House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff appears to have mischaracterized a text message exchange between two players in the Ukraine saga, according to documents obtained by POLITICO — a possible error the GOP will likely criticize asThe issue arose when Schiff sent a letter to House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler last week summarizing a trove of evidence from Lev Parnas, an indicted former associate of Trump’s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani.
A Democratic official working on the impeachment trial didn’t dispute the suggestion that the initial interpretation was incorrect. But the official “Beginning with Mr. Giuliani’s May 10 letter to President Zelensky two months earlier and leading up to Mr. Giuliani’s August 2 meeting with Mr. Zelensky’s representatives in Spain, Mr. Giuliani and Mr. Parnas actively sought high-level engagement with President Zelensky and his administration to carry out the President’s corrupt scheme,” the official said. “If Mr. Giuliani sought out dirt from other sources, that would be consistent with their overall effort.
But it appears that Democrats misjudged at least one instance where they thought they found an example of Parnas trying to arrange a meeting between Giuliani and Zelensky, according to the unredacted material. Democrats didn't receive the Parnas evidence from the courts until last week and were scrambling to sort through all the materials ahead of the Senate impeachment trial.
'Mischaracterized' is an amusing euphemism for 'lied about'.
Okay, Trump cleared, no impeachment. Now do Trump's legal team.
It’s not may have ... HE DID MISCHARACTERIZE
Jali_Cat You mean lied
Why not focus on the multiple lies told by Trump, his lawyers etc. GOPCoverup
Just call it what it really is, it’s a LIE
You call it mischaracterization, the rest of us call it an out and out lie. You'd have NO trouble calling it a lie if potus said though, right?
Mischaracterized?!?
You should hear him make up a phone call!
It’s called perjury.
LIED is the word you are looking for.
= lied again
This is my shocked face ...
Media keeps the special ed kids in line. Lies, lies and more lies.
That's because behind Pelosi Schiff is one of the biggest liars in town. One minute they have 'overwhelming evidence' the next they need 12 more witnesses. I'm guessing all those opinions and assumptions won't cut it but that's the way liberals decided to go.
I'm shocked!!!
Ok, on one hand, Schiff mischaracterized one tweet between known felonious players and embellished a retelling of the call scenario. On the other, realDonaldTrump has told FOURTEEN THOUSAND lies in 3 years. So yah, ok, they’re even.
You mean he lied again.
It’s called LYING
You mean he lied
You mean he told a lie. FakeNewsMedia
Again?
The entire GOP has given up on integrity and the rule of law, the POTUS tells thousands of lies. But both sides
President Trump appears to be a career criminal and child abuser.
You’ve got to be kidding with this. Trump and republicans are corrupt as hell and Parnas said on live tv Trump knew everything. Drop the bullshit.
Take a look trumpyourefired
Right Schiff made a mistake.....it’s called a lie.
no
realDonaldTrump MAGA2020
And why aren’t you calling out Republican lies told about lack of access—they were there & had opportunity to question witnesses. This mentioning of Schiff is disgusting attempt at “both sides” ImpeachedForever
Dies it really change substantially what is already known about POTUS and the quid pro quo with Ukraine?
Hah. Seriously? That’s what you got for us? How would you describe DT’s characterization of the surrounding facts muh dude?
Adam Shit is a PATHELOGICAl liar!
so basically he lied again
Let's it for what it really is! An again Schiff twisted s.told lies!
TheDailyBail Not exactly a surprise. Adam Schiff has a public history of misrepresentation.
😂😂😂😂😂😂'Mischarecterized a text message' In other words, he blatantly lied and made it up.
Mischaracterize? 😂😂😂 you really mean flat out lied
'mischaracterized'
Occams Razor, Bruh
Is this surprising he lied about FISA and not one “journalist” has asked him about this
Appears to have mischaracterized: LIES. Tell it like it is. When you believe Trump ‘mischaracterized’ anytime, you don’t hesitate to call HIM a liar.
That's Schiff He mischaracterized the information to start the FISA warrent He mischaracterized the phone call between President Trump and President Zelensky...with his own version Now he mischaracterized the text between Parnas and Giuliani 3 strikes his out...of his mind
And look how all the Dems are outraged because the media FINALLY reports the facts! Dems are used to having the media lie and cover for them. How’s it feel?!
Then let’s hear from the witnesses. Clear this up under oath. Oh wait this is not a trial but just a big hot mess orchestrated in the Senate by Tricky Mitch McConnell aka Elmer Fudd
Mid characterization = LYING
No, he was flat our lying.
Treason
Wow! gets the unenviable task of blowing smoke for AdamSchiff 's continued perfidy! Enjoy another hit to your circulation!
idiot
Better watch Politico , these Dems and Libs dont like it when facts are stated they will be boycotting you for showing facts because they've been so brainwashed and co conditioned for the past 3.5 yrs to believe all the lies .
This guy is the lead for the Dems ? LOL.
DavMicRot I want tosee how your going to spin this one.
You mean Schiff lied?
Remember innocent till proven guilty! The accused doesn’t have to provide or prove anything! The accuser must prove the crime! Why don’t they read the actual phone transcript? MAGA
You libs in this thread do know that politico is a left wing rag, right?
