Adam Schiff Closing Argument: Russia Carried out ‘Coup‘ Against U.S. By Manipulating Trump bit.ly/2tO6lrk via @BreitbartNews
Schiff claimed that Russia had done a “psychological profile” of Trump and manipulated him into believing Russian intelligence.
Schiff portrayed Trump as a puppet being controlled by Russia: “It’s not just a propaganda coup, it’s not just the undermining of our agencies. It’s also that the buy-in to that propaganda meant that Ukraine wasn’t going to get money to fight the Russians.”
“I mean, that’s one hell of a Russian intelligence coup. … Has there ever been such a coup?”
Going further, Schiff accused Trump of “betrayal” of his country, playing a debunked video clip of then-candidate Trump allegedly inviting Russia to interfere in the presidential election (Trump was joking at a press conference).
