Unfortunately, there’s no video, but Wyoming Sen. John Barrasso says Adam Schiff’s face turned white when President Trump’s counsel played a clip of the California representative undermining his own party’s argument for impeachment.
Per Western Journal:
This was, viewers may remember, Schiff’s attempt at parodying the transcript of the call between Trump and Zelensky. He didn’t actually say it was a parody at the time, mind you, nor is he particularly funny, which is why the joke got him into a bit of trouble.
See if you think that Schiff is hilarious: “This is the essence of what the president communicates: ‘We’ve been very good to your country, very good, no other country has done as much as we have, but you know what, I don’t see much reciprocity here. I hear what you want.
“‘I have a favor I want from you, though, and I’m going to say this only seven times, so you better listen good. I want you to make up dirt on my political opponent, understand, lots of it, on this and on that. I’m going to put you in touch with people — not just any people, I’m going to put you in touch with the attorney general of the United States, my Attorney General Bill Barr. He’s got the whole weight of the American law enforcement behind him.
“‘And I’m going to put you in touch with Rudy — you’re going to love him, trust me. You know what I’m asking, and so I’m only going to say this a few more times in a few more ways. And by the way, don’t call me again, I’ll call you when you’ve done I asked.’ This is in sum and character what the president was trying to communicate.”
Watch Barrasso’s observations below after hearing the Deputy Counsel to the President, Mike Purpura, beseech Congress to stick to the facts in the case:
