, the Hillary Clinton campaign, and, ultimately, the Obama Justice Department, Christopher Steele's opposition research - euphemistically rechristened an "Intelligence dossier" in the press - peddled false information obtained by a bought foreign agent utilizing bought sources in a foreign country, i.e., Russia, to smear the Republican presidential nominee.

In Steele's so-called dossier, he describes Source A as "a senior Russian Foreign Ministry figure," Source B as "a former top level intelligence officer still active in the Kremlin," and Source C as "a senior Russian financial official."

Did Barack Obama sic the Justice Department on those using foreigners to derail an ostensibly free and fair American presidential election?

Sen. Richard Burr grasped the hypocrisy in asking during the impeachment trial whether or not the House managers considered the Steele dossier foreign interference.
