PJM:
Appearing on CBS’s Face The Nation Sunday morning, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff essentially conceded that there was no quid pro quo between President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky by saying “there doesn’t need to be a quid pro quo.“
“We have discovered in short order not only the contents of that call, but also the preparatory work that went into the call. The effort to condition something the Ukrainian president deeply sought, and that was a meeting with the president to establish that this new president of Ukraine had a powerful patron in the president of the United States that was of vital importance to Ukraine, was being conditioned on digging up dirt on the Bidens,” Schiff told Margaret Brennan.
“So, you see that as the quid quo pro, not just the military aid,” she replied.
“Well, first of all, there doesn’t need to be a quid pro quo,” Schiff told her. “But it is clear already, I think, from the text messages that this meeting that the Ukrainian president sought was being conditioned on their willingness to intervene in the U.S. election to help the president.”
For weeks now, we’ve been told that the transcript was evidence of a quid pro quo, and now Adam Schiff is saying “there doesn’t need to be a quid pro quo.” Does anyone see this as a huge concession on Schiff’s part? more
So the liar is now lying again.
Why is everything being shrouded in secrecy?
Truth doesn’t need secrecy to protect it.
The old moving the goal posts trick.
Is there a bigger douche bag in congress?
Schiffty and others have been saying that for a couple of weeks. Their game is to convince people that the phone call was high crimes or misdemeaners, without a quid pro quo.
There doesn’t have to be a quid pro quo? Crap, from everything we’ve seen before our own eyes and ears, there doesn’t even have to be any misbehavior. They just want impeachment. When it comes down to it I don’t feel he has many allies despite all the rhetoric we see sometimes. They’re all crooked as hell after they’ve been there awhile. Sure has been a lot of sudden Republican departures/retirements. Do they see the swamp about ready to become unplugged? Get out early and try to keep your feet clean.