Oh? Get real.
Don't be LiberalHacks Schiff had full access to unredacted version of docs. He knew!!!! He lied. Then he manufactured a BS memo. TheJusticeDept when will you do something about traitor Schiff
Unfurling believable. Is this what you got from today’s session. WOW! Looking for a retweet from Trump?
Is that all? It beats obstructing justice.
That is a very generous read of what he did. With the actual text in hand, he lied!
Gee. Ya think? He’s a liar. 🤥🤥
Let’s get this farce over with and get back to enjoying this amazing economy
Schiff mischaracterized something? Say it ain’t so.
Schiff lying again.
You mean LIED.....again?
Translation: Adam Schiff lied again
So.. he lied. Again.
You misspelled lied
MslillieMaga Its Schiff so duh. Call him out on it, hold him accountable. Yet media wont. Why he keeps lying to the public...do your jobs and stop being the propaganda arm of the DNC!
Hm. What if you’re the one misreading it?
Mischaracterized? Political speak for Lied.
Obama investigated the heck out of Trump by spying on his team, but all of a sudden you can’t investigate someone who is running for president? Do you really want to vote on Biden if he money laundered our taxes paid toUkraine?
Not surprised. 🙄 Does a fish swim? Does Schiffty Schiff lie?
Shitty Schiff RepAdamSchiff
Shocked that Schiff “mischaracterized” something. So unlike him...🙄
TheDailyBail Mischaracterized = lie in newspeak.
Um, Did y’all get all of the Parnas evidence? Maybe y’all are accusing Adam Schiff without all the text messages. If that turns out to be the case, will y’all print a retraction? Just curious. StillWaiting
So a guy who is caught robbing the bank gets a pass because the cops referred to a wrong Mr. Z in a document? Is that what is trying to convey?
Still doesn’t override the trove of information they already have.
Of coarse shiftyshift is lieing.about every thing.
It’s getting old watching him make shit up all the time. Is there any accountability for having proven liars in Congress?
Seems to be his speciality assclown
Politico is as bad as Fox Entertainmnet Channel.
BREAKING NEWS: If Politico did the same for Trump's defense today, then counted how many 'mischaracterizations' each side made, then report that out... America could intelligently decide who is honest and who is not. Politico is playing games with the Republic in the balance.
WTF...really? This is what you write? Did you forget abt all the lies the GOP say DAILY? I’m sick of the media ... just sick
Give me a break!
OMg, really ? This is what you want to report on? Did you hear any, I mean any of the lies made by Cipollone at the beginning of this trial.
Unfollowing politico because of this absolutely insane tweet. The Republicans stood there and lied their asses off today and this is your headline?!
Senate should request the production of all documents. Schiff was likely working off a redacted copy. FairTrial
You can use the same title for every story on this particular impeachment farce. Wait, what am I saying? This is the only way democrats operate on everything else. Spread lies, leak info, lie some more, have MSM scream Bloody Mary & repeat lyingliberals
Nice words for 'Adam Schiff lied again'
Huh? Politico this is some BS on the day a job he has done. I believe there might be some bigger fish to fry don’t ya think?
The whole GOP LIES EVERYSECOND.Who cares.
So.....were you in the restroom when Trump's defense lawyer lied outrigh about the Rs not havong access to the SCIF during the clised door portion of the impeachment hearings? Way to show your ass on that one,
Thanks for telling us the really important information. Democracy saved!
When Parnas testifies, I’m sure he can clear this up easily. And give more detail on all that “devastating” evidence I keep hearing he has. Oh wait, Parnas isn’t on the Ds witness list? Must be an oversight.
It's disturbing you would point out a mistake by Schiff but not the repeated lies by the lawyers stating that there was no access to the depositions. Please balance your tweets
This is what you pulled out of today to tweet? Nothing about all the blatant lies by Chipsalone or Suckalow? Really? This is why I switched to thedailybeast
So, between the “impeachment trial kicks off” tweet and this moment, this is your takeaway. You’re taking a side, and it’s not the side of democracy.
“ given the selective redactions & contextual clues, it seems as though Schiff sought to portray an innocuous meeting with Ukrainian oligarch Mykola Zlochevsky as an insidious one with the President of Ukraine simply because both of their surnames start with the letter Z.”😡
GTFOH Politico!
Oh he misspoke !!! Doesn’t he know only white Republicans can do that.
Why am I not surprised..🧐 “The most charitable view of the situation is that [Schiff’s] staff committed the equivalent of Congressional malpractice by not looking more than an inch deep to determine the facts before foisting this erroneous information on his colleagues “
So he lied.
You're kidding, right?
America wants to know why Adam Schiff is not on trial
C’mon man
Now do the lying Trump impeachment lawyers
Schiff claims that Parnas “continued to try to arrange a meeting with President Zelensky,” citing a specific text message exchange where Parnas tells Giuliani: “trying to get us mr Z”
Oh no! he made one error! That means nothing else matters!
Big deal. The president tells lies every second.
Did you report that Cipollone blatantly and repeatedly LIED?
