Morning Joe: Schiff 'in Some Trouble' for Not Telling Us Truth About Whistleblower
By Mark Finkelstein | October 3, 2019 10:32 AM EDT
Let's give Morning Joe some modified credit. On today's show, Democrat House Intelligence Chair Adam Schiff was criticized for not telling the truth when Sam Stein asked him on the show's September 17th episode whether his committee had spoken with the whistleblower. Schiff denied it to Stein. In fact, the whistleblower had contacted the committee, and they spoke.
Offered Stein today:
"I will say, this puts him in some trouble. He clearly wasn't being forthright in that interview with us a couple weeks ago. And he should have been."
So, credit for that. But Stein went on to downplay the significance of Schiff's untruth, saying that the substance of the whistleblower complaint is more important than the process by which it was made public. Stein also reported Schiff's excuse:

Meh. Show me Schiff's head on a platter. Metaphorically, of course ... wouldn't want to ruin a perfectly good platter with bloodstains.
