Adam Schiff: This Phone Record Proves that the OMB Called Rudy Giuliani. That Is All the Proof We Need That He Was Lobbying to Deny Ukraine Aid.
OMB: That's... That's not our phone number, dude
Adam Schiff: ...
Adam Schiff: But Russia

Instead of deploying Oliver Darcy to pressure FaceBook and YouTube into deplatforming Adam Schiff as a constant source of fake news from foreign sources, they instead promote his every false claim.

Who called Rudy Giuliani from the White House, and who took his calls in the administration? Those question have been buzzing around the White House after phone logs were released Wednesday detailing how President Trump's personal lawyer back-channeled diplomacy to Ukraine.

But the phone calls, a presidential spokesperson told RealClearPolitics, were not coming from inside the Office of Management and Budget: "No one from OMB has talked to Giuliani."

...

The report details phone calls and texts dating from last spring and summer, including a nearly 13-minute call on April 24 from an "OMB Phone Number." It is part of the evidence that Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff relied on to build his case for impeachment.

"This is not about Ukraine. This is about our democracy, this is about our security," Schiff said during a press conference after releasing the committee's impeachment report. "Americans should care deeply about whether the president of the United States is betraying their trust in him."

Senior administration officials reply that no one is betraying any trust. They tell RCP that Schiff must have the wrong number....

Apparently Schiff and his staff believe the 395 prefix that showed up on the phone records subpoenaed by House Democrats from AT&T and Verizon belongs only to phones in the OMB offices, something that Republican sources say isn't accurate.

Schiff is so concerned about using foreign sources to get dirt on domestic political opponents that when two men identifying themselves as Russian officials peddled him dirt on Trump, he was all too eager to set up a meeting.

The men turned out to be Ukrainian radio hosts pranking him, but obviously he didn't know that.

So there was Pencil-Neck Adam, trying to collude with Russia.

As the little pillow biter has lectured us for two weeks -- just because your collusion failed, doesn't mean it wasn't a crime to attempt it, and it doesn't mean you should not be subject to removal proceedings in the House.
