A bombshell new report is derailing the Democrats' momentum against President Trump on Day One of the Senate impeachment trial.
The article -- in the left-leaning Politico of all places -- on Tuesday night alleges that House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff appears to have mischaracterized evidence that was used in House Democrats impeachment investigation.
But Republicans are calling the report "soft-pedaling", insisting that Schiff "fabricated evidence" in a naked attempt to "frame" Trump.
Either way, the shocking late-night report has thrown the Democrats' Senate plan into complete chaos.
The stunning report focuses on a letter that Schiff sent to House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-NY) last week that summarizes a trove of evidence from Lev Parnas, an indicted former associate of Trumps personal attorney Rudy Giuliani, Politico reported. In one section of the letter, Schiff claims that Parnas continued to try to arrange a meeting with President Zelensky, citing a specific text message exchange where Parnas tells Giuliani: trying to get us mr Z. The remainder of the exchange which was attached to Schiffs letter was redacted.

“If he was intelligent, hed enter the witness protection program voluntarily.”
I imagine he is running scared. Not that I am sympathetic.
Use rubber gloves for that shake
This is like dropping the bombshell that John Gotti was into racketeering.
He’s under oath, correct? If so, isn’t that perjury? Why aren;t republicans calling him to the carpet for it? Like ap undit said tonight- anyone else in a court of law- had they done these things- would have been removed and i will add- accused of bribery-
dang, meant perjury- that’s what i get foer being a dunderhead and typing so fast lol
Schifty Schift is the Lord of the Flies.
And Fat Sessions continues to fiddle his bagpipes.
Something is wrong with Schitf. His eyes look like he just took a huge hit on a bong!
Your post reads like it’s coded.
I like it.
It’s kinda hard to see the GOP as “adults” after all this.
They always bring ping-pong paddles when they need baseball bats.
Quite literally, every person and Democrat involved with falsely framing an innocent POTUS, and every illegally obtained and false submission, has been illegal/unlawful, and is a true “High crime(s)”.
Yet, in a very fundamental sense, the Republican Senate has by default, substantiated the entire unlawful and “high crimes” process used to frame an innocent President, by deeming the unlawful and fraudulent effort, worthy of a full “legitimate” impeacent hearing Senate process!
He actually could have, and one of his old suppliers was probably Buck.
For decades, Congressman have been known for this.
“Can some lightweight at Justice charge this guy with obstruction of Justice?”
This is not a criminal proceeding and scumbag Schiff can say or do anything he pleases until/unless he directly harms a private citizen.
Or Nancy reins him in with censure.
Parnass obviously went to the same acting school Christine Blasey Ford did.
This is why we have treason laws.
