Trump just tweeted that Schiff should be arrested for treason for paraphrasing what Trump said.

Link to tweet

Rep. Adam Schiff illegally made up a FAKE & terrible statement, pretended it to be mine as the most important part of my call to the Ukrainian President, and read it aloud to Congress and the American people. It bore NO relationship to what I said on the call. Arrest for Treason?

1. Morning Joe mentioned this tweet a few minutes ago.

4. What did he say about it?

Thanks!

7. Basically just read it as another unhinged tweet. I'm not entirely sure that's all

they said because I was posting about this tweet in the Primaries forum by mistake when Morning Joe mentioned it, and then I was busy correcting the mistake and reposting here.

They had Russia expert Julia Davis on right after that, too, didn't really have time to comment on the tweet.

10. Thanks.. "Unhinged" will do. :(

2. Trump is desparate - like a wild animal with his foot caught in a trap

He's chewing off his leg to try and free himself.

15. imagine being the one to have to get a skunk out of a trap

You're bound to be bitten and scratched while gagging on the spray.

How many Repugnants are going to wade into that? That's what I want to see as this plays out.

12. Did you see this thread on a Deadspin article about Trump's bizarre ramblings?

9. Actually, much of what he said was verbatim from the transcript

He added parts to make a point; it's parody and satire, but then, humor isn't your strong point, is it, you POS? Nor do you understand "punching up"

11. Alec Baldwin should be arrested as well

along with the SNL team

14. I'm sure Trump would like to have him arrested.

16. benedict donald is putting bullseyes on all his accusers. nt

17. Honestly, I thought it was a mistake for Schiff to do that

But only because what he was presenting as parody sounded so plausible, coming from this president, that it could have been taken for a verbatim reading of the call notes. So that one is on Trump.

18. I wish Adam would read the document verbatim, give Trump and apology, and

demand that Trump apologize for calling him a Traitor. And, when he doesn't get it, he should demand one everyday by misreading a Trump tweet.

The DEM candidates can make work for Trump by doing something similar -- everyday and different topic hammered into hishardened brain. Give this stage-4 syphilis of the brain some exercise.

19. Trump, go fuck yourself with a deceased hedgehog. n/t
