"And what is the President’s response — well it reads like a classic organized crime shake down. In essence, what the President Trump communicates is this: We’ve been very good to your country. Very good. No other country has done as much as we have. But you know what, I don’t see much reciprocity here. You know what I mean? I hear what you want. I have a favor I want from you though. And I’m going to say this only seven times, so you better listen good. I want you to make up dirt on my political opponent, understand? Lots of dirt, on this and on that. I’m going to put you in touch with people, and not just any people. I’m going to put you in touch with the Attorney General of the United States — my Attorney General, Bill Barr — he’s got the whole weight of American law enforcement behind him. And I’m going to put you in touch with Rudy, you’re going to love him. Trust me. You know what I’m asking, so I’m only going to say this a few more times, in a few more ways. And don’t call me again. I’ll call you when you’ve done what I asked."


Even Joe knows that ain't so!

It is complete and total BS, and Schiff should be removed. Everyone has the transcript.

Here is what Schiff says:

Very good. No other country has done as much as we have. But you know what, I don’t see much reciprocity here."

-He didn't say that in any way shape or form, and the non-bold portion isn't even accurate.

"You know what I mean? I hear what you want. I have a favor I want from you though. And I’m going to say this only seven times, so you better listen good. I want you to make up dirt on my political opponent, understand? Lots of dirt, on this and on that."

-Not. Even. Remotely. True.

-And how Schiff words "I hear what you want. I have a favor I want from you." Also complete trash and untrue. The Ukrainian President mentions they are going to buy some more weapons from us at some point.

"I’m going to put you in touch with people, and not just any people. I’m going to put you in touch with the Attorney General of the United States — my Attorney General, Bill Barr — he’s got the whole weight of American law enforcement behind him."

- Barr has never spoken to the Ukranian President.

"And I’m going to put you in touch with Rudy, you’re going to love him. Trust me. You know what I’m asking, so I’m only going to say this a few more times, in a few more ways. And don’t call me again. I’ll call you when you’ve done what I asked."

- Completely false.

Does any of this matter to you, Tom?

Nope.. He loves him some Adam Schiff.. Schiff does no wrong.. Now Nunes is trash in Tom's eyes.

Could Trump sue for slander here?

The bar is very high for a public figure, but I would argue this at least approaches that bar.

No. Congressional proceedings are immune.

Thought I had heard that, thanks.

The media, as usual, in on on the farce too. The biggest lie by the Lame Stream Media is the connecting of a Biden/Julliani investigation directly to the Ukranian request for weapons. The press shows the transcript in a way that makes it appear that the Ukranian president makes the request to buy more anti-tank Missiles--and Trump immediately launches in on a request for a "favor" of an investigation of Biden. In reality, a page and half of discussion lies between those two quotes. When you read the page and half the media leaves out---you see its a flowing conversation and that the president isnt the one who brings up Juliani---the Ukranian president does---and thats how the conversation swings toward Biden. What actually follows the Ukranian request for more missiles is the president asking for a "favor"----and the favor he immediately asks for is a Ukranian government investigation to determine the exact role the Ukranian government played in the attempted interference in the 2016 US election (which we have been told for the last 2.5 years, that the Democrats believe it is of the utmost importance that we have every single detail on).

I don't believe members of Congress can held legally accountable or charged for things said on the floor of congress or in the Capital while in session.

Same reason that total liar Reid could simply walk away from the bag of schit lies he told about Mittens and his taxes back in '12. They're shielded.

Uhhhhh, yea.

What he said.

Well we now know who gave Schiff a first-hand account of the Ukranian call. He was actually IN the room with Trump.

He's definitely earned the moniker SCHIFF for brains, he's a real SCHIFF-head for sure, he doesn't know SCHIFF from shinola.

no question about it...if I was Nunes and just for shites and gigs, I'd have to administer the 'famous Archie slap' in passing at some point....

like Pee-loosey, he's an embarrassment...
