Schiff may have misled Nadler about texts between Parnas and Giuliani
Schiff may have misled Nadler about texts between Parnas and Giuliani
January 22, 2020 | By Dominick Mastrangelo
House impeachment manager Adam Schiff misconstrued text messages between two key players in a pressure campaign against Ukraine waged by President Trump's administration, according to a new report. In a letter to fellow impeachment manager Rep. Jerry Nadler, Schiff said indicted businessman Lev Parnas “continued to try to arrange a meeting with President Zelensky” and provided text messages between Parnas and Rudy Giuliani, the driving force behind the campaign, as evidence of this effort.
Documents obtained by Politico Tuesday night show Schiff cited one text message in which Parnas told Giuliani he was “trying to get us mr Z.”
A Democratic official told the outlet that "Z" was commonly used as a shorthand by associates of the president to refer to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. However, a Republican aide said the interpretation was, at best, careless. "But an unredacted version of the exchange shows that several days later, Parnas sent Giuliani a word document that appears to show notes from an interview with Mykola Zlochevsky, the founder of Burisma, followed by a text message to Giuliani that states: 'mr Z answers my brother.' That suggests Parnas was referring to Zlochevsky not Zelensky," Politico reported. Burisma is the oil and gas company on which former Vice President Joe Biden's son Hunter sat on despite a lack of experience. Trump has pointed to Hunter Biden's place on the board as an example of "how corrupt" the Bidens are. Last week, Parnas claimed in a series of media interviews that though he did not speak with Trump directly about the pressure campaign, the president knew what he and Giuliani were doing.
Comment:
"Misled" and "misspoke" are euphemistic weasel-words for Schiff "lied." Democrats especially Schiff, Nadler, Schumer and Pelosi are lying to everyone, including each other, because their arguments are so weak. One the many and largest Schiff lie yesterday involved his claim that DJT only worried about Ukraine corruption during an election year. However, testimony transcripts from Schiff’s own committee clearly show that DJT voiced concerns in ‘17 and 18'. Schiff hid them.
Meanwhile, Schiff has both slandered AND committed perjury in this process- and he skates. Had a Republican even done one-tenth the slander and lies of what Schiff has perpetrated, the Progressive Marxist Socialist/DSA Democrats Leftists would demand and scream and stomp their feet until that republican were removed from the process. Nothing he says can be trusted.
In a normal court of law, a judge would charge the lawyer(s) with perjury by lying to the court..
