RUSH: The Wall Street Journal had to make up a story that Trump was sending 14,000 troops to Mideast. It’s a totally made-up story. Oh, speaking of the Wall Street Journal, a brief diversion. It’s not… This will work. I thought I had it here set aside.
The Wall Street Journal has reported that Adam Schiff’s phone records… Have you heard about this? Schiff in his report revealed that Rudy Giuliani had called people in Ukraine or some such place to further the investigation of whatever. The Wall Street Journal said: No, no, no, no. This number that Rudy called is not Ukraine. Schiff is totally wrong about this. “Key Piece of Democrats’ Evidence in Impeachment Appears to Fall Apart,” according to the Wall Street Journal.
Here’s what it is: “Schiff’s committee claimed that Giuliani had a 12-minute phone call on August 8 with a number that Democrats claimed was OMB,” Office of Management and Budget. OMB has control over the aid money to Ukraine. So Adam Schiff’s report claims that Giuliani called the OMB for 12 minutes to arrange for them to withhold or send — depending on what was desired — money to Ukraine, and Schiff’s making a big deal out of it.
“This shows that Trump is guilty! It shows that Giuliani is guilty!”
But the Wall Street Journal has found the number that Adam Schiff claims belongs to the OMB is not the OMB. The Wall Street “Journal noted that OMB officials stated that Giuliani did not speak with on one their staff and … White House call logs do not match up with phone records of acting chief of staff and budget office director Mick Mulvaney.” So, in other words, Adam Schiff is lying through his teeth again.
He releases phone records and claims that Giuliani… They only have metadata. They don’t have the actual transcripts of the call. But Schiff is saying, “See? Here Rudy called OMB. He’s doubtless arranging for money to be withheld or sent to Ukraine. Rudy’s guilty! Trump’s guilty!” The Wall Street Journal called the number. CNN didn’t call the number. MSNBC didn’t call the number. The New York Times didn’t call the number. Wall Street Journal called the number. It’s not to the OMB.
OMB said, “Well, we never talked to Rudy. Rudy’s never called.” This is a big piece of the impeachment report that Schiff put out, and it itself is filled with lies. Here’s the other story I was gonna mention. This is the Washington Post: “Wall-to-Wall Impeachment Coverage Is Not Changing Any Minds.” It’s by Margaret Sullivan, media columnist, Washington Post. Before that she was a public editor of the New York Times.
She has a piece admitting that the public still does not support impeaching Trump despite the best efforts of the media and the Democrats. They are floundering with this.
YAWN!!! Not news.
Somebody call me if Schiffty ever tells the truth. Now that would be newsworthy. LOL
#3. Re “Another lie? How can that be”? Perhaps a lifetime of practice as a Democrat psychopath would explain things.
bttt
Thanks
Thanks
In slightly convoluted fashion, Pelousi recognizes that the Committee on the Judiciary doesn't have members or staff that are up to the tasks of questioning "experts" (what? no witnesses?) or navigating past the Fourth Amendment violations of wrested-and-grandiosely-lied-about phone records.
You probably recognized how completely scripted the back-and-forth between Dems, their counsel, their members and their experts was, right?
Unless it's Shillelagh Jackson Lee attempting to appear brighter than your average fence post, most have figured out that Democratic Congress member active participation has been ever increasingly curtailed. (Meanwhile, Republican member participation has been landing blow after blow.)
While Dem members can plausibly read a script set before them, they surely can't handle the thought processes of a substantive back-and-forth with (even Leftist blowhard) college professors given to lengthy pontification to fake a sense of natural flow.
So while the Dems have hired staff to do their bidding (on our tax dollar), they can't count on their membership to bring any dynamic, audience-felt sense of narrowing the closure toward a rising crescendo of PDJT's evidence-based deservedness, let alone the revelation of any smoking gun.
Enter Pelousi to demand Articles while most observers are still with, "Now, what would be the charge exactly?".
Turley is right. These proceedings don't rise to any reasonable standard of making a case for presidential impeachment. Instead of Pelousi using her usurped power over the committee, she should just let it die of its own ill-timed petard duddliness. It's a far better excuse that it just didn't roar out of the Judiciary Committee than to see all the Democratic corruption be exposed in a Senate Trial.
The Dems really need a good distraction to counter Durham's coming indictments. What is Pelousi left with? Bupkis!
You had me until the last line. Durham might get something. But I am discounting anything he does. Until we see it, let’s just assume it’s not going to happen.
Many things have been conjectured about what's behind her erratic behavior. I believe she knows that there's a mountain of coup-related evidence against her and the she needs plausible deflection for her possible forth-coming indictment related to those. She probably prefers to characterize possible indictment as retribution for her having achieved the impeachment of PDJT.
Wray is a dirty cop. You haven’t figured that out yet?
your allegation is just ridiculous. To make such a claim you must consider President Trump to be stupid.
Really? Stay tuned.
I’m sorry. I should have responded “Trust Sessions.” Correct?
Your original post indicated you are smarter than the President.
I’m sorry but you are not. You don’t measure up
Thanks, but that wasn’t my question. If it is proven to be Wray, that’s one thing. If any congressman can ‘order up’ an NSL that’s another issue....both very troublesome. Did Wray order the NSL that wad issued to AT&T? Sauce?
We know for a fact Trump ordered the release of the info on FISA abuse over a year ago. Wray has yet to comply. This alone should be enough but...SHAMWOW! Wait, there’s more. The FBI is dirty top down and has been for at least 4 years.
Handing out phone numbers of the President of the United States attorney and a US Congressman serving as ranking minority of the intelligence committee? They did not see the name on the phone bill of the phone number?
