[See NewsBusters for more.]  Jay Sekulow, Donald Trump’s lawyer, sparred with CBS This Morning co-host Tony Dokoupil on Friday, offering a feisty response and forcing the network to actually hear about Adam Schiff’s fake transcript from the Ukraine hearing. As the Media Research Center’s Nick Fondacaro noted on Thursday, CBS and the other networks skipped the fabricated transcript read by the California Democrat. It included lines that sound like something out of a mobster movie. Schiff fabricated, “And I'm going to say this only seven times, so you better listen good. I want you to make up dirt on my political opponent? Understand?” Lots of it.” This Morning on Friday again skipped Schiff’s deception. As Dokoupil badgered him on Ukraine, Sekulow retorted, “Why didn't Adam Schiff just read the transcript instead of doing a parody when he started the event off as if it was a Saturday Night Live routine?” Not interested in the topic, Dokoupil sputtered back: “That's a question you can ask to Adam Schiff if you guys sit down together.”
