Last week, President Trump slammed “Shifty” Adam Schiff (D-CA) who, during a House Intelligence hearing with acting DNI director Joseph Maguire, read a completely made-up version of the unredacted transcript of a July 25 phone call between President Trump and Ukraine President Zelensky.
Wow.
My jaw is on the floor.
“Intelligence” Committee Adam Schiff just fabricated, out of thin-air, the contents of the Trump phone call with Ukraine’s President.
Not a word he says here is true. Not. A. Word.

Schiff called his unhinged reading of the transcripts, a “parody.”
President Trump responded to Schiff’s mischaracterization of his conversation with President Zelensky in a series of tweets:
These Radical Left, Do Nothing Democrats, are doing great harm to our Country. They are lying & cheating like never before in our Country’s history in order to destabilize the United States of America & it’s upcoming 2020 Election. They & the Fake News Media are Dangerous & Bad!
Like every American, I deserve to meet my accuser, especially when this accuser, the so-called “Whistleblower,” represented a perfect conversation with a foreign leader in a totally inaccurate and fraudulent way. Then Schiff made up what I actually said by lying to Congress……
His lies were made in perhaps the most blatant and sinister manner ever seen in the great Chamber. He wrote down and read terrible things, then said it was from the mouth of the President of the United States. I want Schiff questioned at the highest level for Fraud & Treason…..

Townhall political editor, Guy Benson tweeted about a new breaking development regarding House Intelligence Chair Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) and how his aide talked to the CIA officer prior to filing his whistleblower complaint.
This was suspected. Now apparently confirmed. This doesn’t change the substance of the transcript & what was said. That’s on Trump. It does feed the storyline that this is fundamentally politically motivated / partisan. And Schiff lacks credibility already… https://t.co/tEC75oIfB0

According to the New York Times – The Democratic head of the House Intelligence Committee, Representative Adam B. Schiff of California, learned about the outlines of a C.I.A. officer’s concerns that President Trump had abused his power days before the officer filed a whistle-blower complaint, according to a spokesman and current and former American officials.
The early account by the future whistle-blower shows how determined he was to make known his allegations that Mr. Trump asked Ukraine’s government to interfere on his behalf in the 2020 election. It also explains how Mr. Schiff knew to press for the complaint when the Trump administration initially blocked lawmakers from seeing it.
The C.I.A. officer approached a House Intelligence Committee aide with his concerns about Mr. Trump only after he had had a colleague first convey them to the C.I.A.’s top lawyer. Concerned about how that initial avenue for airing his allegations through the C.I.A. was unfolding, the officer then approached the House aide. In both cases, the original accusation was vague.
Earlier today, President Trump tweeted about Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), asking why he isn’t “being brought up on charges for fraudulently making up a statement and reading it to Congress as if this statement, which was very dishonest and bad for me, was directly made by the President of the United States?” A frustrated Trump added, ” This should never be allowed!”

Trump supporters shared their support for holding Adam Schiff accountable, reminding everyone of the time Adam Schiff was fooled by pranksters into believing they had dirt on Trump. Schiff responded by asking for their contact information to further explore their allegations.
