Russian Pranksters Offer #FakeNews Dirt on Trump to Adam Schiff, and, Get This, Adam Schiff Desperately Wants That Dirt

Isn't this the same "collusion" that Donald Trump, Jr. is accused of having undertaken?

Remember, he was punked too -- the Russian lawyer Veselnitskya did not offer any information about Clinton. She used the claim of that just to get a meeting, which she then used to lobby against the Magnitsky Act until everyone got bored of her and asked her to wrap it up.

Strange that a Democrat pushing the idea that that act constituted "collusion" with Russians would gladly accept a phone call from Russians promising naked pictures of Trump, no?

And isn't it odd this isn't more of a media story?

Adam Schiff by telling Democrat that Putin has NAKED blackmail pictures of Trump - and he gets his staff to try to collect 'classified materials for the FBI'

Adam Schiff, the ranking Democratic member of the House Intel Committee was recorded speaking to Russian pranksters who spun elaborate 'kompromat' tale
He told Vocan and Lexus, two radio pranksters who have also hit Nikki Haley, that he would pass their claims to the FBI in a call made last year

The duo posed as a fake Ukrainian politician to say Trump had sex with Russian glamour model Olga Buzova after a Miss Universe pageant in 2013

In the call they said Putin had been passed naked pictures of Trump and now-president had used secret codes for talks with Russians

Duo gave emails to DailyMail.com which showed Schiff's staff trying to arrange to collect 'classified' documents from Ukraine's embassy in D.C.

Schiff's office claimed he was not fooled by the call and reported it to 'authorities' but did not explain why his staff kept up correspondence

Could this be among that "non-public information" Adam Schiff has previously claimed he had that proved the dossier?

The call, made a year ago, was actually from two Russian comedians nicknamed 'Vovan' and 'Lexus' who have become notorious for their phony calls to high-ranking American officials and celebrities, including UN Ambassador Nikki Haley and Elton John.

Its existence was first reportedby The Atlantic but not how a staff member working for the minority on the House Intelligence Committee pursued the information after the call.

Schiff's office said the congressman suspected the call was 'bogus' from the beginning and reported it to authorities afterward.

But in a recording of the eight minute conversation, Schiff appeared to take the call seriously – or at least played along convincingly - and emails from the Democrat's staff to the fake politician afterwards said he had found it 'productive'.
