The President slammed Democrat Congressman Adam Schiff Sunday afternoon in a tweet.
Except President Trump didn’t call him Adam Schiff, he called him ‘little Adam Schitt.’
“So funny to see little Adam Schitt (D-CA) talking about the fact that Acting Attorney General Matt Whitaker was not approved by the Senate, but not mentioning the fact that Bob Mueller (who is highly conflicted) was not approved by the Senate!” Trump tweeted. (screenshot below)
Innocent typo? Or is the President in a mischievous mood?

Adam Schiff has attacked the Acting Attorney General since the day he took his position after Sessions resigned.
In a Sunday morning interview on ABC’s “This Week,” Rep. Adam Schiff, who is set to take over as Chairman of the Intel Committee said Whitaker’s appointment is “unconstitutional.”
“I think the appointment is unconstitutional. He is clearly a principle officer and the fact that he is a temporary principle officer doesn’t mean that that is any less subject to Senate confirmation.”
Schiff also said once the Democrats take over in January, they will challenge Whitaker’s appointment.
Schiff has argued for the last week and a half that Whitaker is conflicted and must recuse himself from overseeing Mueller’s Russia probe.
If Whitaker doesn't recuse himself and has any involvement in Mueller's probe, we will expose it, including whether he made any commitments to Trump, is serving as a back channel, or interfering in the probe.
He will be held accountable. There must be no ambiguity about that. pic.twitter.com/ZpNmOynWLi
