Stephanopoulos to Schiff: If what Trump said was so bad, why make up dialogue?

Hot Air  "Kudos to George Stephanopoulos for asking the obvious question after last week’s stunt at the House Intelligence Committee — although Adam Schiff seemed surprised by it. “If the facts are as damning as you say,” ABC’s This Week host asked, “why make up dialog for dramatic effect, even if it’s a parody, as you say?”
Schiff never gets around to actually answering that question, nor does he have one for another of Stephanopoulos’ questions (via Twitchy):
. . . "Instead, we got parody … the precise thing into which is what Schiff has transformed himself over the past two years. It would be a lot easier to take anything Schiff says seriously if he hadn’t destroyed his credibility by claiming for two years that he’d seen objective evidence of Trump colluding with Russian intelligence, only to have Robert Mueller confirm that no such evidence exists. This is a case of derangement, and Schiff just made it even more public in his opening statement — so much so that Stephanopoulos had no choice but to point out the obvious.
"It’s not as if the Zelensky call isn’t troublesome and doesn’t raise questions about Rudy Giuliani’s activities in Ukraine. It does, however, make it clear that Schiff can’t conduct a credible investigation into it. It’s certainly not evidence for impeachment, except perhaps as parody.
"Speaking of which, here’s the other question from Stephanopoulos that Schiff couldn’t quite answer:" . . .
