Representative Adam Schiff (D., Calif.) said Monday that “a whole range of utterly unacceptable conduct in a president would now be beyond reach” if the Senate acquits President Trump in his impeachment trial.
Schiff, the lead House impeachment manager, said during closing arguments in the trial that “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 also accused Trump’s legal team of employing the “dangerous” and “absurd” argument that a president cannot be impeached for anything other than a violation of federal criminal law.
According to Trump’s lawyers, “abuses of power that would help the president get reelected were permissible and therefore unimpeachable, and only those for pecuniary gain were beyond the pale,” Schiff argued. “Under this theory, as long as a president believed his reelection was in the public interest he could do anything and no quid pro quo was too corrupt, no damage to our national security too great.“

Hell, it's funny anyway.
But it's good to see Democrats finally admit a truth: US Presidents site above the law. Literally and figuratively.
Generally, they can do whatever they please.
Only impeachment and removal can stop them.
Oh, and only uneducated 3rd graders believe a POTUS has to violate US Criminal Code to be impeached and removed.
Is this guy retarded, or what?
Was this a Babylon Bee “article” ?
this thing is still going on??....gotta be the biggest political swing and a miss ever.....what a fizzle out..
Schiffward’s folly...
“Is this guy retarded, or what?”
He is a disinformation specialist trained by the US DOJ. His job is to communicate lies and BS to America’s stupid people.
He is very good at it.
He doesn’t not care what you, or anyone like you thinks of what he says.
He’s not talking to you.
Could we offer them Murkowsi, just to test the waters?
Why give Alaska back? We paid for it. Give Putin San Fran Nancy and we can call it even. Hell we will even throw in Schifftzhead.
Truely, if Trump could give Alaska away what makes Adam think he’ll be around to see it? Look how things worked out for Epstein.
There must surely be some respectable American citizen being unjustly held in a Russian prison that President Trump could trade Schiff for.
Monkeys could actually fly out of his butt this is Hugh and series!
Grasping for straws. Careful! He might poke his eyes out.
Could he order the arrest of Hillary & Obama for treason, using our intelligence services to spy on a candidate AND all of the charges they falsely accuse Trump of doing???
Now that would be crazy.
Schiffty must stop smoking that stuff, his brain must be swelling to make his eyeballs popout.
Schiff has outsatired the Babylon Bee.
No he wouldn't. He'd get a boatload of cash for it, then use the money to purchase Baja California.
“No he wouldn’t. He’d get a boatload of cash for it, then use the money to purchase Baja California. “
And he would purchase that distressed property with “good bones and location” at a 60% discount.
And “pocket” the rest.
who does schiff think he is? A Pre-cog from “Minority Report”?
Time to lock shift up
Bath salts are bad. M’Kay...
He’s probably projecting DNC plans again!
