Adam Schiff: Congress Must Impeach Trump to Stop Him in 2020
Breitbart ^ | 12/10/2019 | Hannah Bleau

Posted on 12/10/2019 11:51:54 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) on Tuesday indicated that Democrats must impeach President Trump quickly in order to stop him from prevailing in the 2020 presidential election.

Democrats on Tuesday unveiled two articles of impeachment against the president: abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. Notably, neither allege a high crime or misdemeanor. Noticeably absent was the Democrats’ longheld appeal to bribery, extortion, or treason.

It’s official. Pelosi’s House is now The Schiff House (apologies to the nations outhouses for the slander).

“Democrats on Tuesday unveiled two articles of impeachment against the president: abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. Notably, neither allege a high crime or misdemeanor. “

Abuse of power and obstruction of congress isn’t considered high crimes or misdemeanors? If that is the case, the rats are going to go for censure to protect those 31 seats.

Ya know,k Schiffty the Moron, if Trump was such a bad guy and bad President, he wouldn’t be re-elected.

I cannot imagine more idiotic reasoning.

however, Mr. Shiff, your baseless smear kind of ‘impeachment’ is only making PDJT even more popular than he already was

if you had come up with any credibly impeachable offense against PDJT, impeachment could possibly have helped you politically

but everyone sees you’ve only stapled together a pile of lies and smears.....so, this kind of fake ‘impeachment’ only undercuts the D campaign more and more

in short you had the right prescription but you’ve filled it with such obvious garbage that its only making your DNC patient’s campaign worse and worse

better luck next time?
ps: if you really wanted a chance of winning, you only had to nominate a credible candidate...(hint: NOT any of the current DNC crooks, liars, thieves, seditionists, or clowns...hint hint hint)

“McClintock sits on the Senate Judiciary Committee.”

When did McClintock win a Senate seat?

I’m reminded of the movie Godfather II where the Senator from Nevada woke up in bed with a dead hooker.

More inclined to think in this case it would be a dead boy.

“ The talisman of impeachment won’t stop Trump from getting re-elected.”

A pure partisan impeachment will be a badge of honor. It means Trump is doing exactly what we elected him to do. Payback is going to hurt a lot, Pencil Neck.

Of course there are checks and balances. But if Congress had a super majority they absolutely have more power. They can impeach and remove executive and judicial branch personnel, they alone can declare war, confirm appointments, spend the money, override vetoes. It’s not a bad thing to say Congress has more power than the President. Thankfully they are rarely able to harness that power.

Sounds like the Democrats just confessed to a conspiracy to violate our voting rights. The Justice Department needs to investigate and arrest.

And there you have it! Couple that with Pelosi’s statement and the real reason is plain to see.

I am wondering where it says a President can be impeached on the grounds of stopping him in the future?

The quote is just another Schiff lie. He says:

““The argument, ‘why don’t you just wait?’ comes down to this: Why don’t you just let him cheat in just one more election?” Schiff stated. “Why not let him have foreign help one more time?”

Obviously, Mueller found no collusion the first time. It is more “exaggeration”. And they cannot prove and do not even demonstrate any attempt at cheating in regards this impeachment claim (though they may draft it in the final resolution).

And as others have pointed out, they don’t want to go down that road because if they do impeach him for “investigating Biden” that opens the door wide open for the Senate to investigate whether Biden deserved being investigated. And that leads to revealing all kinds of other corruptions! They desperately want to avoid justifying any digging in the rabbit hole.

But they have boxed themselves in on this. They are going to lose if these are the articles, and after it is all settled they will be out of gas and Trump will deliver the well deserved political payback.

As an aside, this comment was made at a press conference and I would think, therefor, is not protected by the Speech and Debate Clause. In theory, Schiff opened himself up to a defamation lawsuit by asserting he “cheated” when the entire Mueller investigation showed no evidence that he did.
