President Donald Trump on Monday took aim at House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) for making up his own version of Trump's call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky during a hearing with Acting Director of National Intelligence Joseph Maguire. The candid comments came in response to a reporter's question about the whistleblower's identity, The Daily Caller reported.
"President Trump, do you know the identity of the whistleblower?” NBC’s Hallie Jackson asked.
"We're trying to find out about the whistleblower that reports things that are incorrect. As you know, and you probably figured it out, the statement I made to the president of Ukraine – a good man, a nice man, new – was perfect. But the whistleblower reported a totally different statement, like a statement that was not even made," Trump replied.
"When the whistleblower reported it he made it sound terrible. And then you had Adam Schiff, who, even worse, made up my words, which I think is horrible. I've never even seen a thing like that," the president explained. "Adam Schiff – representative, Congressman – made up what I said. He actually took words and made it up. The reason is when he saw my call to the president of Ukraine it was so good he couldn't quote from it because there was nothing done wrong. It was perfect."
"So Adam Schiff decided 'I can't let this happen so let me make it up.'... So Adam Schiff made up a phony call," Trump told reporters. "And he read it to Congress and he read it to the people of the United States. And it's a disgrace. This whole this is a disgrace."
According to Trump, he's determined to get to the bottom of the corruption, something he calls "draining the swamp."
"There's been corruption on the other side, corruption like you've never seen," he said. "Now the new president of Ukraine ran on the basis of no corruption. That's how he got elected and I believe that he really means it."
The Democrats have officially launched a former impeachment inquiry over Trump's phone call with Zelensky. The reason? Trump asked Zelensky to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden who threatened to withhold military aid from Ukraine unless a prosecutor was fired for investigating the oil company Biden's son, Hunter, sat on the board of directors of.

The ONLY ones that deny that Washington is hopelessly corrupt are the leftist media...they think that ONLY non-leftists are corrupt.

Congressional Record / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Congressional Record is the official record of the proceedings and debates of the United States Congress, published by the United States Government Publishing Office and issued when Congress is in session. Indexes are issued approximately every two weeks. At the end of a session of Congress, the daily editions are compiled in bound volumes constituting the permanent edition. Chapter 9 of Title 44 of the United States Code authorizes publication of the Congressional Record.
Overview
The Congressional Record consists of four sections: the House section, the Senate section, the Extensions of Remarks, and, since the 1940s, the Daily Digest.[citation needed] At the back of each daily issue is the Daily Digest, which summarizes the day’s floor and committee activities and serves as a table of contents for each issue. The House and Senate sections contain proceedings for the separate chambers of Congress.
A section of the Congressional Record titled Extensions of Remarks contains speeches, tributes and other extraneous words that were not uttered during open proceedings of the full Senate or of the full House of Representatives. Witnesses in committee hearings are often asked to submit their complete testimony “for the record” and only deliver a summary of it in person. The full statement will then appear in a printed volume of the hearing identified as “Statements for the Record”. In years past, this particular section of the Congressional Record was called the “Appendix”.[1] While members of either body may insert material into Extensions of Remarks, Senators rarely do so.[citation needed] The overwhelming majority of what is found there is entered at the request of Members of the House of Representatives. From a legal standpoint, most materials in the Congressional Record are classified as secondary authority, as part of a statute’s legislative history.[citation needed]
By custom and rules of each house, members also frequently “revise and extend” their remarks made on the floor before the debates are published in the Congressional Record. Therefore, for many years, speeches that were not delivered in Congress appeared in the Congressional Record, including in the sections purporting to be verbatim reports of debates.[2] In recent years, however, these revised remarks have been preceded by a “bullet” symbol or, more recently and currently, printed in a typeface discernibly different from that used to report words spoken by members.
The Congressional Record is publicly available for records before 1875 via the Library of Congress’ American Memory Century of Lawmaking website,[3] and since 1989 via Congress.gov (which replaced the THOMAS database in 2016).[4] Thanks to a partnership between GPO and the Library of Congress, digital versions of the bound editions are available on govinfo.gov for 1873 to 2001 (Volumes 1-147) and 2005 to 2015 (Volumes 151-161).[5] Govinfo.gov also provides access to digital versions of the daily edition from 1994 (Volume 140) to the present.[6]

Adam Schiff has contacts in the cabinet, and likely knew somebody that was in the room when the Ukraine call was made.
Point being that, the whistleblower with the second-hand/third-hand knowledge about the call, was likely contacted by somebody like Schiff and was asked to taken on the role of whistleblower. Schiff, Nadler, Pelosi, AOC, Omar, and many other Trump enemies, have contacts with people on the inside of the White House, and any one of them could easily have second-hand knowledge about the call, and any one of them would, for certain, try to use that knowledge to take down Trump. There is a reason that the whistleblower is unknown till now, and we might be looking at somebody in congress as the whistleblower.
Pelosi has a way out. Kind of. She obviously hasn’t read the whistleblower report and she hasn’t seen the transcript of the call. Her way out is to call a press conference and announce that Adam Schiff presented her with the made up “parody”, and that’s why she called for the impeachment inquiry. As a result she is terminating the impeachment inquiry, and has removed Adam Schiff from the house intelligence committee, fired his staff, and has filed an ethics complaint against Adam Schiff. She is also starting an investigation into the CIA leadership who signed off on the whistleblower changes that got rid of the first person rule.
Will she do it? Hardly; she’s a democrat.
The take home message here being that any amount of corruption on the part of DemocRATs is acceptable, but investigating it is an impeachable offense.
We live in dangerous times.
Back in my high school days, I actually believed the absolute drivel contained within the pages of the Congressional Record.
No more. I am now experienced enough to know that the lowest of the low (with very few exception) inhabit the houses of congress. They have little thought of any kind, let alone original or creative thought.
But, back then, the lib arts profs in universities where these low-T clowns were “eddikated” were actually well educated and smart. Now? Heh!
Sad, but true.
Best President...ever.
There’s room on Mt. Rushmore for his likeness.
Schiffty is the one who tried to collude with a foreign power.
The local FOX radio staion was saying that Schiff "paraphrased" what was said.
WTF. Schiff flat out lied. It was a fiction as to what was really said.
You’re correct, Schiffty flat out lied and he didn’t fess up that it was a supposed parody until after the hearing.
The irony is not only Schiff Head’s personal satire quote a pure fabrication but the entire thing is based on a lie of hearsay and gossip. It’s a double lie. Lies upon lies upon lies. The new democrat motto. Lie till something sticks.
