Creepy Schiff’s past is the one that should be looked into.

In an exclusive interview with "Meet the Press," Schiff said “there is great weight” to the argument that impeaching Trump is an imperative in order to take a stand that the allegations he’s accused of — mainly, obstruction of justice — cannot be tolerated by Congress. But he said a failed impeachment fight could end up sending the wrong message.
“I worry equally about the message of taking an impeachment case to trial, losing that case, having the president acquitted, and then having an adjudication that this conduct is not impeachable,” he said.
"The jury I'm most worried about, not the Senate because I think that's a preordained conclusion, is the American people. Can we make the case to the American people? I want to make sure that's true before we go down that path because it's going to occupy a year of the nation's time."
The debate is dividing Democrats on Capitol Hill right now, with nearly 100 House Democrats supporting impeachment.

Is an “impeachment case” a “trial”?
I guess I am not clear on the procedures and terminology. Is there a judge? Jury?
This sh*t had got to stop already. It’s over. Move on. Ain’t happening.
It’s like the jilted lover that becomes a stalker. Just stop. Geez.
Show us the high crimes and misdemeanors there Schiffty? The criminals are your own DemoRats. Justice is blind after all.
Impeachment by the House is like an indictment. There is then a trial in the Senate. The full Senate is the jury.
An acquittal is a virtual certainty. One of the many reasons Dems are bluffing on impeachment. It’s a fundraising scheme to defraud their own dopey constituents and hide their dearth of accomplishments.
Hey BugeyedPencilneck, I thought you had solid proof!
Impeachment is an Indictment.
The Trial is in the Senate.
In other words he knows this is going nowhere.
Creepy Schiff’s past is the one that should be looked into.
That’s because you have no grounds for impeachment.
The House impeaches (indicts) and if they are successful, (all it takes is a simple majority) a trial is held in the Senate, presided over the Chief Justice of SCOTUS. To convict (remove from office). 2/3rds of Senators most vote guilty in order to remove POTUS from office.
Schitt for Brains would be well advised to cover his own rear rather than worrying about Our Donald.
It is just to get the narrative in new voters heads....and keep old trump haters satisfied. Just fishin’ for votes. These politicians know the general public pays little attention.
For one, moron, it’s not a criminal trial. However, his terminology is completely wrong. If he were honest, he’s not, he would say:
The impeachment WILL end in his acquittal, which is why I don’t want to go through with it, because we’ll look like fools. It’s much easier to lie and make believe to stir up the base, outside of that we have nothing. And then of course, they have to worry about all the evidence, that they really don’t want public, coming out.
Where’s that evidence you so called had Pencil D*** ?
That’s what I thought.
I’m confused. He’s been claiming for two years that this is a slam dunk case and that the evidence is overwhelming. He should have no problem convincing the American people.
Unless, of course, he’s been selling the country a load of bullsh** the entire time and now, when its time to put up or shut up, he’s backing away from the table.
But, it’s to get him out of office, not put him in jail. From there the DOJ can file on him, but, if nothing else, this whole thing has proven that without a willing DOJ or some other federal entity, what Congress does is nothing but theatrics.
Wrong, Schiff. Trump impeachment trial could end in judges and congresscritters stacked like cord wood. Take your best shot, you sniveling pencil-neck. Patience is wearing thin.
Over 70% of the Dem base wants impeachment. They have fallen for the Dem rhetoric coming from the likes of Schiff and Nadler who have painted themselves into a corner. And the Dem Presidential candidates are all in as well. No wonder since the majority of Dem voters believe that the Russians changed the vote totals.
