Schiff warns that Trump could sell Alaska to Russia, if unchecked,
Fox News ^ | 2/4/2020 | Edmund DeMarche

Rep. Adam Schiff, the lead House impeachment manager, warned on Monday that if President Trump's dealings with Ukraine are not impeachable offenses, then nothing would stand in his way from attempting bolder power grabs -- going so far to claim Trump could use Alaska as a bargaining chip with "the Russians" for support in 2020.

(((SNIP)))

"If abuse of power is not impeachable ... Trump could offer Alaska to the Russians in exchange for support in the next election or decide to move to Mar-a-Lago permanently and let Jared Kushner run the country, delegating to him the decision whether to go to war," Schiff said. "Because those things are not necessarily criminal, this argument would allow that he could not be impeached for such abuses of power. Of course, this would be absurd. More than absurd, it would be dangerous."

Damn I really liked “The Big Lebowski”, ,but knowing that it is a favorite of Schiff makes me doubt my mind. It certainly changes my thoughts on the movie.

Hell, let’s get bidding war, with Canada, Russia, China and Japan in on it. We could easily pay off the national debt and finance MFA.

They are saying Dershowitz said it first, but that was a different scenario—a Russian invasion of Alaska that a President failed to prevent.

Wish Trump would announce during the SOT that he has reached a deal with Russia to trade California for Crimea.

Actually, what you, and almost every post on this thread are saying (Shift is insane), are missing what he was really doing. What he said was not insane, what he pitched to Murkowski was as shrewd a political tactic as any of us have seen used by any used car salesman.

It didn’t matter beans to shifty if he thought Trump actually would sell Alaska, Alaska has historically not been in the democrats pocket.

See my post 49, for what he was really doing.

And they’re coming to take me away ha-haaa
They’re coming to take me away ho-ho hee-hee ha-haaa
To the funny farm
Where life is beautiful all the time
And I’ll be happy to see those nice young men
In their clean white coats
And they’re coming to take me away ha-haaa

Why does Brennan, Comey and hundreds, if not thousands, of other traitors? POTUS needs to do a mass revocation of clearances.

Isn’t that the truth! The Left always gives us a heads-up of what they are doing by accusing us of doing it.
