Rep. Schiff Fabricates What Trump Said In Ukraine Telephone Call Transcript

California Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff read a portion of a transcript of a telephone conversation between President Donald Trump and his Ukrainian counterpart Thursday before the House Intelligence Committee — but the congressman largely fabricated the president’s words.

Schiff claimed he was reading “the essence” of the president’s words to the committee’s witness, Acting Director of National Intelligence, Joseph Maguire.

“This is the essence of what the president communicates. We’ve been very good to your country, very good, no other country has done as much as we have, but you know what, I don’t see much reciprocity here. I hear what you want. I have a favor I want from you, though. And I’m going to say this only seven times, so you better listen good.”

The congressman on Wednesday compared Trump’s words to Volodymyr Zelensky as akin to a “Mafia-like shakedown” and he apparently read that perception into his interpretation of the transcript of that conversation.

Schiff continued, making it up as he went along: “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, not just any people, I’m going to put you in touch with the attorney general of the United States, my attorney general Bill Barr. He’s got the whole weight of the American law enforcement behind him.”

The House Intelligence Committee chairman even suggested that Trump told Zelensky, “‘And I’m going to put you in touch with Rudy — you’re going to love him, trust me. You know what I’m asking, and so I’m only going to say this a few more times in a few more ways. And by the way, don’t call me again, I’ll call you when you’ve done what you’ve asked.’ This is the sum and character what the president was trying to communicate with the president of Ukraine. It would be funny if it wasn’t such a graphic betrayal of the president’s Oath of Office.”

Schiff has said he believes impeachment of the president can be used as a “tool” to expose Trump’s alleged misconduct.

And 1/2 the country will read and believe Schiff’s fantasy and not the original text.

Mission Accomplished.

As long as the media allows them to get away with it, the Lib/Progs will continue to obfuscate with impunity.

This “whistle blower” concept is the fabrication of a DNC operative. This whole thing seems a fabrication as something McCabe or Comey would attempt. There is no whistle blower as it was leaked and/or accepted by someone from the DNC and sent to the media and got the ball rolling.

We have come to a place where truth no longer matters. The media now exists solely to make the public believe a desired narrative. Pray that at least 51 per cent of the public don’t swallow the snake oil.

The essence eh? So he knows what the President really meant? I’ll bet he’d be one of those guys who would claim “Well, the essence was I knew she wanted it. Sure she was saying no, crying, pleading, fighting me. But I knew what she really wanted to say.”

This Will Totally Destroy Trump! (Volume MCXXXVII)

“Well, ________________ is going to totally be the thing that lets us crucify Trump! Yeah, Russia flopped and his alleged Nazi-ness failed and that weasel ex-lawyer/convict of his struck out, but we promise – this time, ___________ is going to bring him down!”

So saith CNN, the Times, the gang at LonelyNeckbeardedLeftistLoser.com and the rest of the cabinboy media, along with the carb-curious Fredocon dorks and the surviving furries, pseudo-Cherokees and other assorted Democrat weirdos currently wandering about in Iowa pestering farmers to join them for selfies. There’s always a new _____________, except the “bring him down” part just never seems to happen.

No coffee for the liberal establishment, because coffee is for closers (NSFW language, sissies). These geebos have been trying to close the deal since 2015, but all they have to do it with are the Rio Rancho leads – they never get the Glengarry leads that will put a stake through the heart of the Bad Orange Man.

I agree that your continued use of the phrase, “you’d agree that ... “ is a veiled attempt to get yourself investigated for attempting to illegally get dirt on a legally elected, sitting President of The United States .... I might add, he’s your President “

AG Barr could put an end to all this by arresting Hunter Biden this afternoon. Then Trump’s call becomes a function of his role as Law Enforcement and Schiff can pound sand. Your move, Barr.

Schiff is a whiney little prick. He wouldn’t last long in a room with real men.

No this goes to far. A majority of voters will see it for what it is. Those that believe it are to far gone to the fantasy of the left the rest don’t care and will not vote.

Boy, I would love to hear this author’s story version of the open mic conversation between Obama and Putin’s deputy about how Obama would have more flexibility after the Election in the US.
