## Post text

> "MARIA HAS CALLED OUT SCHIFF'S CLAIMS FOR YEARS"

## What the media says

**Video transcript** (4:18), transcribed automatically, so names and numbers may be wrong. Speakers aren't identified, so a voice in it may not be his:

> Over and over again, Adam Schiff went on programs saying things like that. We never bought into Schiff's claims, of course, and our audience knows better. I spoke with current CIA Director John Ratcliffe repeatedly when he was congressman and on the Judiciary Committee over a 10-year period. Here's one of those conversations on "Sunday Money Futures" so many years ago. The Democrats have made the mistake of staking the credibility of all this on Adam Schiff. The person that they put in charge of this investigation turns out as the one that helped start it by meeting with a person who walked out of Adam Schiff's office and became the whistleblower and at the very same time that that's happening, as you mentioned, now there's an inspector general report that comes out that says during the last impeachment hoax, the Trump-Russia one, Adam Schiff repeatedly made false statements to the American people about the FBI's actions. Adam Schiff was certainly out and about a lot throughout the last three years, saying that there is collusion in plain sight, and now we get the IG report and we actually see the misconduct and what they call errors, fraud, whatever you want to call it. What is your reaction to what you learned from Michael Horowitz? It wasn't just that Adam Schiff was out and about. He put out a report that said there was no FISA abuse by the FBI. That was false. He said that the FBI didn't fail to turn over exculpatory information. That was false. He said that the Steele dossier was not a central part of the FISA applications against Carter Page. That was false. When I asked to comment, Schiff's office said this, quote, "Cash Patel's latest smear against Senator Schiff is absolutely and categorically false. These baseless smears are based on allegations that were found to be not reliable, not credible and unsubstantiated from a disgruntled former staffer." Ashley Davis, the whistleblower, says all this started because Adam Schiff assumed he was going to be the CIA director in a Hillary Clinton administration. Of course, President Trump won, and for years we poked holes in this ridiculous story of Russia collusion that Adam Schiff was going on all these shows claiming about President Trump. He knew better, and you know what's really incredible, that when you have the title of Chairman of Intelligence Committee, people believe what you say, Ashley. He's going all these shows with this title that he knows something that we don't, even though it was complete nonsense. Absolutely, Maria, and first of all, good morning, but one of the major things I think that is different from what this story has been doing the last few years with just bubbling up is the fact that the FBI unclassified the 302 document from the FBI. So now there's real proof that Congress can see. They already delivered it last night or yesterday afternoon to Congress. They can actually see the research, even though some of it's redacted. Here's what I'm watching, the number one thing. What is Chuck Grassley going to do? He is a huge supporter of whistleblowers. He has been after Schiff and what his in his leaking potential since 2020. He's chair of the Judiciary Committee. And how is he going to investigate or hold Schiff responsible? I think that's where the world power is right now. Yeah, no, you're right. And also Pam Bondi and Cash Patel. We need Pam Bondi to actually pursue prosecutions here. This story ripped the country apart, Adam. Oh, my gosh. It ripped the country apart, and you thankfully, Maria, stayed on top of it the whole time. We always, as we were talking back then, as we listened to Schiff, as we talked about Schiff, there was something about it that just didn't ring true. It was just so highly manipulated and so partisan. And imagine someone actually doing all of that, going down that road and creating falsifying information for political gain. It's shocking. Well, it's shocking because all it was always about was holding on to their grip on power.

# Analysis

_Machine-generated by trump.fm on 2026-03-22T03:27:23.632Z (UTC): a model's reading of this post, not his words. Its psychological terms describe the language, not a clinical assessment of him._

## Analysis: "MARIA HAS CALLED OUT SCHIFF'S CLAIMS FOR YEARS"

### Overview
A brief, all-caps post sharing a video clip of Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo criticizing Adam Schiff. This is a routine supply-seeking/validation post in a series of similar content on this date—all reinforcing Trump's narrative through third-party endorsements.

### Authorship
Posted at 11:37 AM ET (Trump likely at Mar-a-Lago or White House in August). Business hours, brief caption over shared media, consistent with aide-assisted posting. However, the ALL CAPS and brevity are Trump signatures. Likely Trump-directed, possibly aide-executed.

### Psychological Pattern
This post fits a clear pattern visible across the day's posts: curating third-party validation. Eric Trump praising him, Newt Gingrich praising him, polling numbers, and now Maria Bartiromo validating his long-standing grievance against Schiff. The Schiff reference is a perseverative grudge—Schiff was central to both impeachments and the Russia investigation. This is maintenance-level narcissistic supply combined with grudge reinforcement.

### Rhetorical Function
The post elevates Bartiromo as a credible validator while keeping Schiff as a persistent antagonist. "FOR YEARS" emphasizes that Trump's position was correct all along—a vindication narrative.

## Fact Verification

| "Maria Bartiromo has called out Schiff's claims for years" | **Mostly True** | Bartiromo has been a consistent critic of Schiff's Russia collusion claims since at least 2018-2019, frequently challenging them on Fox Business. |

## That day

_From trump.fm's machine-generated digest of the day, not his words._

**Military Deployed to the Capital as a Manufactured Crisis Caps a Day of Grandiose Self-Promotion**

The day was dominated by routine self-promotion -- sharing positive media clips, quoting allies, and boasting about polling numbers -- with brief flashes of anger in the morning over Bolton's criticism of the upcoming Putin summit and old Schiff leak allegations. The most significant development came in the evening, when a lengthy post painted Washington DC as more dangerous than Fallujah and Bogota to justify deploying 800 National Guard troops, despite actual crime data showing 30-year lows. The contrast between "winning on everything" earlier in the day and the capital supposedly being a war zone by evening was striking and unresolved.
