Trump demands Schiff resign
By Morgan Chalfant - 09/27/19 08:23 AM EDT

President Trump on Friday demanded House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) “immediately” resign from Congress for reading what the congressman described as a parody of the president’s phone call with Ukraine’s leader that is at the center of a whistleblower complaint.


In a series of tweets early Friday, Trump accused Schiff of lying to Congress and “fraudulently” reciting a version of the call that made it “sound horrible” and made the president appear “guilty.”

“He was supposedly reading the exact transcribed version of the call, but he completely changed the words to make it .., sound horrible, an me sound guilty,” Trump tweeted.

“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!”

    Rep. Adam Schiff fraudulently read to Congress, with millions of people watching, a version of my conversation with the President of Ukraine that doesn’t exist. He was supposedly reading the exact transcribed version of the call, but he completely changed the words to make it....

"Troll, troll, troll your bait ..."

And the Dems and their MSM shills will chomp down on the bait and howl! :silly:

This current atmosphere is not anything I wished for, but the Dems and MSM have been building up to this for over 40 years. Trump is merely their perfect foil - or Kryptonite - over those decades observing what they were doing and noting all their ego-vulnerabilities.

Speaking of Ukrainian influence, does the name 'Igor Pasternak' ring a bell?

Rep. Adam Schiff totally made up my conversation with Ukraine President and read it to Congress and Millions. He must resign and be investigated. He has been doing this for two years. He is a sick man!

No.

Remind me.

Remind us all. Maybe in a stand-alone thread so it will draw more attention.

Lying to Congress isa  crime even if you are not under oath, and you can go to Jail for it.

The US Constitution precludes such prosecutions or civil actions against things Congress-Critters say when speaking in Congress.
