Has Rep Schitt ever once been right?

New Evidence Destroys @RepAdamSchiff’s Theory About Trump Tower Meeting dailycaller.com/2019/01/31/tru…

The Senate Intel Committee obtained phone records showing Donald Trump Jr. did not speak with his father from a blocked telephone number in the days before the infamous Trump Tower meeting in June 2016.

The finding undercuts Democrats’ theory Trump Jr. might have told his father in those phone calls about the Trump Tower meeting, which was held June 9, 2016, with a group of Russians who had offered dirt on Hillary Clinton.

Democrats led by California @RepAdamSchiff long theorized the phone calls were between father and son and that they could have discussed the meeting.

“We wanted to get the phone records to determine, was Donald Trump talking to his son about this meeting,” Schiff told CNN in November 2018.

“It’s an obvious investigative step, but one Republicans were unwilling to take because they were afraid of where the evidence might lead.”

Phone records provided to the Senate Intelligence panel shows the calls were between Trump Jr. and two business associates.

The calls were made in the days before the Trump Tower meeting. Another call occurred several hours after the meeting.

Democrats have suggested Trump Jr. lied to Congress and that Trump himself has lied publicly about whether he knew about the meeting before it happened. Trump has claimed he learned about it only when the press started inquiring about it in 2017, over a year after the meeting.
