But he uses it and states it as fact. he ignores the full context and nobody of this is new for this president. he teed off on another target, adam schiff for what he called shameless lies, fantasy language. despite the fact that schiff said this at the same hearing. >> it reads like a classic organized crime shakedown. sure of its rambling characters and in not so many words, this is the essence of what the president communicates. >> look, while were pointing out the fact hume mistake, there is...
