Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) misled multiple times when asked about whether he knew about the whistleblower who alleged President Donald Trump had broken the law during a conversation with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky. For that, The Washington Post’s fact checker Glenn Kessler awarded him “Four Pinocchios” the highest rating, indicating an outright falsehood.

Schiff had made multiple statements regarding the whistleblower prior to The New York Times and the Post’s reporting that showed the whistleblower “approached a House Intelligence Committee staff member for guidance before filing a complaint with the Intelligence Community inspector general,”

I agree...he needs to be removed from the committees he's on.

He cannot be trusted and IMO, for a variety of reasons.

Trump's false claim that the rules for whistleblowers were recently changed - four pinocchios.

Trump's false claims about Hunter Biden's China dealings - four pinocchios.

Trump's Pinocchio-laden claims about Joe Biden, Ukraine, and polls - four pinocchios.


Not to do too much whataboutism, but if 4 pinocchios means they are untrustworthy, I have some bad news for some of you...

The deflection is incredible. The right wing is putting a real estate salesman turned politician before their country and protecting our democracy.

It can’t be any clearer. All that matters is Trump asked a foreign government to get dirt on his opponent if they wanted to see any of that military assistance. He’s got a shadow government working for him and being flown around the world on tax payer money.

Anyone who continues to be OK with this and continues to look for diversions aren’t true Americans.

That’s number one priority.

As has long been the agreements - our President asked other governments to assist in Investigations stemming for the 2016 election. Neither Joe or Hunter were his opponent.

He did not ask for dirt on his 2020 election opponents to help him win.

The 2016 election interference investigations have been ongoing since the day of the election. Everyone has been investigating them.

Plus President Trump first called on the Ukraine and Australia and others, publicly in May.

There really is nothing here that he did wrong.

How much would they complain if there were no investigation into the election interference? No matter what President Trump does, they twist it so that he is doing the wrong thing. He is simply doing what he should be doing.

Twisted more than a pretzel for sure.

The hate leveled against him is frankly ridiculous. There have been many presidents that I disagreed with but I would never work up this much energy of daily hate.

You did read the transcript where Biden was mentioned more than once. It doesn’t take a genius to know he was asking for dirt on his opponent. And he’s asking other countries publicly because he’s an idiot.

The 2016 thing is just an obsession of his. The right wing conspiracy theory about Ukraine being involved is ludicrous and it’s embarrassing to this country to have our president repeating a debunked crazy made up story.

Can you name one constitutional scholar who thinks he did “nothing”? An expert who doesn’t see the abuse of power?

It always comes back to the excuse of “hate”. No. It’s decent Americans out here who are horrified every day that this clown is disgracing the office. Flagrantly abusing his power. Tweeting for the whole world to see how low America has sunk.

Don’t compare it to presidents you’ve “disagreed” with. This goes far beyond that. This is the first time a clown from reality TV world has been elected and we want to make sure it never happens again.

Stop with the excuses and right wing talking points.
