"There is absolutely no validity to the complaints about the way this text was excerpted during the House debate on holding Meadows in contempt," argued Norm Eisen, senior fellow in governance studies at the Brookings Institution, who was co-counsel for the House Judiciary Committee during the first impeachment of Donald Trump.
"The fact that a period was inserted, possibly inadvertently, instead of an ellipsis on a graphic presentation is irrelevant. The use of a period versus an ellipsis doesn't change the meaning of the deeply troubling and false statement that the vice president should tamper with electoral votes," Eisen told Newsweek in an email.
Eisen added that it is normal to excerpt portions of materials when you are presenting such material in graphic form during a congressional debate, as there wouldn't have been enough room for all the words in the original text.
False as usual. Adam Schiff did not change the meaning of the text.
