Rush flipping out claiming Schiff "made up" call transcript

He played audio of Schiff’s opening statement with stuff about “digging up dirt,” etc. Anyone know what Adam was reading from and what the deal is?

They believe everything Rush says without question and are proud of that

They are a substantial part of the population and wield outsized influence due to gerrymandering and the allocation of voters to senate seats and electoral college votes

Congressman Schiff, is a role model for our party, and our nation. Representative Schiff, wisely, had a prepared outline of remarks. He demonstrated his ability to put forward a legal case for the American people. imo

budkin, I thought that troll limp(?)ick, was dead.

Ukrainian president to what a mafia boss would say if he were engaging in such extortion.

Schiff just put it in the vernacular of a mafia crime boss.

Trump finessed it when he spoke with the Ukrainian president.

The summary of Trump's call: This is what Trump said.

This is what he meant: Schiff's interpretation of Trump's words.

I would say things aren't going well for the Turd but the fact is I think he does better when Republicans aren't in power.

a government. It was brilliant and effective and it is all they have left to go after. Pure obfuscation. Funny how he never went after Barr for an actual false report on the Mueller investigation.

He really doesn't want to see everything that's about to happen.

Of course, it would be a mercy for the rest of us at any point.
