International Trump-Ukraine Megathread Vol 2.

[PainIsLIfe]

Rep. Adam Schiff acknowledged on Thursday that he made up parts of the Ukraine phone call transcript when he delivered his opening statement at a much-watched TV hearing with the U.S. top intelligence officer.

In his opening statement, Mr. Schiff said Mr. Trump asked Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky for fabricated dirt on former Vice President Joe Biden and said Mr. Trump threatened to make the same request Mr. Zelensky eight times–––both quotes not in the transcript.


When it came his time to question Joseph Maguire, the acting Director of National Intelligence, Mr. Turner noted inaccuracies uttered to a large TV audience as Democrats rev up talk of impeachment.

"It's not the conversation that was in the chairman’s opening statement,” Mr. Turner said. “And while the chairman was speaking I actually had someone text me, ‘is he just making this up?’ And yes, yes, he was because sometimes fiction is better than the actual words or the text. But luckily, the American public are smart, and they have the transcript. They’ve read the conversation. They know when someone is just making it up.”

How can democats complain about Trump's dishonesty when their own party leaders act this way?

I don't understand why he would do this.

Dems are the "good guys" so they can do what they want.

 

[Extrajumboshrimps]

What a dirty little Schiff.

 

[Shoemaker]

I don't understand why he would do this.

That was a monumentally stupid thing of him to do.

i dont care what side you are on, that was embarrassing. Dont get me wrong, trump is embarrassing quite frequently. But I would like to think that high level leaders with actual political backgrounds would be above that kind jerry springer stuff.

 

[K-Bag]

I see no issue here. Move along!

Have you not been paying attention the last 4 years?

Because most people just watch the opening statements and first couple of questioners then flip the channel. A lot of people heard Schiffs statement, but not the later correction.

I think because one transgression doesn't justify another.

 

[PainIsLIfe]

That cant be real, can it?

Even if that's what he was doing it seems incredibly stupid to so obviously destroy your own credibility to trick some people.

i know thats a rhetorical question but im a new comer to politics. never followed it a lick and finally registered to vote for the first time in 2016, not because of trump or hilary but because ive never been called for jury duty and wanted to see what jury duty was about. Sadly ive been spiraling down into this bullshit ever since and I kinda wish I could go back to when i didnt care

 

[Amerikuracana]

The whole thing is an embarrassment, and I'll be damned if 90% of the leftist posters on here We rent sent directly to ruin the Democratic party.

Of course he made a bunch of stuff up lol. Come on..

 

[Extrajumboshrimps]

Anyone else notice how Adam Schiff always looks like he just did a 7 inch line of coke? Disgusting crazy eyeballs protruding through my T.V. screen while before congress, Very disrespectful!

 

[TheOldMan]

Adam Schiff???? The beacon of all that is moral and right? Wow I just can't believe this!
I really hope at some point he gets drug out of DC by his pencil neck never to be heard from again. He is a perfect example of libtard lunacy and corruption.

 

[MTT]

No, that is not factual.

The base is retarded women and wannabe women men who have lieing to get power in their dna, who feel that pretending to be a victim makes you above the same rules as others.

 

[MMAisGod]

If a Republican did this we'd be getting multi-paragraph well written posts about the immorality of such a thing. Wrong is wrong, but yea.
