Adam Schiff Deliberately Misrepresents Impeachment Evidence AGAIN! Text Messages between Parnas and Giuliani "mischaracterized".

House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) appears to have misrepresented impeachment evidence that was used during the House Democrats’ impeachment investigation, according to a report from Tuesday evening.

According to documents obtained by Politico, text messages between Lev Parnas and Rudy Giuliani were "mischaracterized" by Schiff in a letter sent to House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler last week. "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 Schiff’s letter — was redacted."

The unredacted version of the letter, which Schiff obviously had access to, shows that Parnas was actually referring to Mykola Zlochevsky, the founder of Burisma, not President Zelensky. Notes from the meeting taken by Parnas show a series of questions and answers without identifying the participants.

However, the responses "include statements such as 'we wanted to build Burisma as [an] international company' and 'we also thought it would help in Ukraine to have strong international board figures,'" which even Politico concedes "point to Zlochevsky — not the Ukrainian president — as the respondent."

Politico notes that a Democratic official involved with the impeachment trial "didn’t dispute the suggestion that the initial interpretation was incorrect." Of course, the question is whether this was a legitimate error or a deliberate misinterpretation. Democrats, including Schiff, have been deliberately misrepresenting evidence since this impeachment effort started.

Adam Schiff whipped up an entirely false version of the Trump-Zelensky phone call on the House floor, defending his deception by claiming it was a parody, and Nancy Pelosi and other Democrats have misquoted a key portion of the transcript.

No it’s NOT a question..except to a naive fool.

I can’t even decide who I hate more anymore..schiff, nadler, schumer, bloomerg, pelosi, that backstabber R convert to D, that jerk that said that they would impeach Trump for future crimes...the list goes on and on.

PERJURY is NOT simply a ‘misrepresentation’- it’s a fabricated lie meant to deceive a court, to give FALSE testimony that could impact a trial of it’s not discovered to be false, and send innocent people to prison- which is why it’s ILLEGAL to do in a court of law under oath!

Where are the republicans calling for, at the very least, his removal from the senate trial?

This whole impeachment reminds me of one of Aesop’s fables about the wolf and the lamb.

ONCE upon a time a Wolf was lapping at a spring on a hillside when, looking up, what should he see but a Lamb just beginning to drink a little lower down. “There’s my supper,” thought he, “if only I can find some excuse to seize it.” Then he called out to the Lamb, “How dare you muddle the water from which I am drinking?”
“Nay, master, nay,” said the Lamb; “if the water is muddy up there, I cannot be the cause of it, for it runs down from you to me.”
“Well, then,” said the Wolf, “why did you call me bad names this time last year?”
“That cannot be,” said the Lamb; “I am only six months old.”
“I don’t care,” snarled the Wolf; “if it was not you it was your father;” and with that he rushed upon the poor little Lamb.

One of the morals is that your enemies will make up any excuse.

Totally TUNED out, after watching this CHARADE for 2 hours, take up my time...wasting my entire afternoon. Decided to watch LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE reruns, it would be more interesting.
