Call for Adam Schiff to be censured

[Always in His Presence]

A House conservative has introduced a measure to censure House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) in an attempt to condemn the Democratic chairman for using "parody" when recounting details of President Trump's call with the leader of Ukraine.

House Freedom Caucus Chairman-elect Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.) introduced the privileged resolution Friday shortly after Trump took to Twitter to demand Schiff’s resignation over his remarks, which focused on the president's July 25 phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

Schiff had pointed to a reconstituted transcript of the conversation released by the White House, but paraphrased some points and offered an exaggerated version of the discussion, including saying that Trump directed Zelensky to “make up dirt on my political opponent” a full “seven times.”

Well do they want him censured or do they want him to resign?

Can’t the Republicans get their story straight?

Why not both. They are not mutually exclusive.

We're dealing with Trumps innuendo concerning Biden. If the prosecutor that was fired was indeed failing to investigate Burisma holdings as many accounts show, then Trump in affect is asking Zelensky to make up dirt on a political opponent. Since there is no evidence to support the innuendo nor would there be, it remains dirt in the form of an un substantiated innuendo. Same thing with Obama not being born in America.

Schiff knows the networks will run with his characterization of the transcript. It will have its effect on the public. He will take a little political heat, and then he's free to do it again. It's how consent is manufactured by the Democrats and their media arm.

Are you saying that Joe Biden demanded that a Ukrainian prosecutor be fired or Ukraine would lose aid from the US because Biden wanted his son's company investigated and the prosecutor would not?

Brought to you by the party claiming Obama was not a US citizen and that his health plan contained death panels. I'm betting those crocodile tears are delicious.

And Trump with his prior birther attacks against Obama as well.

No. Biden didn't ask that Bursima specifically should be targeted, but corruption in general. However, Bursima was one of the companies which was not investigated properly by this prosecutor.

Have you not listened to Congress ever before?

Indirectly yes. And many accounts of events will support that, since the cause in an investigation where the money that former Ecology Minister Mykola Zlochevsky (owner of Burisma) allegedly got away with, was blamed on Viktor Shokin's lack of performance. But, again others claim it was due to the incompetence of the U.K...

We'll probably never know how much Biden may have influenced how the investigation proceeded under the New prosecutor, but the evidence shows that there was wide spread consternation about Viktor Shokin in the U.S. government as well as the U.K. and France, and other international agencies including the IMF.

It won't surprise me one bit if the MSM starts quoting Schiff's comments as being the accurate version of the call transcript. They sure took liberties with Trump's tweet about AOC & Company.

Is there specific testimony from the DNI that you object to? If so, cite it.

That would be the company that was being investigated for crimes committed two years before Hunter Biden actually joined them, right?

So this is the second thread you have started complaining that people exaggerated the number of times Trump committed a crime. Seriously, is this the best defence out there? Trump commits high crimes and possibly treason, but hey, look! Someone misrepresented how many times he did it!

Is this really all you have left? Complaining about a person thread.

Clearly not.

Got the whole BatTrump and Rudy the Boy Wonder vigilanting international crime in the thread next door.

Yep, there seems to be a pattern in certain posts - lots of innuendo that there's something in the evidence which exonerates Donald, but then never actually saying what that evidence is.
You'd think if something clearing Donald's actions existed it would be posted far and wide. But so far, nothing. Think about it - there are sources which have made up good excuses for him paying off a porn star so she didn't talk about them having sex while his wife was home with their newborn child. And yet there's problems coming up with a viable rationalization for Donald's actions this time. Seems like a pretty bad position to be in, to put it mildly.

An “exaggerated version” is a very diplomatic way of saying lie.

Clearly not.

Is that better than ignoring things that fly in the face of something that doesn’t support a political narrative
