President Trump called for House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff to resign after the California Democrat read a parody of the president’s phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky during a hearing on a whistleblower complaint about the conversation.
“Rep. Adam Schiff fraudulently read to Congress, with millions of people watching, a version of my conversation with the President of Ukraine that doesn’t exist. He was supposedly reading the exact transcribed version of the call, but he completely changed the words to make it sound horrible, and me sound guilty,” Trump tweeted Friday.
“Adam Schiff therefore lied to Congress and attempted to defraud the American Public. He has been doing this for two years. I am calling for him to immediately resign from Congress based on this fraud!” Trump said.
...sound horrible, and me sound guilty. HE WAS DESPERATE AND HE GOT CAUGHT. Adam Schiff therefore lied to Congress and attempted to defraud the American Public. He has been doing this for two years. I am calling for him to immediately resign from Congress based on this fraud! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 27, 2019
Trump later demanded an investigation into Schiff: "He is a sick man!"
Rep. Adam Schiff totally made up my conversation with Ukraine President and read it to Congress and Millions. He must resign and be investigated. He has been doing this for two years. He is a sick man! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 27, 2019
Republicans tore into Schiff on Thursday for reading an altered version of Trump’s call with Zelensky during a hearing with acting Director of National Intelligence Joseph Maguire.
During the hearing, Schiff, while appearing to read from a piece of paper, gave what was plainly summarizing how he characterized Trump's call. “I have a favor I want from you,” Schiff said “And I’m going to say this only seven times, so you better listen good. I want you to make up dirt on my political opponent, understand? Lots of it, on this and on that.”
After some Trump defenders attacked him for "making up" quotations, Schiff responded: “My summary of the president’s call was meant to be at least partly parody. The fact that that’s not clear is a separate problem in and of itself. Of course, the president never said, ‘If you don’t understand me I’m going to say it seven more times.’ My point is, that’s the message that the Ukraine president was receiving in not so many words."
Yep. Looks like we got another Sessions here.
IT SEEMS THAT THE ENTIRE SCRIPT IS A FABRICATION FROM BATFACE CARVILLE AND GEORGE STEPHENOPOLIS.
No it isn’t we have all the evidence.
Barr is a subject of the complaint so he has to tread carefully.
Schiffty is clearly insane. Look at those crazy eyes.
He attempted to secure damaging information on the president from people he believed to be Russians. He should be arrested for that.
They attacked me mercilessly yesterday for a comment I made that all of the media lies spewed out to the LIV's are going to potentially endanger the President's re-election and tie up his administration with BS while slowing/stopping MAGA going forward. You would have thought I had attacked their dear old grannies or something.
Once upon a time, this site used to be a haven for rational thought and intelligent discussion. Now it's just a right-wing bloodfest for the (understandably) frustrated kiddos. But I still come here because it's where all the best articles are posted. And there's still some good rational discourse with folks like you.
Aren’t there rules? if no rules ...
This is all contrived bullshit from traitors. This needs to be exposed for what it is and dealt with malice and extreme prejudice.
Hell is too good for him.
I totally agree with you and have stated the same many times here on FR. In my opinion a lot of people were up to a lot of criminal behavoir during the Obama years including Obama. Probably involving a lot of money that changed hands. They are scared sh$$tle$$ Hate alone doesn’t produce this level of insanity.
Those who get their news from lib msm will never know it was all lies, which was the point. Lock him up along with a bunch more.
There was obviously no humor intended, so that’s not a parody. It’s a libel in the general sense. There’s no excuse for it. It’s trashy—the work of a criminal mind.
When are the pubbies going to wake up and fight tooth and nail?
"Avoid war if possible, for it is terrible...but if war should come, fight it tooth and nail until the enemy's ability to make war against you is destroyed."
“We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender!”
Thank you Winnie for the inspiring words.
I don't think one of the pubblies has any urgency of the radical left attacks on the Repubic as we know it. Clueless, spineless chickenhearts. Every last one of them.
Agreed. The best that most of us can do is to speak in our own communities to inform our neighbors.
Sound advice, but the FreeRepublic outrage mob will be coming after you now. They’re hell-bent on screaming at the moon and fomenting CWII, whatever that means.
I have been on FreeRepublic since 2001. Back then it was more WILD WEST than civilized and FLAME WARS were common.
As long as the replies are civil I will participate in the discussion, but once they become irrational I simply ignore them.
I have total confidence that he is doing his job. You're not hearing anything about his work because nobody is leaking...........
