Rep. Adam Schiff repeats unfounded claim that Trump sought 'manufactured dirt' on Biden
Washington Times ^ | September 29, 2019 | By Rowan Scarborough

Rep. Adam Schiff on Sunday repeated his unfounded allegation that President Trump asked the president of the Ukraine to “manufacture dirt” on former Vice President Joseph R. Biden.

No such language is in a transcript of Mr. Trump’s phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

Republicans over the past two years have accused Mr. Schiff of making up evidence in the Russia probe and at one point asked him to quit as chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.

Mr. Schiff, California Democrat, first made the “manufacture dirt” allegation Thursday during a committee hearing, saying he was quoting what was in a transcript of a July call between Mr. Trump and Mr. Zelensky.

When Republicans responded that no such wording exists in the transcript, Mr. Schiff agreed and said he had been doing “parody.”

No need to manufacture dirt on Biden. He brags about being a gangster.

At some point he needs to be held accountable—censured—for his actions. Congress needs to do this as the voters in his district will likely continue to vote for him. Is there any recourse in the courts for his lies?

Manufactured dirt. Once again, FredocRATS accusing Republicans of behavior they themselves engage in.

Right out of their father Satan's book, Rules for Radicals, as transcribed by Saul Alinsky.

ABC’s George Stephanopoulos didn’t ask a followup on how the remark on Thursday was “parody” and now is confirmed.

of course he didn’t.

The way to counter balance this and hold Schiff accountable is for the GOP Senate to rain subpoenas on the coup conspirators. That won’t be happening because, sadly, the GOP Senate want POTUS impeached just as much as House Democrats do.

Looks like this is an eye opener for Trump. Try to sit in the background and let things roll without taking control of the DOJ, FBI, and the CIA and tell them to get off their ars then the communists Democrats will attack like hell.

I don’t believe that there IS a whistle blower. I believe that it is a “swamp/Dem fraud”.

Is it Party politics when a Democrat thief cries out because he is about to be apprehended by the police?

It’s a shame Rudy didn’t take the AG job right out of the chute, but that’s water under the bridge.

The silence and sheer passivity by house and senate republicans are downright embarrassing. How can they let Schiff’s stunt go without formal condemnation??

I hope Trump doubles down and takes the time to empty the White House of anyone from Intelligence and others.... it’s not comforting to work among the enemy..

Since this is a time where these things have not happened before, the President is not under the rule of law that applies to normal day to day activity... after seeing what smutz did in making up his own letter.. it’s time to realize all this has to be dealt with... pull the plug.. fire those who can be fired and clean the mess up... no more pussyfooting around... clean house!! And don’t defend... go on the OFFENSE!

even hillary is back.. she thinks the water is clear... it’s not!

Oh there’s a whistleblower alright. Casting agents are conducting auditions as as we speak. My guess is that it ends up being a she. The sheeple will buy it, hook, line and sinker.

I wonder if anyone has any idea if Hillary Clinton ever asked Ukraine if they had any dirt on Donald J. Trump...

Rudy would never been confirmed by the Senate. Not in a million years. McConnell has been beyond brazen in blocking Trump’s MAGA nominees.

There are huge advantages to having a guy like Rudy playing the outside game, especially for a guy like Donald Trump
