Trump says lead impeachment Democrat Schiff has not paid 'price, yet'

WASHINGTON - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Sunday that the Democratic lawmaker leading the impeachment case against him, Representative Adam Schiff, has “not paid the price, yet” for his actions, a statement Schiff said he viewed as a threat.

The vitriol from Trump against Schiff and other Democrats followed three days of their arguments in his impeachment trial before the U.S. Senate on charges he abused the power of his office by pressuring Ukraine to investigate a political rival, and then tried to obstruct an investigation by Congress.

“Shifty Adam Schiff is a CORRUPT POLITICIAN, and probably a very sick man. He has not paid the price, yet, for what he has done to our Country!” Trump said on Twitter.

Asked on NBC’s “Meet the Press” if he took the Republican president’s social media post as a threat, Schiff said, “I think it’s intended to be.”

Schiff said on NBC he was making the argument “that it’s going to require moral courage to stand up to this president.”

“This is a wrathful and vindictive president,” he said. “I don’t think that there’s any doubt about it and if you think there is, look at the president’s tweets about me today, saying that I should pay a price.”

a statement Schiff said he viewed as a threat.

I'd say not so much a threat but a guarantee...I suspect President Trump doesn't make many idle threats...

He was just doing Brenan's and Clapper's, CNN's and the F.I.B.'s job for them. He should have told them NO.

Schiff is bound and determined to pound that round peg into a square hole. Ain’t gonna happen.

I wish there was a way for me to file suit against him and his fellow life members of the clown parade. Recoup some of my hard earned tax dollars they’ve taken from me and wasted on this garbage.

Sure hope we can take back the House next November. And hang onto the Senate as well.

GO PRESIDENT TRUMP!

Well, as far a Karma goes, we all know about the Trump-jinx. Seems to work in athletics.

BTW, bet it all on KC for the Superbowl. Richard Sherman said he probably wouldn’t go to the White House if invited. Shouldn’t have said that.

Pics abound of Schiff and that gay, drug using murderer, Ed Buck. I’m sure Schiff attended more than a few parties that Ed Buck held at his home in Schiff’s district.

This Schiff moron and half or MORE of the Dems are scared Schiffless as Trump has ALL of them with their hands directly or indirectly thru the Clintons in the Ukraine cookie jar! And Trump’s debate comment to Hitlery that “...YOU’D BE IN JAIL” now makes more sense: He has the goods on the whole damn crew.

I totally agree, the GOP needs to make a comprehensive written record of every act of corruption by Schittforbrains.

When the documentation is formally announced and submitted into the Congressional Record, there should also be a formal resolution denouncing Schitt and calling for his resignation from Congress.

“Never any “vitriol” from the Democrats for three and a half years.”

And Ralph Northam is never called “controversial” in the commie press.

Thanks for responding to my post.

I was chatting with my pastor after services a few hours ago and we noted with some bewilderment how the Methodists are splitting up over ... what else, the church’s attitude toward gays.

We both shook our heads in bewilderment over the clear fact that a tiny sliver of the population accounts for such a huge share of public discourse — and often pretty acrimonious public discourse, at that.

“It was not a threat, just a simple observation.”

I think Trump was referring to Hell, where liars do pay a price.

When a persecutor gets openly nuked lying to the US Senate and the America public while boring them to death for 24 hrs in a coup against a sitting president, there is a price to pay.
