Responding to Rep. Stefanik's campaign to get Rep. Schiff
replaced as chair of the Intelligence Committee. Regarding the whistleblower
complaint she says, "(Schiff) manipulated this information and played
partisan political games." What exactly does that mean? Does it mean he
helped write it, as the president claims? There's a word he used recently that
I probably can't repeat in this forum. Concerning the paraphrase of the president's
call, Schiff's first sentence reads: "Shorn of its rambling character and
in not so many words, this is the essence of what the president
communicates." Clearly he wasn't quoting. Another question for our
congresswoman, given the opportunity, would be if there was anything in the
chairman's statement that was inaccurate. It seemed to properly convey the gist
of the call.
Ukraine is in a war against Russian revanchism with over
13,000 killed. President Trump needs a more believable explanation than
"concern over corruption" for holding up aid to them. His campaign
chairman, Paul Manafort, helped install that corruption. Despite the cyber
disinformation efforts of Russia there, they have elected a president dedicated
to "draining the swamp," for real. Electorally, their resistance may
have been better than ours. It's recently come to light that the president told
the two Russian officials he met, the day after firing James Comey, that he was
unconcerned about their interference in our elections. Has Rep. Stefanik
commented on that? I know she says she's committed to protecting our elections.
That seems more important than Rep. Schiff's attempts at parody.
