Just want to take a moment here to check in on the GOP spin that’s already happening. The president has retweeted this tweet from House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, which shows a video clip of Rep. Jim Jordan saying that Schiff is the only person in Congress who knows who the whistleblower is. What’s not included in the clip — thus making it massively misleading — is Schiff saying “that’s not true.”
.@Jim_Jordan to Chairman Schiff: “Of the 435 members of Congress, you are the only Member who knows who the whistleblower is, and your staff is the only staff who has had a chance to talk with that individual.
“We would like that opportunity. When might that happen?” pic.twitter.com/UBzmorAbOR— Kevin McCarthy (@GOPLeader) November 13, 2019
