Trump launched into a bizarre rant on Sunday night, where he demanded that House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff be deposed.
Trump tweeted:
This Scam going on right now by the Democrats against the Republican Party, and me, was all about a perfect phone call I had with the Ukrainian President. He’s already stated, NO PRESSURE! Where is the Whistleblower, or the 2nd Whistleblower, or the “informant?” All gone…..

….because their so-called story didn’t come even close to matching up with the exact transcript of the phone call. Was it a Corrupt Adam Schiff con? Why didn’t the IG see this? When do we depose Shifty Schiff to find out why he fraudulently made up my phone call and read this..

….fiction to Congress and the American People? I demand his deposition. He is a fraud, just like the Russia Hoax was, and the Ukraine Hoax is now. When do the Do Nothing Democrats pay a price for what they are doing to our Country, & when do the Republicans finally fight back?

Where is Adam Schiff going to be deposed? Trump knows that Schiff has immunity and can’t be sued, plus Adam Schiff did nothing wrong, so how is this deposition that Trump is demanding happening? Adam Schiff is a former prosecutor. Deposing Rep. Schiff would have the same impact as deposing Donald Trump. Trump only has one playbook, and it has become obvious once he replaced the “Russia hoax” with the “Ukraine hoax.” Adam Schiff is now playing the role of Robert Mueller, just like Trump thinks that the Democratic nominee will play the role of Hillary Clinton in 2020.
Donald Trump is obsessed with impeachment and clearly not well.
He is making demands that have no connection to reality as his primary motive is to throw wild allegations against the wall and hope that something sticks to save his presidency.
