Adam Schiff Makes Up Fake Trump-Ukraine Transcript to Make It Sound More Damning

We have the transcript.

So why did Schiff make up his own version of the call in a Congressional hearing?

Because he knows the transcript shows no quid pro quo or crimes.

Dems are literally making stuff up now because they have no legitimate reason to impeach @realDonaldTrump. pic.twitter.com/i4138ocqJ3

And what is the President’s response — well it reads like a classic organized crime shake down. In essence, what the President Trump communicates is this: 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. You know what I mean? 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. I want you to make up dirt on my political opponent, understand? Lots of dirt, on this and on that. I’m going to put you in touch with people, and 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 American law enforcement behind him. 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, so I’m only going to say this a few more times, in a few more ways. And don’t call me again. I’ll call you when you’ve done what I asked.

...sound horrible, and me sound guilty. HE WAS DESPERATE AND HE GOT CAUGHT. Adam Schiff therefore lied to Congress and attempted to defraud the American Public. He has been doing this for two years. I am calling for him to immediately resign from Congress based on this fraud!

The subsequent three years of breathless Russia coverage was based entirely on the word of one cybersecurity firm, CrowdStrike, that the DNC’s emails had been hacked by Russia.

Recall that the DNC wouldn’t allow the FBI or any other U.S. government official anywhere near its computers. That’s precisely why so many cybersecurity experts doubted that it was the Russians: The FBI was never allowed to perform its own investigation.

CrowdStrike was founded by Ukrainian Dmitri Alperovitch (now an American citizen apparently — because who isn’t?) and funded by the fanatically anti-Russian Ukrainian oligarch Viktor Pinchuk Foundation.

Talk about interfering with our democracy! Alperovitch and Pinchuk sent one political party and nine-tenths of the American media off on a wild goose chase into Russian collusion that, after years of accusations, investigations and embarrassing conspiracy-mongering ... turned up goose eggs.

The whistle-blower is said to be a CIA officer who was detailed to work at the White House at one point. ⁦@adamgoldmanNYT ⁦@nytmike ⁦@julianbarnes⁩ https://t.co/g7U3QOSnJC https://t.co/g7U3QOSnJC

Huh … I’d assumed the whistleblower was a Karen Silkwood type, an simple low-level employee. Now he turns out instead to be CIA.

I worry that this could lead to Conspiracy Theories.

Fortunately, the NYT Editor assures us that CIA is "nonpolitical."https://t.co/8FrATdz6WK pic.twitter.com/qHWekyuXmX
