Lied to the American public.

Again.

I'm glad Adam Schiff wasn't "awarded" a "bottomless Pinocchio." That's the rating that had to be made for Donald Trump bc of his lies that are habitually repeated. I'm glad the fact-checker called out Pompeo for his blatant deception. And I'm glad that Schiff acknowledged that he could have used more clarity in his responses.

So, what is this about?

Schiff: “In the absence of the actions, and I want to thank the inspector general, in the absence of his actions in coming to our committee, we might not have even known there was a whistleblower complaint alleging an urgent concern.”

The committee did know there was a whistleblower complaint, but it was the IG who labeled it "urgent" and "credible".

He probably shouldn't have said "we" when he stated that, "We have not spoken directly with the whistleblower." He, himself, had not, but a committee staff member had.

Speaking of lies, is this on the same level as when Donald claimed about Schiff, that he had committed "treason" and "a crime"? Was he this on the same level as when Donald stated, "But he went up to the microphone and he read a statement from the president of the United States as if I were on the call, because what happened is when he looked at the sheet — which was an exact transcript of my call, done by very talented people that do this — exact, word for word, he said, ‘Wow, he didn’t do anything wrong.’ "?

He flat out lied

This is from the source you used:

A House Intelligence Committee spokesperson told the Post that Schiff's answer to Stein "should have been more carefully phrased."

“Regarding Chairman Schiff’s comments on ‘Morning Joe,’ in the context, he intended to answer the question of whether the Committee had heard testimony from the whistleblower, which they had not,” the spokesperson said. “As he said in his answer, the whistleblower was then awaiting instructions from the Acting [Director of National Intelligence] as to how the whistleblower could contact the Committee. Nonetheless he acknowledges that his statement should have been more carefully phrased to make that distinction clear.”

But I mean sure it's like you really want to make the effort to point out the molehill of a deception standing next to Donald Trump's Mt Ranier-sized lies.

A generation whose response to liars is to hide that liar behind another liar deserves nothing but liars.

That's been going on in every generation since the dawn of humanity.

NYT gives him four Pinocchios

Sigh.

The failing NYT does not give out Pinocchios.

Pinocchios are given out by Amazon liberal billionaire Bezos-owned Washington Post.

The committee did know there was a whistleblower complaint, but it was the IG who labeled it "urgent" and "credible".

And it was Adam Schiff, committee head who knew about the complaint and whose staff gave guidance to the whistle blower.

Then he lied on national tv saying he didn’t know.

So your quote is an example of another lie.
Good job.

So, the OP is a lie, eh?

He flat out lied

It is weird ... I can't seem to find all of the posts created about statements from Donald rated as outright lies. Did the Times just start rating politicians' truthfulness in the past week or so?

 

[KCfromNC]

At least previous posts with similar truth content had catchy-looking photoshopped magazine covers to go along with the claims.

Good job.

Weird how many threads there are pointing out minor issues with the people involved with the investigation versus well-researched fact based explanations of why Donald is innocent of the things the evidence shows he did.

I give HisLegacy 4 pants on fires for his OP.

EXACTLY!!!!

There is a great video here:

Trump says Schiff 'helped write' whistleblower complaint, after House panel admits advance knowledge

That's quite a leap to make there - the committee was contacted but not filled in on the details, but they knew the whistleblower was blowing the whistle. So of course, as time went on and no complaint was forwarded as expected, they looked in to it.

But to go from there to Schiff help write it? That's a Donald bald-faced lie.
