President Trump is again calling for House Intelligence Committee Chair Adam Schiff (D-CA) to resign for, as Trump claims, lying to Congress with his parody opening statement during the hearing with the acting director of national intelligence on Thursday.
In tweets on Friday morning, Trump bellyached about Schiff’s opening testimony in which the congressman, admittedly, gave an exaggerated paraphrasing of President Trump’s call with the Ukrainian president, in which Trump pressured the leader to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden. Schiff admitted during the hearing the statement was a parody to make a point about Trump’s mob-like tactics.
Trump claimed Schiff “lied” to Congress and should “immediately resign” for committing “fraud!”
…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!

¨Reignites¨?
That implies that there was something there to begin with. In fact, it´s just meaningless, inconsequential Trump spew.
Tactical misstep on Trump’s part. The time to yell crazy, desperate stuff like that is when the cops are taking you out of the building in cuffs and stuffing you into the squad car.
Trump tweets are becoming more and more unhinged and less and less effective. Just throwing shit everywhere in an attempt to see what sticks.
News for you Donnie: three years of your ranting has taught us how to read you.
He’s unfortunately not had enough experience with that phase of law-breaking, but I hope we can make up for lost time.
Everything about Donnie should be a parody in a sane world. But it is all too real.
