Just a reminder of what Schiff read in Committee:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Federalist reported what exactly Schiff said:
And what is the Presidents response well it reads like a classic organized crime shake down. In essence, what the President Trump communicates is this: Weve been very good to your country. Very good. No other country has done as much as we have. But you know what, I dont see much reciprocity here. You know what I mean? I hear what you want. I have a favor I want from you though. And Im 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 dirt, on this and on that. Im going to put you in touch with people, and not just any people. Im going to put you in touch with the Attorney General of the United States my Attorney General, Bill Barr hes got the whole weight of American law enforcement behind him. And Im going to put you in touch with Rudy, youre going to love him. Trust me. You know what Im asking, so Im only going to say this a few more times, in a few more ways. And dont call me again. Ill call you when youve done what I asked.
I wonder if it was stricken from the record....
