19. The Way I Understood What Adam Schiff Did & Said Is This.....

He stated what was in the description of the telephone call that was made available to the committee from the WH. Then he went on to illustrate how it would have sounded if a mafioso would say the same thing in their lingo.

Something to the effect that if the American Public doesn't understand what Trump was conveying to the Ukrainian president - maybe they'd understand what was conveyed by hearing it in the lingo that they are used to in mobster movies or TV.

He didn't say that this is what Trump actually said - but he said that this is what the intent of what Trump was trying to get across to the Ukrainian president.

Is that how others here on DU interpreted it?
