Tucker Carlson: Every Time Adam Schiff Said He Had Evidence Of Russia Collusion ‘He Was Lying’

Fox News host Tucker Carlson said Friday that the Russia collusion hoax and even reports of Russia hacking into Democratic National Committee (DNC) computers were “all lies, literally all of it.’

Carlson also noted that every time House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff talked about having “evidence” for then-candidate Donald Trump colluding with Russia during the 2016 presidential campaign, “he was lying.”

Referring to the House Intelligence Committee transcripts released this week that prompted the Department of Justice’s recent decision to drop charges against former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn, Carlson told viewers of  “Tucker Carlson Tonight” that the Democrats behind stories of Trump colluding with the Russians fabricated it all.

Citing former deputy assistant Secretary of Defense Dr. Evelyn Farkas’ claim that “we have very good intelligence on Russia,” Carlson said it was not true. (RELATED: AG Barr: FBI Under Comey Set A ‘Perjury Trap For Michael Flynn)

“We knew what we knew, but she didn’t know anything. Farkas was lying, as purely as a liar can lie. Once under oath, behind closed doors, Farkas admitted that, quote: ‘I didn’t know anything,’ she said. It was all lies, literally all of it.”

Carlson suggested those lies extended to stories of Russia hacking the DNC computers.

“In 2016, during the campaign, someone stole information from the DNC’s email server that wound up online and embarrassed Hillary Clinton. Democrats quickly blamed that on Russian agents and Donald Trump … their pawn. In fact, there was never real evidence that that actually happened,” Carlson said, noting that the DNC refused to allow “federal investigators to inspect their email servers.”

“Instead, the servers were inspected by a third party company called CrowdStrike,” Carlson related, adding that when Schiff interviewed Shawn Henry, the president and CSO of CrowdStrike Services, about the alleged hacking he was told, according to the transcripts released this week, “We do not have concrete evidence.” (RELATED: ‘Do You Know Anybody Who Trusts The Government Anymore?’: Tucker Carlson Blames ‘Official Washington’ For Russia Collusion Hoax)

“Adam Schiff heard those words directly, he heard them from the one person who would know for certain. Adam Schiff knew there was nothing substantial at the core of the Russian collusion story, at the very center it was hollow, a sham. Schiff never even suggested this in public, and said the opposite. He spent years on television telling you it was totally real — shut up.”

After playing clips of Schiff insisting he had “evidence” of Trump colluding with Russia, Carlson noted, “In case you weren’t counting during that montage, Adam Schiff said ‘evidence’ nine times: and every single time, he was lying.”

Schiff has continued to spin the Russian collusion hoax in interviews, recently claiming that the Mueller report backed up his accusations, when in fact it did the opposite.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
