California Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff read a portion of a transcript of a telephone conversation between President Donald Trump and his Ukrainian counterpart Thursday before the House Intelligence Committee - but the congressman largely fabricated the president's words.
Schiff claimed he was reading "The essence" of the president's words to the committee's witness, Acting Director of National Intelligence, Joseph Maguire.
Schiff continued, making it up as he went along: "I want you to make up dirt on my political opponent, understand, lots of it, on this and on that. I'm going to put you in touch with people, not just any people, I'm going to put you in touch with the attorney general of the United States, my attorney general Bill Barr. He's got the whole weight of the American law enforcement behind him."
The House Intelligence Committee chairman even suggested that Trump told Zelensky, "'And I'm going to put you in touch with Rudy - you're going to love him, trust me.
' This is the sum and character what the president was trying to communicate with the president of Ukraine.
It would be funny if it wasn't such a graphic betrayal of the president's Oath of Office.
Schiff has said he believes impeachment of the president can be used as a "Tool" to expose Trump's alleged misconduct.
