I love the way he gets the jump on them by saying what they're supposed to say.
And, look! Schiff got 4 Pinocchios.
The "Trump says" teaser goes to "Live updates: House committees ask Pence to turn over Ukraine information for impeachment probe."
And here's the Fact Checker column, "Schiff’s false claim his committee had not spoken to the whistleblower":
There’s nothing wrong with dodging a question, as long as you don’t try to mislead... But Schiff on “Morning Joe” clearly made a statement that was false. He now says he was answering the wrong question, but if that was the case, he should have quickly corrected the record. He compounded his falsehood by telling reporters a few days later that if not for the IG’s office, the committee would not have known about the complaint. That again suggested there had been no prior communication. The explanation that Schiff was not sure it was the same whistleblower especially strains credulity. Schiff earns Four Pinocchios.

Just another in a long line of dem and LLR Smear Merchants.
Which amendment to the Constitution prohibited prosecution of Democrats? I must have missed it.
Trolling them................here kitty, kitty.
It gets worse. Committee rules required him to inform the minority. He did not. This makes his lie more than a garden variety lie, but part of a conspiracy to hide information from the committee.
some senators haven't learned any lessons,

The media lace so much opinion and innuendo and false information into every soundbite.
It's gross.
The big lie about Truymp's conversation with the Ukrainian president is the lie that laced the most. Of course they need to set the narrative to keep hope alive. The far left base operate off of pure rage and desperation. Any lie will do.
Trump says the votes are there. Democrats will agree. The press will cheer.
Until they realize it’s a confession of prejudice and prejudgment. No hearings, no evidence, no debate. But the votes are decided.
Dumb to dissemble. Like Pompeo on the call.
This whole Schiff and the Whistle Blower dust up? It's a slight of hand. The contact with committee staff, is a data point in a longer timeline. I think the staffer, attempting to justify the reason the WB contacted him, exposed the whole scam.
The staffer explained the WB (CIA Officer) came to him asking guidance, because, He was upset about the slow response...from the CIA Inspector General to his complaint.
That means he filed a WB complaint, the CIA IG refused to give it the Urgent and Credible status that would require Congressional Notification.
This proves Schiff's involvement in stage managing this whole production.
The WB complaint should never have started in the Intelligence Community, because it had nothing to do with the IC. The WB could have, should have, taken it to DoJ, or the FBI. Why not? Schiff needed the complaint to end up in Congress. Only WB complaints that originate in the IC and reach the level of Urgent and Credible, get forwarded to Congress, by law.
After the CIA IG did the right thing and correctly categorized it, Schiff had to try again, submit the complaint the the IC IG. Then, to prime the pump, Schiff leaks the fact that a WB complaint about a President Trump conversation was being with held from Congress, in violation of the law. The tweet contained enough facts from the call, it is now plain, Schiff had the call details before the complaint was official filed with the
IC IG.
This is a calculated fraud on the American people.
Adam Schiff is a liar. Plain and simple.
Gosh, the short glorious war is getting complicated :)
Adam Schiff is a liar. He has exactly zero credibility.
Go Braves.
This is a perfectly balanced post. There is nothing to grab ahold of to comment.
Thus, I do this.
I have never before seen someone who eats and thrives on adversity. He is like some sort of mythical creature
The hype from those text messages is already being debunked, too.
Believe what Trump says!?
You have got to be @@kidding@@
"Trump says?!!"
In other news, Jane says she is done with Sergio.

The Dems just want to impeach in the media
It seems that the Mandate of Heaven has been bestowed on Trump once again, not that one can really say he's earned it. It's more that Nancy, Schiff & Co. have forfeited any claim to it, forcing it in his direction. Even the WaPo seems ever so reluctantly to have noticed.
That's a long way from being a "suggestion."
And there is something wrong about this whole story. Government bureaucrats have a lower opinion about "those damned politicians" than even us, the unwashed, and I do not believe that an "experienced CIA officer" would have asked a House committee for help with anything, and certainly not for filling out a form to submit to his own IG. Where did he get the form? It must have been either his own agency or the ICIG's office, and either his old buddies or the IG staff would have been happy to help him, though with what? An "experienced CIA officer" and he could not fill out a government form on his own?
Nancy Pelosi booed today as she arrived in South Carolina.
Buckets of shit would have been nice. It would have made her feel at home.
The left isn’t merely interpreting the same facts differently, as Dilbert says, it is reading an entirely different set of facts. It knows little of what the right is reading and talking about, while the right has little idea of what the left is reading and talking about.
If justice is done, this will end badly for the Dems, but who knows?
Snuffleupagus breaks ranks by asking a moderately challenging question now WaPoo isn’t sticking to the narrative? Something’s amiss...
"House committees ask Pence to turn over Ukraine information for impeachment probe."
Who in their right mind would hand over a paper clip to them until they passed an impeachment vote?
Well one cant help get the left perspective, its like andromeda.
So, I've been trying to ignore this, but it's getting harder.
According to Andrew McCarthy a Ukrainian court (in 2017?) found that Ukrainian officials aligned with the Democrats meddled in the 2016 US election. Sheesh.
Tim Maguire,
I absolutely know what the left is talking about. Reasons: 1. I have one liberal friend left on Facebook who posts liberal memes. All the previous open minded liberal friends defriended me long ago. 2. I can read it in blog comments, both from the trolls here and on other blogs. 3. I go to threadreaderapp.com on a regular basis and I read their threads.
But while I know what they're talking about, I've no idea where they get their facts. I was reading again today how proved Trump obstructed justice, and how the writer got that by reading the Mueller report himself. And how Trump really did ask Ukraine to investigate Biden or else - it's right in the transcript.
And in another thread Trump is humiliating himself with foreign leaders.
And how the Volker testimony was devastating for the Whitehouse.
And they're certain the American people are ready to throw Trump out of the oval office and into jail because they never read anything outside their bubble.
Hey Schiff's answers are a "parody"--a pale imitation of an honest answer. Doncha know?
Yes they are pretending volker didnt testify th e whistleblower is genuine et al.
Isn’t Schiff a Harvard Law grad? Keep digging Dems!
A cold hard look:

