NBC Analyst Pulls a Schiff, Invents Fictional Trump Quotes
By Kyle Drennen | October 7, 2019 11:46 AM EDT
Taking a page from the playbook of Democratic House Intelligence Committee chairman Adam Schiff, on Monday’s Today show, NBC News national security analyst and former Obama administration official Jeremy Bash fabricated quotes from President Trump in an attempt to bolster the case for impeachment.
After co-host Savannah Guthrie asked about reports of a second whistleblower against the President, Bash argued: “...it’s really part of a mounting body of evidence....that Trump wasn’t just being Trump on that phone call with President Zelensky on Ukraine...†He fantasized: “...this was part of a carefully orchestrated effort by a number of key administration officials to present an ultimatum to the Ukrainians: ‘You’ve got to get involved in the 2020 election, help Trump win reelection, and if not, then you’re not gonna get the benefit of American support, including military support.’â€
