House Freedom Caucus Moves to Censure Schiff for Making Up Parts of Transcript
Townhall 'Tip Sheet' ^ | 27-Sept-2019 | Cortney O'Brien

Posted on 09/29/2019 4:06:11 PM PDT by topher

As House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff started to recall the transcript of the phone call between President Trump and Ukraine President Zelensky during Thursday's hearing with the director of national intelligence, his colleagues noted that something didn't sound right. Schiff claimed that Trump told Zelensky, "I want you to make up dirt on my political opponent, understand, lots of it, on this and on that, I’m going to put you in touch with people."

When a few Republicans on the panel noted those words were not in the transcript, Schiff clarified that his summary was meant as "parody." That explanation didn't exactly appease them, and it only gave more opportunity to Republicans like Rep. Elise Stefanik (NY) to mock him.

House Freedom Caucus Chair Andy Biggs took a different route. On Twitter he revealed that he has introduced a motion to censure Schiff (say that five times fast) for his improvised reading of the transcript.

Needs to be more severe than merely censure.

Adam Schiff manufactured evidence. He is trying to entrap the president. If a cop did this a judge would arrest him.

And he says he was just joking and we’re good, right?

BREAKING: Adam Schiff sent a House Intel staffer to Ukraine during Aug 24-31 just 12 days after receiving the whistleblower complaint. This is the same week Schiff posted his Ukraine military aid tweet - Aug 28

agreed. I posted something about the need for a SPECIAL PROSECUTOR on this to investigate ADAM SCHIFF.

I hope DOJ and Trump does something about this besides TWITTER Posts.

It is possible that the US WHISTLEBLOWER got his/her info from a corrupt Ukrainian OFFICIAL. The call was made to the Ukraine. No telling what ex KGB were listening to the call.

“Needs to be more severe than merely censure.”

Perhaps we can get them to go thermonuclear and draft a stern letter

Schiff read these lies into the Congressional Record-——penalties for falsifying the C/R have to be very severe.

After Trumps latest tweet, the senate is going to have to get involved. They are going to have to pick a side. Lets see what they do, but I expect the worst.

I’m still leaning toward either Shiff being the whistle blower or at least feeding intel to the whistle blower. Can the senate subpoena his azz?

Any punishment of a criminal who is destroying the foundations of this glorious republic, is not severe enough.

The lie is the weapon used most often by the criminal.

There is NO “WHISTLEBLOWER”

A person LEAKED the content of POTUS’ legal phone conversation. That is NOT “whistleblowing.”

By repeating “whistleblower,” you are using their language and enabling them.

Testicles? Remember who we’re talking about here.
