The Gateway Pundit<\/a> posted a video of some of the White House Defense team’s testimony before the Senate this morning. The focus was on facts–not ‘I presumed’ or ‘I felt’ or ‘it seemed to me.’ The article includes a short video of the testimony of Deputy White House Counsel Patrick Philbin.<\/p>\n

This is a partial transcript of that testimony:<\/p>\n

Patrick Philbin<\/span>: What changed? At first Manager Schiff agreed we should hear the unfiltered testimony from the whistleblower. But then he changed his mind\u2026 There was something else that came into play. And that was something Manager Schiff had said earlier when he was asked about whether he had spoken to the whistleblower.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Schiff<\/span>: (TV clip) Uh, we have not spoken directly to the whistleblower. We would like to.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Patrick Philbin<\/span>: And it turned out that statement was not truthful. Around October 2nd or 3rd it was exposed that Manager Schiff\u2019s staff \u2013 at least \u2014 had spoken with the whistleblower before the whistleblower filed the complaint. And potentially had given some guidance of some sort to the whistleblower. And after that point it became critical to shut down any inquiry into the whistleblower\u2026 And Manager Schiff was in charge. He was chairing the hearings. And that creates a real problem from a due process perspective, from a search for truth perspective. Because he was an interested fact witness at that point. He had a reason. Since he had been caught out saying something that wasn\u2019t true\u2026 It was he who ensured there wasn\u2019t any inquiry into that\u2026 The Mueller Report\u2026 determined there was no conclusion. That wasn\u2019t true\u2026 Chairman Schiff has made so much of the House case about the credibility of interpretations that the House managers want to place, on not hard evidence, but on inferences. They want to tell you what President Trump thought. They want to tell you don\u2019t worry about what Zelensky said we can tell you what Zelensky actually thought\u2026 It is very relevant to know whether the assessment of evidence he\u2019s presented in the past are accurate.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Facts can be very inconvenient things to liars.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
