Roger Stone on Thursday said Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., was “full of Schiff” for claiming Stone had lied in a previous hearing before Congress.
The remark, a take on the term “full of shit,” meaning someone lied, came as Stone spoke at an American Priority conference in Washington Thursday. Stone also said Schiff was a “con man.”
Schiff, ranking Democrat on the House Select Committee on Intelligence, said on Sunday Stone’s emails with special counsel witness Jerome Corsi told a different story than he had testified to the House. He insisted it ought to be provided to special counsel Robert Mueller so the prosecutor would know whether Stone had perjured himself.
Stone recently rejected Senate Democrats’ request to testify and exercised his Fifth Amendment rights. The Hill reported he later told reporters at the conference he might end up testifying before the Senate if Democrats allow the hearing to be public not private.
It’s not the first time Schiff’s name has been linked to the term. President Trump had called Schiff “little Adam Schitt” in a November tweet.
