I listened to House Impeachment Committee Chairman Adam Schiff's Opening Remarks today and was struck by one thing he said.

It was about Trump's insistence that President Zelenski must make an announcement on CNN of Trump's fantasy dream investigation into Burisma and the Bidens' involvement.

Why so specific?

Why CNN?

I thought Trump hated CNN.

He calls CNN fake news.

Why would he want President Zelenski to make public announcements on a 'fake news' outlet?

Was it because he knew that if Zelenski did it, it would be a fake investigation announcement just to placate Trump?
