Russians Prank Adam Schiff, promising him nude photos of Trump.

[announced]

In this audio posted on YouTube by Russian pranksters, Rep. Adam Schiff can be heard discussing claims that the FSB has naked pictures of President Trump. Assume these Russians are involved with intelligence operations.

The Daily Mail reports that Schiff sent his staff to try and collect "classified materials for the FBI" after the prank callers told him Putin has naked blackmail pictures of President Trump.

Schiff can be heard discussing the Russia investigation with a man who claimed to be Andriy Parubiy, the chairman of the Ukrainian Parliament.



The call, made a year ago, was reportedly from two Russian comedians nicknamed 'Vovan' and 'Lexus' who have become notorious for their phony calls to high-ranking American officials and celebrities, including UN Ambassador Nikki Haley and Elton John. The call was first reported in The Atlantic's Jan/Feb 2018 issue, where a spokesman for Schiff said: "Before agreeing to take the call, and immediately following it, the committee informed appropriate law-enforcement and security personnel of the conversation, and of our belief that it was probably bogus."

"There were pictures of naked Trump," one of the pranksters told Schiff, explaining that they were obtained by Putin's goddaughter.

Schiff asks: "And the materials you can provide to the committee and to the FBI, would they corroborate this allegation? ... So you have recordings... where they're discussing the compromising material?"

"Obviously we would welcome the chance to get copies of those recordings," Schiff tells them. "So we will try to work with the FBI to try to figure out how we can take copies of those... I'll be in touch with the FBI about this, and we'll make arrangements with your staff. I think it would be best to provide these materials to both our committee and the FBI. We'll make arrangements between my staff and yours on how to facilitate that."

The duo also prank called Elton John, pretending to be Vladimir Putin:

Pretty hilarious if I do say so myself, it's especially funny how easily they hooked him. They also got Elton John.

Maybe but the take should be how he wanted to include the FBI with this not skirt it like Don Jr. and other that sought out Russian help. You know, just like honest people would.

I listened to it completely and things like this you really can't disregard until proven false or true, especially with trump. Notice how he was just taking notes, letting them talk and said that he would pass the information over to the FBI and Committees which is proper procedure.

He did what Trump jr should have done...

This is a complete non-story. When you're in a position like he is and someone calls you with that sort of information, you have to take it seriously (even more so when there is already an investigation going on into the subject of the call).

Schiff acted completely correctly. The fact it was a couple of jokers doesn't change that.

Seriously.

This is as idiotic as a couple of "pranksters" calling the cops and saying "I have a bomb and unless I get 5 million dollars, I'm blowing up the train station", and then laughing when the cops show up at the train station.

Of course they fucking do, because they can't assume it's a joke, in case it isn't. All this does is put Schiff in a good light for following protocol and dialing in the FBI ASAP.

Wow the difference in morals between republicans and democrats is amazing.

One side is interested in dirt on their opponents the other goes "Ok I'll let the FBI know".

How much would it cost me to NOT get nudes of Trump?

If you could guarantee Trump's removal from office by seeing a nude of him, would you do it?

Nope. Presidents come and go, but I'm stuck with my memory for awhile.

Take one for the team, dude. We're counting on you.

How does it work? Id imagine a majority of white woman would still vote for him

Feminism was a mistake, I guess?

I dunno, there's no law against having bad taste.

Judging by how feminism threads go on GEN-OT.

Being an upper middle class white person is one helluva a drug. And Trump is the opioid president.

This is all that needs to be said really. I'll never understand how this qualifies as humor.

Maybe I'm just gettin' old.

That's pretty much what I got out of this. I'm not even seeing how this is supposed to be 'hilarious'

So, what Schiff did is what we call in statistics, a false positive, or an error type 1? and him being a responsible adult being is bad, because...
seriously Trumpettes, how stupid can you be?

Those guys are taking Jerky Boys to the next level. I love what they did to our U.N. Ambassador (was that these guys or another group?).

And, as usual, you make the adult point. Could not agree more - there was literally nothing Schiff could have done differently with this - he has to assume it's real, and act accordingly.

I don't know, that balding shot of him going up the steps to the plane was pretty bad. I imagine the rest of him looks worse?
