I believe Rep. Schiff, who I'm 100% in favor of, knew the amount of screaming and crying Mc Mike Oct 2019 #5

Good for him. They criticize no matter what we do anyway. Laura PourMeADrink Oct 2019 #10

on the PBS site. Credit goes to AP, and that's better. People in purple and red states may not watch PBS News Hour, but an AP story may get run in their local newspaper. So that's good.

To the three Associated Press fact-checkers!

Him and his will lie a thousand times a day, every lie contradicts the other liars' lies.

The article unscrews the righties' narrative, all their simplistic lies.

That being said, I like Rep. Schiff's version of the call with Zelinsky. He was just joking, or being sarcastic. We can't say what Schiff said was reality, but he's taking it to the chief liar. Saying 'this is what you really said, you're scared to show us what you said and how you said it. Coward.'

What trump really meant on phone call...Schiff does point out he is inserting his characterization. But, in all honesty can see how it could be misconstrued as actual verbatim text. Joke would be stretching it..since he doesn't act like he's joking or being sarcastic at all. IMHO anyway. Actually surprised anyone caught that at all.
