I want you to make up dirt on my political opponent.”This is where Schiff gave Trump an opening for attack. … He took my really — believe it or not — congenial and gentle words, and he made me sound like a tyrant,” Trump said Oct. 5.

Finally, in complaining that Schiff concocted the words used in the call, Trump conjures up an invented conversation of Pelosi with her staff.
