LOL

But those comments are a gross mischaracterization of what Schiff did. Schiff paraphrased the phone call for dramatic effect and made clear he was doing so.

Really? Here is a link to a video of Schiff's "paraphrased" statement:

"Shorn of it's rambling character, and in not so many words, this is the essence of what the President communicates. "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. I hear what you want, I've 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? Lot's of it. On this and on that. I'm gonna put you in touch with people. Not just any people. But I'm gonna put you in touch with Attorney General of the United State, my attorney Bill Barr. He's got the whole weight of American law enforcement behind him. And I'm gonna put you in touch with Rudy, and you're gonna love him, trust me. You know what I am asking so I am only gonna say it a few more times. In a few more ways. And by the way don't call me again. I'll call you again when you've done what I asked.

Aaron Rupar on Twitter: "Side note: Adam Schiff's decision to open the hearing with a fictional account of Trump's call with the Ukrainian president was a bad idea and has already been used by two Republicans to criticize him. Here's video of how Schiff framed things:… https://t.co/HuxKxLHskq"

Now compare that "paraphrased" summarization of the "essence of what the President communicates" with a copy of the declassified document. Only in the most fantasy-filled partisan mind would Mr. Schiff's "characterization" have any merit.

Moreover, IMO had TRUMP done a "paraphrase" like this, I guarantee both the MSM and those who oppose Trump would add it as another "Lie" to his "15000 lies."

So IMO Trump's lawyers have some grounds to "characterize" Schiff's "characterization" as a lie.

One of many ("there is clear evidence the President colluded") Schiff has no problem uttering. :shrug:

The show that really matters is the one in which Trump was forever branded of his own accord and actions as 'Impeached.' That stain of disgrace will forever remain his legacy.

(Impeached) President Trump should have many asterisks next to his name in the history books.

The economy is subject to change. The legacy of Impeachment is NOT. ( fact )

IMO? More like a "stain on the Democrat Party legacy."

History is often kinder in hindsight towards men and women of vision...reviled in their own time for partisan reasons.

Trump might be lauded as one of the best, most successful President's in American history.

One never really knows. :coffeepap:

Yea Clinton lost his law license and Trump will lose nothing when he leaves office in 2025.
 
Dems only want to go after the "outsider" president, because they know their establishment candidates suck. People are sick of the establishment.

And do you really think that bothers Trump. Nope. As I said before, I wish the democrats would drop dead and I wouldn't shed a tear. They have went after our president enough. I'm sorry the queen lost in 2016, but she did and it's not our faults you all nominated her.

Nonsense. Trump loses his ability to use the Office of the Presidency as a bully pulpit to divide the country, ans suck-up/sell-out to the likes of Putin and KJU. Thank gawd for term limits.
