In re: The echo of a shitt-shovelling Troll and a redundant but colorful Federalist article re-post ...
What on earth moved you to respond to a post of mine which responded to a Federalist post by Neeka and repeat the complete article he posted when doing so?
<< Anything accusing the shills like Schitt is always "mostly false". As if Politifact wasn't a brazen left wing propaganda website. LOL >>
Presumably you are talking about an outstanding the U.S. congressman from California, Representative Adam Schiff.
Schiff holds an A. B. in poli-sci with distinction from Stanford (1982). He received his J. D. from Harvard Law School, where he graduated cum laude in 1985. He spent 6 years as a U.S. DOJ prosecutor then 4 years as a California State Senator. Elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 2000 he began serving his 11th term in Congress in January 2021 and he currently chairs the United States House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. All that and a triathlete and great family man.
How do your creds compare to that?
You consider Schiff to be a shill for whom?
How and why did Politifact get into the picture? Newsweek did not use them as a Fact-Checker.
<< Yes Schitt tampered with the email(which is the claim) then PoitLiar adds "but he did it inadvertently(really? where's the proof?), so now it's mostly false.....>>
No, it is by no means mostly false. It's mostly true and the Newsweek article well composed and on target.
Politifact: A brazen left wing propaganda website?

From TPM Wednesday on The Federalist's shoddy commentary ...
talkingpointsmemo.com
The outlet published what was apparently meant to be a rebuttal to House Jan. 6 committee member Adam Schiff (D-CA) revealing on Monday that Mark Meadows had received a text from an unidentified lawmaker arguing that “On January 6, 2021, Vice President Mike Pence, as President of the Senate, should call out all electoral votes that he believes are unconstitutional as no electoral votes at all.”
Schiff didn’t identify the lawmaker by name at the time, but on Wednesday the Federalist went ahead and revealed that the sender was Jordan while simultaneously accusing Schiff of purposefully distorting the text.
In the telling of the Federalist, Schiff had deceptively edited the screenshot he presented to the House and misleadingly attributed the language to the unnamed “lawmaker.” The Federalist claimed that the text was actually written by a lawyer named Joseph Schmitz who was summarizing to Jordan his legal theory that Pence could throw out Biden electors, and that Jordan had merely forwarded Schmitz’s summary to Meadows. This, the Federalist seemed to suggest, was quite different from Jordan personally proposing that Pence do so.
The Federalist also accused Schiff of doctoring the screenshot to add a period at the end of the message and crop out an em dash. According to the Federalist, the message continued: “— in accordance with guidance from founding father Alexander Hamilton and judicial precedence.” Schmitz’s purported summary to Jordan then continued for two more paragraphs.
Shortly after publishing its, uh, scoop, on Wednesday, the Federalist claimed in a triumphant follow-up post that the Jan. 6 committee had “admitted” to “doctoring” the text by … adding a period.
Checkmate!
Jordan’s office confirmed to Politico that the Republican had sent a longer text to Meadows than Schiff had presented:

However, it’s unclear how Jordan forwarding Meadows someone else’s blueprint of how Pence could orchestrate a coup is any less damning than it would be for the lawmaker to have come up with it himself. It’s also unclear how Schiff presenting the entire coup blueprint instead of just a part of it would’ve made Jordan look any less involved in the plot.
Nonetheless, the Federalist gravely claimed that the lawmaker had been misrepresented.
"In his graphic, Schiff erased the final clause and the em dash preceding it and added a period to the first clause without disclosing that he or his staff had chopped up the text and created a fake graphic misrepresenting the actual contents of the text message."
The Federalist’s bizarre screeds came a day after Jan. 6 committee chair Bennie Thompson (D-MS) told CNN that the panel will soon make a decision on when to publicly identify the Republicans who texted Meadows. It’s “important” to release the content of the texts first before revealing who sent them, Thompson said. <<
