President Donald Trump’s retribution campaign against his political adversaries could soon hit the Senate — and lawmakers are already bracing for impact.
After securing the indictments of former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James, Trump has his sights set on Sen. Adam Schiff, the California Democrat who as a member of the House managed the president’s first impeachment trial.
If Schiff ends up indicted on allegations of mortgage fraud — a charge he has vehemently denied — or for any other claim, it would mark an unprecedented escalation for Trump to target an outspoken political adversary who is also a federal elected official.
As Schiff solicits dollars for a legal defense fund and builds an expansive political operation prepared to do damage control around any potential charges, Schiff’s Democratic colleagues in Congress are increasingly anxious about their own vulnerability. They are also frustrated with the unwillingness of Republican senators to speak out on Schiff’s behalf.
“I’ve spoken to a number of Republicans, and they are certainly disquieted, if not dismayed, by the increasing weaponization of the Department of Justice,” said Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.). “Because it tears down the norms and rule of law that protects them and all Americans, as well as Adam Schiff and Democrats who may be targeted by Trump.”

Pencilneck should be in prison.
Mortgage fraud should be the least of his concerns. He’s a strait up traitor life half of the left.
Indeed, “retribution campaign “ leftists doing what leftist do, project,
Lie, smear.
Lawfare is totally fine when they do it, but it is ”retribution “ when they suffer the consequences of their actions.
FAFO
Schiffty got a presidential pardon for his many crimes. What crimes?
“ “I’ve spoken to a number of Republicans, and they are certainly disquieted, if not dismayed, by the increasing weaponization of the Department of Justice,” said Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.). “Because it tears down the norms and rule of law that protects them and all Americans, as well as Adam Schiff and Democrats who may be targeted by Trump.””
From the mouth of stolen valor dick bloviator😂
Bet the “republicans” he has spoken with have names like Cheney, Ryan, kissmyass, and mittens😎
Every accusation from a dementiacrat (leftist, socialist, you know, communist) is a projected admission of guilt.
Retribution campaign? I stopped reading.
Hailey, did you not pay attention during the ‘Peachmints and watch Bug Eyes lie, slander, and make up out of whole cloth claims of criminality?
Is he above the law because he is a Senator?
I think president can only pardon federal crimes. Shifty may have state crimes on his rap sheet.
THE REAL QUESTION IS WHY DID Rand Paul OBJECT TWICE to Senator John Kennedy’s Proposal to STOP Congressional Pay During Schumer Shutdown???!!!

Pencilneck should be in prison
When the cuffs are around his neck this traitor will be stuffed.
All true, but not in their demented minds. I think they truly see themselves as guiltless and persecuted.
After watching years of pencil neck with a straight face tell us the evidence is in plain sight…they are pathological and psychotic
Clinton, comey, Brennen, shiff, Schumer, Pelosi….
Sadly it took a stoke for federmann to partially wake up
Heh, what goes around comes around, Politico. Your lot keeps gravitating to the standard answer, not realizing that it constantly exposes you for what you are - liars and simpletons. Let’s sum it up in a manner that even leftist journalists can understand: Trump was punched and he was innocent. He’s now punching back and the targets are guilty.
Sleazy and guilty. Untalented, sleazy and guilty. Ugly, too.
Retribution or not, the only question is whether or not there is evidence to convict him of his accusations.
“Retribution campaign”. 🙄🫤
Never mind that AS is a criminal.
Don’t know. It appears that many in the “legal” profession are above the law.
Because he is a “purer than Caesar’s wife” Republican....