"Snuffleupagus breaks ranks by asking a moderately challenging question now WaPoo isn’t sticking to the narrative? Something’s amiss..."
Clinton is maneuvering. To get in the race, she wants/needs Biden out so that she can become the "moderate Democrat" to save the party from nominating a left-wing loon. Biden can't be cut loose by the media until impeachment is a dead issue. As impeachment talk fades over the next week (I don't think Pelosi will hold a vote, now), you will start seeing stories places with the NYTimes and WaPo delving into the Biden matter with a bit more curiosity than we have seen to date.
But Schiff on “Morning Joe” clearly made a statement that was false.
I'm shocked WaPo decided to print that. Baby steps, I guess.
I've noticed that both Democrats and #nevertrumper conservatives believe that Trump's words asking the Chinese to investigate Biden's corruption were aimed at the Chinese.
They weren't, Trump was TROLLING DEMOCRATS AND #NEVERTRUMPERS.
How stupid do have to be to believe that if Trump wanted the Chinese to investigate Biden he would have to beg the Chinese to investigate Biden by talking to the press?
My God, hating Trump lowers your IQ by at least fifty percent. What the Hell is wrong with these people?
Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don’t but should.
Signed The Resistance since 2015
It is sickening.
Pelosi is so serenely confident that she is afraid to hold a vote. Afraid to allow a defense. Under these terms you could impeach a ham sandwich, as the saying goes. It doesn’t mean anything.
Gospace, I have spent almost my entire adult life in deep blue spaces where I have no conservative friends and the only conservative ideas I am exposed to are on the internet. If you think you know what liberals are reading and talking about based in some memes on Facebook and the trolls who post on conservative threads, you are mistaken.
Gospace, that said, thank’s for the link. I hadn’t heard of thread reader and there’s lots of interesting stuff there. I’m currently reading a thread by some Catholic organization that Bergoglio should no longer be recognized as Catholic for allowing pagan rituals in the Vatican.

Volker tells his own side of the story, which is quite a bit different than the “cherry picked” texts, as he calls them.

Here is Volker’s testimony:
https://www.scribd.com/document/428765582/Full-Statement-from-U-S-Ukraine-Envoy-Ambassador-Kurt-Volker-on-October-3-2019
The national nightmare peaked too early. Trump has leisure to make a mockery of it.
It’s truly amazing how the MSM has no interest in looking at what the Bidens were doing in both China and Ukraine. To me, it further demonstrates what an utter disaster Obama was as a leader since he had to know his SOS was using an illicit email server for work purposes and his VP was setting up his son to cash in on deals in two countries where Joe was heading up US policy.
Let’s turn it around and ask how it might be covered if it was the Trump family engaging in this sort of activity. What a joke!
“The WB complaint should never have started in the Intelligence Community, because it had nothing to do with the IC. The WB could have, should have, taken it to DoJ, or the FBI. Why not? Schiff needed the complaint to end up in Congress. Only WB complaints that originate in the IC and reach the level of Urgent and Credible, get forwarded to Congress, by law.”
Not sure about that either. Except that it involved alleged law breaking. He wouldn’t have tried there though because DOJ OIG would have seen right through it. DoJ IG Horowitz is in the middle of the SpyGate cleanup, and more likely would have referred the “whistleblower” over to the DOJ for prosecution for an Espionage Act violation, as well as the CIA agents illegally leaking to him. Besides, the DOJ is maybe the last place in the government that would declare hearsay that the “whistleblower” had No Need To Know as urgent, allowing it to be relayed to Congress.
The whole thing stinks from the get go. The IC IG had no jurisdiction - 1) it involved foreign relations, and not intelligence; 2) the IC IG has no jurisdiction over the President in the WH; 3) knowledge by the “whistleblower” of the contents of the phone call disclosed evidence of crimes on the part of the leakers and probably the “whistleblower”; and 4) HSCI has no jurisdiction because it does not involve intelligence, nor does it involve Congressional oversight.
So, that is what the Dems are apparently basing their impeachment inquiry on - illegally obtained and disclosed misquoted transcripts of a classified phone call with a foreign leader that had been automatically protected by Executive Privilege, the illegal disclosure of which adversely affected our foreign relations. The only illegalities disclosed in the whole matter were by the leakers, the “whistleblower”, Schiff, his staff, and possibly the IC IG, who ignored ODNI Counsel and DOJ OLC determinations that he had no jurisdiction. Bizzaro World.
As impeachment talk fades over the next week (I don't think Pelosi will hold a vote, now), you will start seeing stories places with the NYTimes and WaPo delving into the Biden matter with a bit more curiosity than we have seen to date.
Good points. Pelosi knows it flopped. Lewandowski owned Nadler, first. Then Schiff did his fiction thing,. Going nowhere,.
All you have is conspiracy theories and the toddlers lament: "life's not fair"
Joe Biden bragging - in public and on tape - about his corruption is now a 'conspiracy theory.'
Got it.
