WaPo Busts Adam Schiff Again, Gives Him '3 Pinocchios' for Lying

He later claimed it was "Parody" but then continued to lie about the call during television interviews to make President Donald Trump look bad. The WaPo had previously given Schiff four Pinocchios in October for lying about contacts with the whistleblower claiming his panel had "Not spoken directly with the whistleblower." WaPo called that "Flat-out false." Schiff's committee aide had in fact met with the whistleblower and even recommended he file a complaint.

The whistleblower also sent Schiff a letter dated Aug. 12, apprising him about the call/complaint.

Schiff has continued to tell falsehoods throughout the hearings, including that he doesn't know who the whistleblower is.

Schiff stops him to "Protect the whistleblower".

Schiff has said repeated recently, including during impeachment hearings on Tuesday, that the whistleblower who filed a formal complaint about Trump's July 25 phone call with the president of Ukraine, has a statutory right to remain anonymous.

"The whistleblower has the right, a statutory right, to anonymity. These proceedings will not be used to out the whistleblower," Schiff said Tuesday.

The WaPo noted that anonymity is not included in the Intelligence Community Whistleblower Protection Act.
