Freedom Caucus tries to censure Adam Schiff
There was a strange moment during the hearing the other day when despite having the transcript in front of him of Donald Trump’s much maligned phone call Adam Schiff decided to make up the transcript of the phone call out of thin air. Apparently the actual transcript was not nearly as damning as he had hoped it would be so he decided describe a phone call which better suited the needs of the impeachers.
He later defended this move by saying it was mostly parody, and honestly I believe everybody knew it was parody, but the larger point is this is not the time nor the place for such levity. This is a serious matter, we are talking about impeaching the United States of America and the head of the Intelligence Committee thinks this type of behavior is okay!?
Andy Biggs, head of the Freedom Caucus, does not think it is okay and he has introduced a measure to censure Adam Schiff, here is more:
A House conservative has introduced a measure to censure House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) in an attempt to condemn the Democratic chairman for using “parody” when recounting details of President Trump‘s call with the leader of Ukraine.
House Freedom Caucus Chairman-elect Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.) introduced the resolution Friday shortly after Trump took to Twitter to demand Schiff’s resignation over his remarks, which focused on the president’s July 25 phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Schiff had pointed to a reconstituted transcript of the conversation released by the White House, but paraphrased some points and offered an exaggerated version of the discussion, including saying that Trump directed Zelensky to “make up dirt on my political opponent” a full “seven times.”
Of course nothing is going to happen to him and the Schiff show will be allowed to continue but it would be nice if the Democrats running the inquiry would stick to facts and evidence.
malo periculosam libertatem quam quietum servitium

He should be censured for being a good democratic? He should be censured for being a douche bag.
