Congressman Adam “Pathfinder” Schiff appears to be America’s answer to Jacques Clouseau. He was pranked by two Russian radio hosts. He has since claimed he knew what was going on but that’s somewhat difficult to believe given that he sent his staff to try to collect “classified materials for the FBI”.
For more than 7 months, John Batchelor and Thadeus McCotter have carefully documented the hilarious antics of the Pathfinder. It’s truly amazing that anyone still takes him seriously.

the only reason the dimwit gets any press is because he mouths the party line no matter how stupid that may be.
Schiff, Swalwell, Waters, Pelosi … there must be something in the Perrier.
It’s almost like the Dems purposely want Schiff to look stupid. I’m guessing it’s an effort to make Pelosi look less senile in comparison.
I think Pelosi is working hard on setting herself up for an insanity plea.
Maybe the entire US intelligence establishment was punked from day one.
Last night, the former VP was on TV Joesplaining FBIgate. Listening to him, I couldn’t get out of my head the possibility that the FBI/CIA etal, were duped, and, if true, rather easily. After all, hubris has its downsides.
All I could think of was the late William J Casey. He would have run circles around todays intelligence mandarins; he was a mastermind at feeding bogus information (think Trojan horse) to Russian intelligence. As a tactic, this was old hat. The purpose was to distract (Look a squirrel), demoralize, and send the Russians on very expensive wild goose chases (as in trying to copy bogus weapons systems). The added bonus was that resources consumed on bogus stuff couldn’t be used to create more mischief.
I don’t know if this fits the timeline, but just hypothetically, what is more damaging? Learning that the FBI colluded or that they were duped.
And now I feel PUNKED after realizing this story is ONE YEAR OLD. Not really … because I don’t seem to recall this nonsense being broadcast last year. Forgive me me for taking up the space necessary to reprint the ACTUAL PHONE CONVERSATION between Schiff and this Radio Moscow shock jock … but it drives home the question I have rattling around in my tiny little conservative brain … What in THE hell is a US Congressman doing on the phone with some unvetted nonsensical third-party (at best) Moscovite with salacious rumors to peddle about President Trump? Is THIS what he envisions as his job description? What an absolute TOOL. Schiff is nothing more than a white trash version of Maxine Waters.
Adam Schiff: Hi, how are you?
Caller: Hello Mr. Schiff, thank you for your time.
Schiff: Thank you, Chairman. I appreciate the opportunity to speak to you.
Caller: I know that you work for investigation regarding Trump and Russian government.
Schiff: Yes
Caller: We have some important information about it.
Schiff: And that is documented as well in materials you want to provide to us?
Caller: Yes. Could I explain you where we are?
Schiff: Yes of course. But again, I would caution that our Russian friends may be listening to the conversation so I wouldn’t share anything over the phone that you wouldn’t want them to hear.
Caller: No, I don’t think that will impact on our investigation.
Schiff: Yes. Please, go ahead then.
Caller: In November 2013, Mr. Trump visited Moscow, it was competition Miss Universe. There he met with Russian journalist and celebrity Ksenia Sobchak.
Schiff: I’m sorry, can you explain that again? While he was in Moscow in November 2013 he met with a journalist?
Caller: Well, she’s poor journalist. But anyway, she became famous because Putin is her godfather.
Schiff: Okay. Putin godfather, okay.
Caller: She also known as the person who provide support for oligarchs. She met with Trump and she brought him one of Russian girl celebrities, Olga Buzova, who’s also known as person who’s [unintelligible].
Schiff: Okay, and how do you spell her name?
Caller: Olga Buzova.
Schiff: So Olga Buzova is a friend of the reporter?
Caller: Yes, she’s a friend of reporter and I think a special agent of Russia Secret Service Ksenia Sobchak.
Schiff: That Sobchak is or Olga is?
Caller: No, Sobchak is [unintelligible]
Schiff: Okay. So Buzova met with Trump in New York at some point after the 2013 Miss Universe.
Caller: Yes, absolutely. And she got compromising materials on Trump after their short relations.
Schiff: Okay. And what’s the nature of the Kompromat?
Caller: Well, there were pictures of naked Trump.
