The despicable Adam Schiff deliberately misrepresented Trump’s conversation with the Ukrainian president in his opening remarks this morning:
Rep. Schiff re-writes the call transcript for added drama: "I’m going to say this only seven times, so you better listen good, 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" pic.twitter.com/1rV7BpEN6o

He calls this the essence of what Trump said, but that’s not true at all and he’s simply using his platform and this hearing to misinform the public.
He was called out on it a little while later by Rep. Mike Turner:
Schiff responded, admitting that it was his own fiction and suggested he should have made that clearer:

No that’s not what the Ukrainian president was receiving Trump’s remarks and only desperate Democrats would characterize it that way. Pathetic.
