Report: Schiff Pressured Witness to Say Trump Applied Pressure On Ukraine to Investigate Biden
Adam Schiff (D-CA) has done nothing but literally make stuff up when it comes to badmouthing President Trump. The guy just cannot tell the truth. He doesn’t want to tell the truth. And the media will continue to back him up because he’s anti-Trump. They love it.
After putting on one heck of a show during a congressional hearing the other week (more on that below), Schiff decided to go ahead and pressure a witness into claiming Trump put pressure on Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden.
That’s not a good look for him, Democrats, or Congress, as a whole. But none of this matters. What matters is that Trump is kicked out of office by any means necessary, right?
From Washington Examiner:
In a secret interview, Rep. Adam Schiff, leader of the House Democratic effort to impeach President Trump, pressed former United States special representative to Ukraine Kurt Volker to testify that Ukrainian officials felt pressured to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden’s son Hunter as a result of Trump withholding U.S. military aid to Ukraine.
Volker denied that was the case, noting that Ukrainian leaders did not even know the aid was being withheld and that they believed their relationship with the U.S. was moving along satisfactorily, without them having done anything Trump mentioned in his notorious July 25 phone conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
When Volker repeatedly declined to agree to Schiff’s characterization of events, Schiff said, “Ambassador, you’re making this much more complicated than it has to be.”
WATCH:
To open a very serious hearing, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) delivers a completely made-up account of President Trump’s conversation with the Ukrainian President.
Very normal and professional.

Reactions:
If the conversation were as damning as Schiff et al would like, he would have simply read directly from it, instead of making up dialogue. Probably not surprising in light of the extravagant collusion claims he made for 2 years.

There isn’t a sleazier human being in politics than corrupt charlatan Adam Schiff. He’s proven over and over that his words are meaningless and his accusations are fairytale-like conspiracy theories. He’s a disgrace to Capitol Hill and to this country.

When you don’t have facts on your side some just make it up. The opening statement by their ring leader was #FullofSchiff. House Dems blatantly lying to justify their impeachment inquiry is horribly timed, poorly written and badly intentioned.

It is disturbing and outrageous that Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee Adam Schiff opens up a hearing of this importance with improvised fake dialogue between President Trump and President Zelenskyy. We should focus on the facts.

We now have both the transcript and the complaint.
Anyone who reads them will see they prove what we already knew: @RepAdamSchiff and his cronies will peddle conspiracy theories and distort the truth to attack our President.
It’s wrong.