Schiff: Okay. And so Putin was made aware of the availability of the comprising material?
Caller: Yes, of course. Buzova shared those materials with Sobchak and Sobchak shared those materials with Putin, because she’s the goddaughter of Putin. And Putin decided to press Trump.
Schiff: And the materials you could provide to the committee or to the FBI, would they corroborate this allegation?
Caller: Sure, of course. When they were in Ukraine we got their conversation by the phone where they are discussing those compromising materials. We are ready to provide it.
Schiff: So you have recordings of both Sobchak and Buzova where they are discussing the compromising material on Trump?
Caller: Absolutely, and we also know who was a mediator between Trump and Russian government who met with ex-advisor of Trump, Mr. Flynn. It was Russian singer, very famous singer, Arkadiy Ukupnik, who met with Mr. Flynn on Brighton Beach in Brooklyn in special Russian café Langeron.
Schiff: What’s that again?
Caller: Langeron.
Schiff: Langeron?
Caller: Yes, it’s on Brighton Beach. It’s a Russian district in Brooklyn.
Schiff: And do you know what was discussed?
Caller: They discussed many things. But the most interesting thing is they used a special password for their meetings. When they met each other they said ‘The weather is good on Deribasivska.’
Schiff: The weather is good in – where?
Caller: ‘The weather is good on Deribasivska.’ That is the name of a street in Odessa. Did you hear?
Schiff: Yes, I did. So it’s a street in Odessa?
Caller: Yes.
Schiff: And the code word is ‘Weather is good on ‘Zerabasta’?’
Caller: Deribasivskaya. Deribasivskaya.
Schiff: Okay. And I’ll have my staff call up to get spellings and more details on this.
Caller: The next part of their password was, ‘It rains again on Brighton Beach.’
Schiff: ‘It rains again on Brighton Beach.’
Caller: Yes. On that meeting, Ukupnik told Flynn that all those compromising materials will never be released if Trump will cancel all the Russian sanctions.
Schiff: Okay. Well obviously we would welcome the chance to get copies of those recordings. So we will try to work with the FBI to figure out along with your staff how we can obtain copies of those.
Caller: Of course we will provide you all our copies of all our materials. But I also would like to let you know that Sobchak and Buzova will pretty soon visit our country and we could arrest them and deliver them to your embassy and we also could extradite them to your country and you can put them to your special jail Guantanamo.
Schiff: Well, I’ll be in touch with the FBI about this. And we’ll make arrangements with your staff. I think it probably would be best to provide these materials both to our committee and to the FBI. So we’ll make arrangements between my staff and yours on how to facilitate that. And we’ll also obviously let the FBI know about Buzova and Sobchak’s plans to travel to Ukraine.
Caller: I also advise you to check all Sobchak’s visits in the West because she was in the West very often and suggest you check what she did there actually. And I also would like to look at Russian café on Brighton Beach Langeron and especially on head of Russian Mafia Uncle Mischa.
Schiff: Uncle Mischa? In Brighton Beach?
Caller: Yes, he’s the head of Russian mafia. And he’s located on that restaurant on Brighton Beach.
Schiff: Okay.
Caller: I just want to advise you just to look at them, please.
Rep. Schiff: Alrighty. This was very helpful, I appreciate it. Anything else you wanted to add today?
Caller: Well I hope that my information will be useful for you and your committee. And I also would like to advise you when you or your colleagues will meet with Mr Trump I advise you to tell him first part of the password, ‘The weather is good on Deribasivska,’ and look at how his face will change color.
Schiff: And so those passwords were used with Mr. Trump?
Caller: Yes, of course.
Rep. Schiff: Okay. Well thank you very much. We will be back in touch with you through our staff to make arrangements to obtain these materials for our committee and the FBI. I appreciate you reaching out to us.
Caller: Well let’s be in touch and wait for your response from FBI.
Schiff: Excellent. I’ll have them follow up as soon as possible, and I thank you again. Goodbye.
You have to remember these people are a couple steps short of a basement staircase.
Many of them graduated from Yale or Harvard.
And they believe any Schiff they hear.
Never forget,Liberalism is a progressive disease.
These bandits will say and do anything for power.
If cornered…”I am sick”
