President Trump on Wednesday said House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) defrauded the American people and should be prosecuted for reading a fake transcript of his call to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to during a congressional hearing.
“He took my congenial and gentle words and he made me sound like a tyrant — it’s a terrible thing,” Trump said to reporters at the White House.
“He defrauded the American public. I mean honestly, I don’t know what can happen, but there are those that say he should be prosecuted for what he did,” Trump added. “He should be prosecuted and I think he is a very bad leader for this movement.”

In case you missed it, here is video of Adam Schiff fabricating Trump’s words during a Congressional hearing on September 26:
Wow.
My jaw is on the floor.
“Intelligence” Committee Adam Schiff just fabricated, out of thin-air, the contents of the Trump phone call with Ukraine’s President.
Not a word he says here is true. Not. A. Word.

Not only did Schiff fabricate President Trump’s words, he also knew of the CIA snitch’s allegations against Trump before the CIA officer filed the whistleblower complaint.
Schiff broke the House rules when he withheld the classified information from the Minority members (such as Devin Nunes) yet he still has not faced any consequences.
