Schiff’s reaction to Trump’s lawyers turns heads
By Blima Miller
Saturday’s performance by Trump’s defense lawyers served to enlighten the public and, of course, exasperate Adam Schiff. He tweeted thus:
After listening to the President’s lawyers opening arguments, I have three observations:
They don’t contest the facts of Trump’s scheme.
They’re trying to deflect, distract from, and distort the truth.
And they are continuing to cover it up by blocking documents and witnesses.
The “facts†of Trump’s “scheme†were not only contested, but utterly deflated in the White House lawyers’ two-hour presentation. Deflecting the truth is, as articulated by the Trump defense team, a favorite pastime of Schiff and Co., in addition to their hobby of cherry picking. Michael Purpura pointed to the House managers’ attempt to smuggle the phone call’s dialogue about Javelin missile sales into their tall tale of Trump dangling the aid carrot before Zelensky’s pressured, concerned countenance. Turns out those weapons were in no way connected to the suspended security assistance. Contesting this particular fact, manufactured so slyly by the Democrats, was easily done by their very own witnesses, former ambassador Maria Yovanovitch and National Security Council Senior Director, Timothy Morrison.
