House Intelligence Chairman Accuses Trump of ‘Mafia’ Tactics Against Ukraine

During his presidential term, Democrats have called Trump a racist, a sexist, a Nazi, and now they are adding another name to the heap… Mafia boss.

After the transcript of Trump’s call with Ukraine’s president was released, House Intelligence Chairman Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) stated “this is how a mafia boss talks” in reference to Trump’s tone during the conversation.

Overreaction to Transcript

Democrats are all abuzz about the whistleblower complaint made against the Trump administration for alleged misconduct with the Ukraine.

The complaint reportedly accuses Trump of withholding military aid to Ukraine unless the Ukrainian president agreed to investigate Joe Biden.

The transcript, however, reveals no threats at all by Trump to withhold aid.

In fact, the only part of the conversation mentioning its military was a point made by Ukraine’s president to buy more missiles from the United States.

Schiff, however, describes the transcript far differently.

He stated, “This is the Ukrainian president who is desperate for military support…[Trump] tells him he has a favor to ask.

“[Trump] communicates that the U.S. has done a lot for Ukraine, but there is not much reciprocity. This is how a mafia boss talks. ‘What have you done for us? I have a favor I want to ask you.’

“Of course, the favor is to investigate his political rival. To investigate the Bidens.”

He added, “The fact that the president would invoke the attorney general sends a further message to Ukraine—this is not just me asking, this is not just Giuliani asking, but this is the United States government.”

Here is the transcript in full, so you can make your own call on how dishonest Schiff is in his comments…

Republican Pushback

Dems have cried impeachment at every turn and believe this transcript is the final nail in Trump’s coffin.

Republicans, however, are not taking this lightly at all.

Rep. Doug Collins (R-GA), the ranking Republican on the House Judiciary Committee, stated that Democrat had “leapt to conclusions before looking at the facts.

“The real danger here is that Democrats keep using baseless accusations in hopes of crippling a successful presidency.”

Senator Graham (R-S.C.) has been blowing up Twitter for two days talking about how pathetic it is the Democrats are trying to use this conversation to impeach Trump while completely ignoring even the possibility of looking into Biden’s misdoings.

The whistleblower that started this entire mess has reportedly asked to speak with Senate and House committees to discuss the entire complaint, which has Democrats frothing at the mouth.

It should be noted, the whistleblower reportedly has no firsthand knowledge of the conversation at all and is using hearsay to justify the complaint, something that would be completely inadmissible in a court of law.

Additionally, he or she is now being represented by an attorney that used to work for both Chuck Schumer and Hillary Clinton (as if conspiracy theorists needed any more ammunition).
