The resident kook of Congress, Rep. Adam Schiff, opened up his Congressional hearing with a fictional narrative of President Trump’s phone call to his Ukrainian counterpart. All to fit the false narrative that the Presient committed a crime that never happened.
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.
The actual transcript, which you can read here, says no such thing.
Later on during the hearing Schiff excused his fictional account of the phone call by explaining it was “parody”.

Now if the transcript had been as damning as Schiff and pals are alleging he would of read directly from the actual transcript instead of making up a conversation. But none of this spectacle is surprising giving the over the top accusations he made a few years ago about Russian collusion. He lives in a dream world of Trump the boogeyman.
End note: As I write this the big 3 networks are all preempting regularly scheduled programming to carry Schiff’s farce of a hearing, gavel to gavel, of a non-event. Just more evidence of how much our MSM is in the tank for the Democrats.
And about that earlier WaPo story?
.1/ To follow up on my earlier tweets & @DevinNunes's statements at @HouseIntel committee hearing today with DNI McGuire, if the whistleblower was following the rules & not speaking to the press or congressional Democrats, how did this story run on 9/19?https://t.co/7I7PWO1fZe

.2/ Its pretty clear from the Washington Post story that someone knew the details of this complaint who is hostile to @realDonaldTrump and leaked it to the press. My guess is this leak came from House Democrats who have been heavily involved in orchestrating this complaint.

Hmmmmm, who could of leaked that?
Adam Schiff tweeted this 16 days after the so-called whistleblower's letter to Schiff dated August 12, and 12 days before the IC IG's letter notifying Schiff of the complaint. pic.twitter.com/QMOMVY6pw8

You don’t say? Shocking!
Schiff is following the same tactics as he did with the Russia bullshit story. Read the whole thread.
And which media propagandist did Schiff use as a prop to hide the true source of his allegations? One of Fusion GPS's favorite stenographers of discredited Steele-esque innuendo: Natasha Bertrand.
The whole thing has been a Fusion GPS-style info op from the very beginning.
