A New York Times reporter fact-checked House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) on Twitter after McCarthy claimed an article reported that House Intelligence Committee Chair Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) orchestrated with the whistleblower at the center of a scandal involving President Trump.
Chairman Adam Schiff just got caught orchestrating with the whistleblower before the complaint was ever filed. Democrats have rigged this process from the start, McCarthy tweeted Wednesday, linking to an article co-authored by reporter Matthew Rosenberg.
Nope. Not what the NYT reported. The whistleblower went to an intel committee staffer with a vague account of the complaint, and was told to file through proper channels, Rosenberg tweeted in response.
Schiff personally never knew the whistleblowers identity. Thats hardly orchestrating the complaint, he added.
Trump and his allies have seized on the Times article, which also says the aide in question told the whistleblower to hire a lawyer and file a complaint through formal channels. Thats what theyre supposed to do, Schiff said in a tweet.

I am not going to the NYT and read what the reporter wrote but from what I read here it doesnt sound like rigorous fact checking.
Talking to staffers is not much in the way of fact checking.
Did he get to review meeting notes or desk calendars?
Did he get to review phone logs?
Taking staffers at their word as to what really happen doesnt add up to fact checking in my book.

Hearsay accuser at best. Had no first hand knowledge. Just spewing crap probably talked about over a drink in a bar. None of it would be allowed as evidence in a court of law, so why is it being allowed in the halls of the Federal Government Because of Dems such as AOC (ex bartender) and lowlifes (list too long to place here) a bar is now a place of higher honor and respect than Congress. At least in bars they have bouncers to toss out babbling types to the sidewalk or street. Not so as "sgt.at arms" guys seem half asleep (as during Kavanaugh hearings when screeching, howling women scratched at the wooden doors in a mob.)

Schiffty spent 10 hours with Michael Cohen before his testimony, Schiffty took a phone call from pranksters claiming to be Russians with dirt of DJT and Im supposed to believe he didnt meet with the so-called whistleblower and prep him on what to do and how to get around not having first hand knowledge? Yeah.....okay.
