Trump: "I am calling for (Schiff) to immediately resign from Congress based on this fraud!"

Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump

Rep. Adam Schiff fraudulently read to Congress, with millions of people watching, a version of my conversation with the President of Ukraine that doesn’t exist. He was supposedly reading the exact transcribed version of the call, but he completely changed the words to make it...

...sound horrible, and me sound guilty. HE WAS DESPERATE AND HE GOT CAUGHT. Adam Schiff therefore lied to Congress and attempted to defraud the American Public. He has been doing this for two years. I am calling for him to immediately resign from Congress based on this fraud!

We also know Paul Ryan is working on Lachlan Murdoch to pull away from Trump in general, but we also have no idea how much "pull" he has. He's accurately seen as someone who could have done something about Trump when he was in office, but chose a soft landing with his tail tucked between his legs.

I don't see Hannity as a rat willing to go down with the ship. I think he'll be in a long as he thinks McConnell will block an impeachment vote, but who knows...he may bail before it comes to that.

Trump's mental state has been rapidly spiraling downward in the last week...there's only so long that even HANNITY will cheer him on from the sidelines.

Trump (in Ryan's eyes) made him a failure who had to quit. There's no love there. And Ryan thinks he has the "stature" and "charisma" (in his own head, only!) to be president-- more than Pence, certainly. So he's positioning himself as the next "head of the GOP."

Got to kick Trump out first.

All the serious entertainment talent is on our side so we could capture audiences that way and educate them politically along the way. IOW, it doesn't have to be 24/7 politics.

and facts, we have actual, verifiable facts whereas all Fox and Rush have are bluster and easily disprovable propaganda.
