Trump Says Adam Schiff Should Be Arrested For
Treason
By Reuters
September 30, 2019 "Information
Clearing House" - WASHINGTON, Sept 30
(Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday
escalated his attacks against the lawmaker leading
the impeachment inquiry against him, suggesting that
Representative Adam Schiff be arrested for
"treason."
The comment is likely to inflame criticism of
Trump's handling of the scandal engulfing his
presidency, stemming from a telephone call in which
Trump asked Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskiy
to investigate Democratic rival Joe Biden and his
son.
The telephone call was included in an intelligence
officer's whistleblower complaint that raised
concerns about whether the president sought to
leverage U.S. aid to Ukraine for a political favor.

The Lies And
Non-Stop Propaganda?
"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?" Trump wrote in a post on
Twitter.
Trump appeared to reference statements
made by Schiff during a hearing held by
the House Intelligence Committee, of
which Schiff is the chairman. Schiff
said his remarks parodied Trump's
comments on the call with Zelenskiy.
The Republican president has
increasingly lashed out at political
opponents since House Democrats
announced on Tuesday they would pursue
an impeachment inquiry.
He likened the whistleblower and White
House officials who gave information to
the whistleblower to spies and suggested
they committed treason.
The inspector general for the director
of national intelligence deemed the
whistleblower complaint credible and
urgent, while the top U.S. intelligence
officer said the whistleblower acted in
good faith.
