It reads like a classic organized crime shakedown. Shorn of its rambling character and in not so many words, this is the essence of what the president communicates
Yep. He makes it clear he wants to impeach a President based on what he, Schiff, made up. A flagrant lie misrepresenting what the President said.
Do you wonder at all why he did that? Why he didn’t read directly from the “incriminating” memo? Because if he had done that, everyone listening would have wondered what the heck this was all about.
So instead he does what some poster thinking they are funny would do hear: Totally make something up and then say it is in essence what some politician they dont like said…
and they would be called for doing that.
Schiff doesn’t need to be censured. At a minimum he needs to be put on some committee where he can do less harm.
Have you ever seen Doug Collins, Jim Jordan or Devin Nunes make an opening statement before a hearing? You don’t think they misrepresent teh topic?
Here’s one from Doug Collins, should he be censured for claiming the Mueller report found no collusion:
the report concludes no one in the president’s campaign colluded, collaborated or conspired with Russians.
Is that anything like the 8th Benghazi investigation wrapping up in December 2018, but not releasing its findings until…the summer before the election, right around the conventions?
Rs impeached Slick Willy over “is.” After spending years investigating allegedly shady real estate deals, all they could get him on is a procedural crime.
Anyone who pretends to believe Schiff was telling the essence of Trump’s statement is completely fabricating reality.
There is a reason Schiff made up his fabrication. If he had made a real quote, everyone would have wondered why they were having a hearing.
