Schiff makes up Trump conversation to better fit his fraudulent narrative

Conservative Review:

Adam Schiff makes up phony Trump-Ukraine phone conversation during formal statement at intelligence hearing

The NY Times and the Washington Post also omitted material parts of the President's conversation in order to push their fraudulent narrative about it.  While they may contend that this is mere editing when you omit material facts you are engaging in fraud.

Stephen Green notes:

...
Trump waited until Pelosi had made the impeachment threat official, then released the transcript of his chat with Zelensky. Turns out, the smoking gun didn't even fire blanks. The Federalist's Sean Davis wrote that the transcript "shows that Trump mentioned Biden and his son only once, and that there was zero discussion whatsoever of connecting financial aid to an investigation of Hunter Biden’s controversial Ukrainian energy business or the prosecutor who was fired while investigating it."

But that's not how the Mainstream Media reported it over the last couple days, blowing whatever might have been left of the final shards of their credibility. CNN deliberately excised 540 words from the middle of the transcript between "I would like you to do us a favor" and mentioning Hunter Biden. Here's the clip:

Hey everyone!

If you are reporting on the "favor" line from the transcript, without mentioning that the VERY next sentence is about wanting an investigation into meddling in the 2016 election...

...you are being misleading.

It's right here. Come on.

CNN just skipped right over it on air earlier this afternoon.

Over at Fox News, Shepard Smith made the exact same edit. So did MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace and Katy Tur. CNN did it a second time in this clip with Jim Acosta and Wolf Blitzer. Arguably worse, the Washington Post ran the exact same lie -- and it is a lie -- as the top story on their front page this morning. If there are other examples, and I'm sure there are, you shouldn't be at all surprised.

Meanwhile, the whistleblower admits the complaint is based on hearsay from several sources that are not identified.   But the complaint misstates what the text of the phone call actually says.  The media has again become a coconspirator in a coup attempt just like they did in the Russian collusion hoax.

What they left out was the actual favor Trump was requesting.

I would like you to do us a favor though because our country has been through a lot and Ukraine knows a lot about it. I would like you to find out what happened with this whole situation with Ukraine, they say Crowdstrike … I guess you have one of your wealthy people … The server, they say Ukraine has it. There are a lot of things that went on, the whole situation. I think you’re surrounding yourself with some of the same people. I would like to have the attorney general call you or your people and I would like you to get to the bottom of it. As you saw yesterday, that whole nonsense ended with a very poor performance by a man named Robert Mueller, an incompetent performance, but they say a lot of it started with Ukraine. Whatever you can do, it’s very important that you do it if that’s possible.

Crowdstrike is the firm the DNC claims found the Russian hack which started the collusion scam.  As Julie Kelly points out:

...
CrowdStrike is a cybersecurity firm with strong ties to the Democratic Party. After the DNC server was hacked in early 2016, Perkins Coie, a politically connected law firm, hired CrowdStrike on behalf of the DNC to find out who was behind the intrusion. (Perkins Coie is the same law firm that hired Fusion GPS on behalf of the DNC and Hillary Clinton campaign to dig up Russia-related dirt on Team Trump before the election.)

That isn’t the extent of CrowdStrike’s dubious political ties. Its co-founder, Moscow-born Dmitri Alperovitch, is associated with the Clinton Foundation; in 2015, CrowdStrike received $100 million in funding from Google whose chairman, Eric Schmidt, was a generous supporter of Hillary Clinton. CrowdStrike’s president is Shawn Henry, who headed up the FBI’s cybercrimes division during the Obama Administration when Robert Mueller was director.
...

It is not surprising that the coconspirators in the Russian collusion hoax would want to omit any references to trying to get to the bottom of it.
